Hart's Annual Army List 1915

Book excerpt: This was the last hart s Army List to be published. It lists all officers, including Indian Army Officers, Special Reserves, Territorials and war-time appointments with dates of commission and, in the case of regulars, dates of promotions. All regiments are shown with brief record of service of each British regiment. War services (pre-1914) of officers on the active and retired list are given. The lists also include Reserve of Officers, shown alphabetically by rank, and retired officers. Finally there is a list of deaths, sometimes with place of death, alphabetically by rank; dates of death are not given in the majority of cases (one is shown as 31st September 1914!), but of those given none appears to be later than first week in November. All appointment details given are those held prior to the outbreak of war, thus Haig is shown as Lieut-General GOC in C Aldershot Command with the date of taking up the appointment.
