Taken at a time when the British Empire stretched across the globe, this List records officers in the Army just before hostilities with revolutionary France began, heralding the Napoleonic Wars.

The main section of men is split into cavalry and infantry, with each entry giving a name plus the rank and the date this was achieved. There's also an index, a list of corrections and a seperate list of officers on half-pay.
