Regimental histories at the Internet Archives

Two regimental histories have recently been added to the Canadian Libraries collection of the Internet Archives

Historical record of the Ninth, or the East Norfolk Regiment of Foot [microform] : containing an account of the formation of the regiment in 1685, and of its subsequent services to 1847 (1848)

Historical record of the Sixty-first Gloucestershire Regiment of Foot [microform] : containing an account of the formation of the regiment in 1758 services to 1844 (1844)

The Ninth twice saw service in Canada. You won't likely find names of any but the most senior officers in these histories.

Other histories for UK, Canadian and some other regiments can also be found by searching the Internet Archive texts.
