Synopsis

This book contains the British Army Officer List as of August 1755, the period just before the Seven Years' War began. It lists the following: general and field officers, cavalry and infantry regiments on both the British and Irish Establishments, the Marine Forces, the Royal Regiment of Artillery, garrisons, independent companies, and officers on half-pay. Included with these lists are appendices that give context to this turbulent era such as a chronology of events and the political state of Europe.

About this title

Review:

"Much has been written in North America about the French and Indian Wars. It needs to be remembered that this was one part of the much more global Seven Years' War and the British Army was fighting around the globe. This annotated listing targeting North American researchers is of value to anyone doing British Army research in the period. The layout makes it easier to read, use, and understand than the original published lists and is thus recommended as a research  tool." -Paul Milner, Federation of Genealogical Societies Forum, Volume 27, Number 1, Spring 2015.
