Under the provisions of the Army Act, 1881, Section 163 (1) (d), this Army List is evidence of the status

and rank of the Officers mentioned in it.

No Army List, except this List, its Half-Yearly Supplement and the Half-Yearly List, is authorised

by the War Office.

The figures in square brackets thus [1] after the titles of Infantry regiments denote the former

regimental districts to wliich the regiments belonged.

The badges, &c, borne on Regimental Colours are shown after the titles of Regiments/the " centre " badge

being printed in heavy type. In the case of Regiments and Corps which do not carry Standards, Guidons

or Colours, the badges &c. shown after their titles are borne on their Clothing or Appointments.

The words subscribed to the titles of regiments, as " Peninsula," " Waterloo," " Neuve Chapelle," & c,

denote the Honours awarded to such regiments in commemoration of their services. Those printed in heavy

type are borne on their Standards or Colours, or, in the case of regiments having no Standards or Colours,

on their Appointments.

Where two dates are shown against the name of an officer without explanation, the first denotes his

seniority in his Regiment or Corps or is his most recent date of appointment to the Regiment or Corps, and

the second denotes his present Army seniority. Where three dates are shown, the second is his date of

substantive appointment to his present rank, and the third denotes his present Army seniority.

Officers whose names are printed in italics are on the supernumerary or seconded lists.

In regimental lists of Foot Guards and Infantry an officer's battalion is indicated by a number in

elliptical brackets, e.g. (2) after his name; a number enclosed in square brackets, e.g. [2], denotes that the

officer is attached and not posted.
