(Subject: Other Topics - Diverse Subjects…) The author provides the first systematic guide to the genealogical sources in the surviving material about the army, mainly among War Office records in the Public Record Office (now the National Archives). The social origins of both officers and other ranks are discussed and he identifies the various returns from which personal details may be discovered for all ranks. He also explains the system of purchasing commissions and how the volunteer army was recruited.
