Bibliography
The most important sources from which this website has been compiled are the histories of the Regiments. But no historian would claim that their work was faultless and many facts, names and dates have had to be checked in numerous publications. As this is a condensed history a great deal has had to be omitted; a fuller account of the many events can be gained from the resources listed below:
