19th C Colonial Militia Reference?

[Roy]

Hi Gents,

An odd question but does anyone have or know of a reference for 19th Century British Colonial Militia Units?

As British Colonies and Protectorates proliferated throughout the world during the Victorian period, Militia units also were created in far flung regions. I have a few buttons to various units but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to do any research and information on individual units seems very scant, for example dates of the creation/disbandment of individual units. So I though I would through out this question just in case anyone knows of a reference (or list) which details Colonial Militia Units and their dates of activation?

Long shot I know but hey, no harm in asking.

Cheers,

Roy
