New Annual Army List

Volumes are from the Hathi Trust Digital Library, the Archive.org website,with others from Google Books, and the website of the National Library of Scotland.

The title of this commercial publication varied over time: 1840-1853, The New Annual Army List. 1854-1869, The New Annual Army List, and Militia List. 1870-1880, The New Annual Army List, Militia List, and Indian Civil Service List. 1881-1893, The New Annual Army List, Militia List, Yeomanry Cavalry List, and Indian Civil Service List. 1894-1901, The New Annual Army List, Militia List, and Yeomanry Cavalry List. 1902-1903, Hart's Annual Army List, Militia List, and Yeomanry Cavalry List. 1904-1908, Hart's Annual Army List, Militia List, and Imperial Yeomanry List. 1909-1915 Hart's Annual Army List, Special Reserve List and Territorial Force List.

By 1881, the Table of Contents had become more detailed, and it is easier to see the sections which may be relevant for India. In additional to details about the Bengal, Madras and Bombay Armies, which also include Medical Department, Veterinary Department and Ecclesiastical Department details, sections such as Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers and Staff Abroad also contain information about officers in India. From 1904 the title page stated "Containing dates of commissions, and a summary of the war services of nearly every officer in the Army, Supply &c. Departments, Marine and Indian Army, and Indian local forces." Some editions also contain Indian Civil Service Lists, refer Directories online-India List and India Office List for a separate list. The earlier editions, approximately prior to the early 1860s contain less information relevant to India. Editions from the early 1860s to 1880 contain information which may not be indexed.

There were also official publications by the War Office, published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office.(HMSO).

Quarterly Army List

A War Office publication printed by Authority, by Her/ His Majesty’s Stationery Office, (HMSO). The War Office also published a Monthly Army List. Both these publications were official publications.

The British Library has editions from 1880 under the title The Official Army List for the quarter ending ... (UIN: BLL01001094690). From 1913-1922 the title was The Quarterly Army List for the quarter ending.. (UIN: BLL01001094691). The Quarterly Army List was also published July 1940-Dec. 1950 (UIN: BLL01001094682). From 1923-1950 the title was The Half-Yearly Army List for the half-year ending ... (UIN: BLL01001094692)

At the National Archives, Kew WO 66 1879-1900 War Office: Printed Quarterly Army Lists. In addition the Library of TNA lists editions for 1901 July and 1902 January. However, none of the editions appear to have been digitised by TNA.

The Quarterly Army Lists in the table following are on Archive.org, from the collection of the National Library of Scotland. They are also available on the website of the NLS, as 1913-1919 - Quarterly Army List with transcriptions available, together with a Search facility.

Many Monthly Army Lists are available from 1920, see next section.

The National Library of Scotland at Archive.org has editions from December 1938 to December 1946 - enter "Army List" in search box. They are also available on the website of the NLS, with transcriptions available, together with a Search facility, as 1938-1941 - Half-yearly Army List and 1940-1946 - Quarterly Army List. Note Monthly Army Lists are available from 1937 on the NLS website, see next section.

For later years The Army List Yearly editions at Archive.org, currently broken range from 1949. It would appear that from 2010 the annual Army List (Part I) has been delivered electronically and is termed the E-Army List. [3]

Findmypast, pay website, contains a database "British Army, Army Lists 1839-1946"[1] and a related Browse database (located in Armed Forces & Conflict/Directories & Almanacs), with Lists from December 1938 to December 1946, (and WW1, and earlier years as detailed above).

Ancestry, pay website, contains a database "UK, British Army Lists, 1882-1962"[4] of transcriptions only, with the images on the associated pay website fold3, "British Army Lists" [5], which contains details of the years covered, including 1922, July, Parts 1 and 2, 1932 November and 1939 November, the latter two possibly Monthly Lists. Note however, for "1932 November" (seen during a free period) the title page, contents and final pages, including Index at the back of the book are missing, and probably similarly for all other volumes. (See next section for Monthly Lists from other sources).

TheGenealogist, pay website Gold and (higher) Diamond subscriptions have access to Army Lists[6], including Lists for 1920, 1923, 1929, 1932 but it is unclear whether these are transcriptions only or include images.

