Bengal Infantry Finder

From FIBIwiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Bengal Infantry Regiments were frequently reorganized and renumbered. Additonally, post-Mutiny numbers bear little relation to those previously held by regiments as many were disbanded.[1]

This table allows you to find any regiment in the Bengal Native Infantry between 1757 and 1861.

  • Click on the name of the regiment you are seeking under the year you require and it will link to the page in FibiWiki.
  • For example if you select 13th Regiment in 1795 it will bring up the page for the 4th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry which shows that it was called 13th between 1781 and 1796.

Although the list of Bengal Infantry Regiments is confined to units serving up to the Indian Mutiny, this table provides information on successor regiments from 1861 to link with the information in the units listed in the Indian Army Infantry Regiments list. Where information is still to be traced, TBT has been entered.
