Bengal Army European Soldiers database on FIBIS

From the Families in British India Society (www.fibis.org):

Transcribed entries for nearly 10,000 soldiers have been uploaded to the FIBIS database website. The details come from the Registers of Bengal Army European Soldiers for 1790-1839 (IOR/L/MIL/10/122-123) in the India Office Records at the British Library, The registers give full personal details of enlisted men, including casualties, in a rougly alphabetical arrangement in date order of arrival in Bengal. They were compiled at East India House, mainly from the Muster Rolls.

The database can be searched at https://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=1135&s_id=340
