Also useful to know.

There is always the two: the official lineage at one side and the "where did all the people go that still indentify themselves with the regiment".

The form I choose for my charts is for helping people in following the regiments through history and trying to show changes in relation to those of other units. This as an aid for those who study units. This to help creating a overview when reading dry textual information.
But the format has it's limitations and in war time so many units where split, merged, changed to other arms, etc. that it is impossible to fit all that in a chart like this

It is all about compromises and choices to be made what can be added and what not.

But every gap filled is a step forward
