HART’S ARMY LIST 1895

Reprint of the Hart’s Army List for the first quarter of 1895 which includes the Militia and Yeomanry Cavalry, The Royal Marines, Indian Staff Corps and Local Indian Forces. It gives details of war services which include medals and distinctions as well as noting those wounded and the actions in which they were wounded. Periods of half pay are shown as well as cases where officers had purchased their commissions (this custom had been abolished in 1871 but in 1895 there were still officers serving whose army careers had started that way). Reserve of officers and retired officers are not included in Quarterly Lists. For the Indian Army there is a consolidated list showing every officer with his last British regiment, and this is followed by the regimental list in which officers are shown by regiment.
