Bengal Infantry
Thanks Sarah for the link you gave. I didn't realise the Archive catalogue was on the BACSA site. The way I did the links seemed clearest to me, but you may feel they should be done differently. Regards [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] 02:37, 15 February 2010 (PST)
== Bengal Infantry ==
I would be happy with Bengal Infantry Finder. The highlighting helps legibility. I did think that the later tables which are not so wide could go side by side but that is beyond my powers. I have noticed some duplication in our Bengal Army pages:
We have '''Category:Bengal Infantry Regiments''' which lists all the Bengal infantry regiments and we have '''Bengal Army Regiments''' which also lists them (I prefer the layout of the latter where 1st precedes 10th) plus a whole lot of local contingents most of which are post Mutiny and don't yet have articles plus regiments of the Punjab Irregular Force which are duplicated under '''Category:Punjab Frontier Force Infantry'''. Then we have a list of Punjab Infantry regiments in red but these in fact have articles with a different title under '''Category:Indian Army Infantry Regiments''' - see 22nd Punjab Infantry/22nd Regiment of Punjab Infantry.
We seem to be getting in a muddle by on the one hand dividing the regiment list before and after the Mutiny and on the other trying to list all the Bengal Regiments up to the amalgamation of the Presidencies in 1895. The same applies to the cavalry regiments.
I think we should stick to the Mutiny as the division point. What do you feel? In any case we need to add redirection to those in red which actually have articles.