Army Lists may be purchased by download, including for 1922-August; 1923- January; 1926-December; 1930-January; 1933-December.[7] Army Lists may be purchased on CD or by download, including for 1920-February (possibly a Monthly List), 1923-June, 1929, 1932. [8]

Monthly Army List

Monthly Army List was an official War Office publication, which commenced August 1881 under this title and ceased after May 1940. (No issues published for Dec. 1897 and Jan. 1898).

Based on library catalogues, Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford, and the National Library of Scotland may have the best collections. The British Library holds a broken range of editions from October 1881 (UIN: BLL01013821218), and another holding at the BL as part of IOR/L/MIL/1/79-1536, the latter to July 1940. The National Archives also holds Monthly Lists which are part of the Library collection[9], however the date range is unclear. The National Army Museum appears to hold a limited number of editions before and after the WW1 period. Some libraries may hold editions on microfiche. As an example, the National Library of Australia holds two editions of The Army List on microfiche published by M M Publications Lidgate, [England]

For at least some war periods a Confidential or "Security Edition" was also published with known editions August 1939 (available online) and September 1939, and it seems possible that Monthly Lists may have been continued after May 1940, to 1943, solely on a Confidential basis.[10]

Note the Monthly Army List was a continuation of earlier monthly publications. A private Monthly Army List appeared between 1798 and 1808, succeeded in January 1809 by the monthly publication The Army List published with official sanction, which was made an official publication in 1854. The Army List is available at the British Library with given date range 1809-1881. UIN: BLL01013821246 . There is also another holding at the BL as part of IOR/L/MIL/1/79-1536, from January 1817.

Quarterly indexes (Jan, Apr, Oct) appeared from April 1868 to October 1873, replaced by monthly indexes from February 1874, and a separate quarterly Retired List with its own index appeared from October 1881 to October 1897. Between May 1915 and April 1917 a separate monthly supplement of promotions, appointments and casualties was issued, becoming quarterly from July 1917 to April 1920. A separate half-yearly (Jun, Dec) supplement of the Reserve and Territorial Forces, rewards, undisposed balances etc. was issued between December 1923 and December 1938.[11]

Monthly Army Lists contain a great deal of information, including details of location of regiments and the Royal Artillery, both under individual regiments, but also in a section "Commands of the Army", where the information is listed geographically (example for 1927 September (Archive.org), commencing page 18), for both UK and overseas Commands, including for India, generally listed under East Indies, which may also include Burma and Aden. Ceylon is listed under Dominions, Colonies and Protectorates etc. This information is generally not available during war time and perhaps some other periods, including editions in early years, which also lack Contents pages.

Digitised editions:

  • Google Books editions. Elsewhere it has been stated there is an almost complete range of online editions for the period August 1920 to December 1936, (missing December 1928, Jan.-Feb. 1936) but the following are those which have been located. Note, many of the digital files contain two, or sometimes three volumes, the second/third volume is followed by the letters sdf meaning same digital file. Most of the volumes are from Stanford University, with many from Oxford University from 1815 including 1881-1885, and some from New York Public Library NYPL. For some periods it may be possible to locate two different digital copies. Some files are badly scanned, some to the extent of being unreadable, so Searching may to be unsuccessful. Generally there is a Table of Contents near the front of each print volume, and an Index of Names at the back of each print volume (although for some years the Index is at the front of the volume).
There may be additional digital files which have not been located by the Google Search to date.
Some of the following Google Books links may not be permanent, particularly for 2nd or 3rd-12th books in one digital file. For this reason, and for a book reader which many consider easier to use, you may wish to access the digital book files in the following collection on the Internet Archive, Archive.org
Most of the following Google Books files have been uploaded to The Monthly Army List Collection at the Internet Archive, for the years the years 1815-1936. Note, searchable as a Collection, subject to underlying clarity of the scanned text.
  • In mid September 2016, the National Library of Scotland released its digitised collection of Monthly Army Lists which cover the periods 1914-1919 and 1937-1940. As mentioned above, temporary officers and territorial officers are only to be found in the Monthly Army Lists. At least during the First World War, only the Monthly Lists cover the officers in “battalion order”.[12]
Update: Also includes 1913.
