→Bengal Infantry
== Bengal Infantry ==
Sarah, I have had a shot at a table to access the various regiments at different times. Would you mind having a look at [[Bengal Infantry Table]]. The idea is to list the regiments in chronological order for each of the critical dates and link the regiment number to the relevant regiment page. I have put in a few as an example. I now realise that this wont cover all the variables. For instance 19th Battalion was raised in 1764 but was broken up in 1781. This doesn't feature so far on our regiment pages which only covers the replacement 19th which is shown on our page for [[17th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry]]. Any suggestions as to how we can address this?--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 11:09, 18 January 2010 (PST)
==Military online autobiographies==
Hi Sarah and Sy: Can you suggest a page for military autobiographies where they seem to have changed regiments a lot, so you can’t put them on the Regiments page, I can't work what war or battle to place them in, but the book seems to contain content of interest. Would a section on the bottom of [[Chronological list of Wars and Campaigns]] be satisfactory?<br>
