List of British Army officers
The Army List is a list (or more accurately seven series of lists) of serving regular, militia or territorial British Army officers, kept in one form or another, since 1702.
Manuscript lists of army officers were kept from 1702 to 1752, the first official list being published in 1740.
Women
The first woman to appear in a British Army List was Jane Catherine Shaw Stewart when she was appointed to Netley Hospital in May 1863.[1]
