CD Reviews with Betty Cheesman

Boer War Army

This fully searchable CD of The Army List 1900 was published in January 1900 during the Boer War. The bookmarked images of the original text contain a lot of detail with particulars of ranks of officers who served in the many regiments and departments of the Army, at home and abroad. There are alphabetical indexes of officers on the Active List and those retired from it.

Also listed are civil employees, volunteers, chaplains, nursing and prison staff and staff of other departments of the Army. Deaths, distinctions, medals awarded, recent promotions and appointments and other facts are given. It also lists deceased officers' and soldiers' unclaimed monies and where the next of kin should apply! There are interesting pages of Army-related advertisements. Pages may be printed.
