This thread is meant as a place to post sources that you use often, or just enjoy reading that you think would come in handy for others. The only stipulation is that it needs to be free and easily accessible. Any subject or period after 1900 (I am going to post a similar thread for the >1900 thread) is allowable here. I will periodically make threadmarks for the different posts to make it easy to find the sources in future.

List of Orders of Battle
I know it's Wikipedia, but if you are just looking for quick information on an Order of Battle for a certain battle or campaign, then you are likely to find it here, especially if it is major one. Although the information isn't 100% perfect or complete, it is still a helpful source.
