Can anyone point me in the direction of a book, article or something that describes the various units of the Cheshire Militia, Volunteers, Yeomanry, etc, ideally specifically during the period of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars? (Or indeed before or after...)
Specifically re the Militia - I'm interested in eventually knowing where the Cheshire Militia were during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars as Google picks them up in various places, so they seem to have been one of those militias called up.
Unfortunately, Chester Military Museum's catalogue on A2A only lists archive material relating to the First World War, so I've no idea whether their archives have anything. Chester Record Office has loads of detail stuff with all sorts of organisations that I've never heard of, so I'm really hoping that there's an overview somewhere to give me a context first....
Grateful for any pointers.
