This website was founded in 1995 by T.F. Mills, M.L.S.,
a world citizen educated in England, Swizerland and the United States.
He has over thirty years professional experience in librarianship,
research, writing and editing (in and out of academia), and has travelled
widely. He also has a home page
which describes some other projects (and which give a hint of a well
spent youth). He currently resides in Colorado. Email: click here |
Beginning in 2000, Mills has had the good fortune to be assisted by some outstanding gentlemen, whose contributions greatly enhance this site. Mills remains the owner and general editor responsible for Regiments.Org. In addition to these team members, many other contributors are credited on the pages where their work is displayed.

Christopher Buyers joined the team in 2002. His expertise lies
in world royalty and honorary colonels of the Commonwealth. A fairly
complete list of Field Marshals
was added in June 2002. His lists of colonels can be found on the
regimental pages of this website. His contributions to pages on Royal
Colonels can be accessed from the index
of royals. Beginning in 2003 he has also compiled lists of Commanders
in Chief of most of the major territories of the Empire and Commonwealth.
Buyers also has another extensive website, The
Royal Ark: Royal and Ruling Houses of Africa, Asia and the Americas. Email: click here |
| Wienand Drenth,
Ph.D., is a graduate of the University of Eindhoven (Netherlands)
in the Scientific Computing Group. Stemming originally from an interest
in the British Army's liberation of his home in the Second World War,
Drenth later focused his research on Lineages
of the Volunteers and Territorials, a continually expanding work
which is now hosted on this site. Drenth also has a home
page at the University of Eindhoven. Email: click here |

A. Melville-Brown, a professional artist trained as an Art teacher
at Loughborough College, has produced many of the British regimental
badge graphics on this site. After teaching for some years, he started
his own Limited Company, which specialised in designing and printing
First Day Covers for Stamp Collectors. This eventually developed into
two specialised fields, that of "Cricket" (see Cricket
Stamp Collectors Album) and "Military". Using paintings
he commissioned by the well-known military artist Charles Stadden,
Mel published a series of "Military Uniform" postcards.
Mel also used his own artwork to publish another series of postcards
which featured "Crest and Badges of the Armed Forces". These
images are now also licensed to the Kandles
& Co. Military Insignia catalogue. Now retired, Mel designs
postage stamps for several countries around the world. For permission to use Melville-Brown's regimental graphics displayed on this site, please contact the artist directly. The webmaster deeply regrets that for the first three years of their display on this site (2002-2004), these graphics were stolen property erroneously attributed to another person. They are now displayed with the permission of the true artist and copyright holder. Email: click here |

Michael Moir-Bussy,
B.A., belongs to that sturdy breed of Englishmen who,
along with many former worthier regimental comrades, tilled 'foreign
soils' with their blood, sweat and tears. He has had over thirty years
public service, including military and police experience in Papua
New Guinea. Moir-Bussy, bringing a wealth of military and theological
wisdom to the task, serves as general advisor to Regiments.Org. Email: click here |

(divisions and brigades) is now hosted on this site. Email: click here |
