Note 136 — Chapter VIII · THE ORGANIZATION OF THE ARMY: HEADQUARTERS

For special note as to the functions of the “Staff Corps of Cavalry” raised in March, 1813, see the General Order of that date. This body must be carefully distinguished from the Staff Corps, concerning which see Fortescue’s British Army, iv. p. 881: it was a kind of subsidiary corps of military artificers, independent of the Ordnance Office to which “Royal Military Artificers” belonged. This was a vicious duplication of parallel organizations.
