Bengal Infantry
Hi Sarah and Sy. The online book in question was written in 1846 and the Regiment was then called the 3rd Light Dragoons. I think this is a different regiment to the 17th Dragoons, which was called 3rd Light Dragoons at a much earlier date. Regards[[User:Maureene|Maureene]] 02:02, 7 January 2010 (PST)
== Bengal Infantry ==
I am trying to get to grips with the chronology of the various Bengal Infantry Regiments before the Mutiny. The archive.org volume [http://www.archive.org/stream/anhistoricalacc00willgoog#page/n7/mode/2up here] has been very useful if a bit muddly but it only goes up to the reorganisation of 1796. I attach the spreadsheet I have made to try to analyse the changes. It contains a number of unresolved contradictions and is not helped by the relatively few details in the regiments.org website [http://web.archive.org/web/20071015183834/www.regiments.org/regiments/southasia/lists/ia1859b.htm here]. Our list, in common with others, uses the titles as at the reorganisation of 1824 and I think these remained unchanged until 1857. I have not been able to find any details of the 1824 changes. With your superior internet powers, have you any suggestion where I can look further?--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 03:03, 11 January 2010 (PST)
