Bengal regiments again
Since you also sent me some stuff on the other presidencies I thought I would have a go at Madras Regiments. I remember I tried to sort them out last year with middling success.--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 09:21, 14 March 2010 (PDT)
: Thanks for the feedback. I have corrected the two blunders. 1795 was the year that Capt Williams used as a base year and where I got a lot of my information from. In 1796 the 36 battalions were condensed into 12 regiments of two battalions each. Pargana was the Hindustani word for a tax area. There is an external link on each of the Purgunnah Battalion pages: [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=MU-Ste-h1vMC&pg=PA67&dq=Purgunnah+Battalions&cd=1#v=onepage&q=Purgunnah%20Battalions&f=false Purgunnah Battalions] --[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 08:54, 15 March 2010 (PDT)
