Changes

The following list contains the complete Order of Precedence. While not every regiment was involved in the war, individual officers from nearly every regiment were present in some capacity, attached temporarily to other regiments, or simply visiting the country at this time. A handily available complete list can be found in David Ascoli, '''A Companion to the British Army 1660-1983''' (London: Harrap, 1983) pp. 80-83, or in the Annual Army List for the pertinent years. Some differences occur, and there are slight variations from both in the following list. The one given here is the primary Order followed in the present work. The Order of Precedence was changed in 1882, soon after the end of the Second Afghan War and some of the sources, published after the war, have referred to the new Order.
