Original 19th-century copies of Hart's \u003ci\u003eArmy List\u003c\/i\u003e are exceptionally rare and often found in poor condition due to heavy contemporary reference use. As such, these robust, modern facsimile editions are highly sought-after by military historians, genealogists, and collectors for their practical utility and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1840 by Lieutenant-General Henry George Hart, \u003ci\u003eThe New Annual Army List\u003c\/i\u003e fundamentally transformed the recording of British military service by expanding upon the sparse information contained in the official Army Lists. Granted privileged access to official service records, Hart compiled an indispensable, unofficial register of officers serving in the British Army, providing comprehensive biographical details, campaign service records, medals, and promotions that were otherwise unavailable in a single volume. This meticulous reference work covers officers involved in major global conflicts, including Waterloo and the Peninsular War, making it an invaluable primary source for historians, genealogists, and military enthusiasts researching the careers of British Army officers during the early Victorian era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54978217050451,"sku":"5520","price":37.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260915_130925.jpg?v=1789720026","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-new-annual-army-list-with-an-index-corrected-to-7th-february-1840","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
