Stuart Bates Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Does anyone know what has or is happening to www.Regiments.org? The site has been "temporarily" unavailable for a long time now.I don't have any contact details so decided to create this topic.Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Stewart Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Seemingly it's gone into abeyance and the problem seems to be on the other side of the Atlantic. The European side was continually sending amendments to upgrade the site, regarding British formations, but very little, if anything was being done to it.There was an idea in the pipeline that they may actually produce a published work that would supersede Frederick's massive two volume work "Lingeage of the British Land Forces". If that did happen, then it would be a monumental work considering the changes since 1992 to the British infantry alone. Fredericks himself only ever covered the Infantry & Artillery and never completed his work on the Corp's, but apparently all of his notes still exist and are held in an American institution.I'll try and contact one of the site producers and see if I can get a clear answer.

Tony Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I downloaded the archive a number of months ago but can't remember where or how I did it. This link may be of help for the time being http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.regiments.orgTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yes, I also took advantage of the free download of the archives from Regiments.org as they were available for only a limited period, now, sadly, no longer available.Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 A very sad loss indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Could it be burned to CD???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi Ed, yes it could be burned to CD, a last resort maybe, other options being tried first.Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 E-mailing a 28 meg file will probably present problems, even if compressed (it may not ZIP too much). I am a litytle uncomfortable about some of the copyright aspects here, but the outstanding work that was on Regiments.org needs to be preserved.

Pylon1357 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I too was very sorry to lose this tool. Regiments.org was a fantastic site. I have tried to download the files using the link above, however I can not seem to open the file. I get a browser window that opens and says address not valid. I also note I get no address bar and most of the web browser buttons are not there. I assume I have done something wrong.Could someone assist me in getting this information?
