==''Monthly Army List''==
An official War Office publication, which commenced August 1881 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). The National Archives also holds Monthly Lists which are part of the Library collection<ref>David_Underdown. [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/228278-army-list-copies-at-kew/?do=findComment&comment=2273267 Army List - copies at Kew?] ''Great War Forum'' 13 June 2015. Retrieved 9 June 2018.</ref>, however the date range is unclear. The [[National Army Museum]] appears to hold a limited number of editions before and after the WW1 period.
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 List''s may have been continued after May 1940, to 1943, solely on a Confidential basis.<ref>From a comment in the British Library catalogue UIN: BLL01001094682 .</ref>
