Good Afternoon Everyone.....

Like many of you I love lists.....

I had on a computer / laptop of mine a list of all the associated units that made up the Mounted Infantry / Rifles.....

i.e.(and this is pure fantasy):

1st Mounted Infantry

Munster Fusiliers
Welsh Regiment
Scottish Fusiliers
Essex Regiment


But a few years ago my battery caught fire and I had not backed it up Ok Ok I know I should have.....

Now does anyone have such a list that they can send me?????

Mike

Good Morning David.....

No that is not exactly what I meant.....

There were Companies of Mounted Infantry made up from units in the field.....

What I am looking for is the makeup of these companies (Not the Volunteer Service Companies).....

If you look at the old Casualty List where it is listed as Regiment XXX, 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, Volunteer Service Co and Mounted Infantry.....

It is the MI that I am looking for.....

Mike

After One Month and 4 Weeks looking .......

Bingo.....

I found it......

I now have the breakdown of all 28 Composite Regiments of Mounted Infantry.....

Mike
