The Waterloo Roll Call

Editorial note — REGIMENTAL LISTS.

Reading edition

N. In 1816 the Rl. Waggon Train took up a new position in the Army List, viz., after the cavalry and newly-raised corps, the “Staff Corps of Cavalry,” so called to distinguish it from the “Royal Staff Corps,” which followed in the wake of the Rifle Brigade. The Waggon Train was reduced about twenty years after Waterloo, and after the Crimean War a corps called “The Military Train” sprung into existence, which, like its predecessor, was chiefly officered by old soldiers who had won their commissions while serving in the ranks. The Military Train was reduced in its turn, and “The Army Service Corps” may be said to be its present equivalent.
