For an order of battle you will access to the material held by the
Public Record Office, Ruskin Avenue, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 4DU.
Although the PRO offers a limited number of what it calls 'paid
searches' of specific areas of its collection, it is frequently still
necessary to visit in person (having first arranged to have a reader's
ticket issued) or else to employ a professional researcher to visit
for you. Details can be obtained from the Search Department at Kew
(tel. (020) 8876-3444, http://www.pro.gov.uk).
I hope these details are of assistance to you.
