How to find information about individuals who served in these regiments and corps
 
      Units are listed in order of precedence at the end of the Great Mutiny of 1857-59. Regiments were numbered separately in the armies of the three Presidencies of Bengal, Madras and Bombay. The regimental numbering shown here was instituted in 1824. The Hyderabad Contingent was nominally in the Madras Army. After the Mutiny, disloyal regiments (almost all from the Bengal Army) were officially disbanded, all the other native regiments renumbered, and the "European" regiments absorbed directly into the British Army. All these changes are shown in the right margin.
