C.—MAJORS COMMANDING BATTALIONS.

Note.—Up to 1711, the Regiment contained only one Major; another was then appointed, the senior having the rank of First Major, the junior, Second Major. This distinction was abolished by authority, dated September 11, 1821 (ante, p. 86), and the new rule applied retrospectively to the promotion that took place in July of that year. The Senior Major, however, still commanded the 1st Battalion, and the junior the 2nd Battalion. In 1864, this system was discontinued, and Majors were definitely posted to the Battalions they were appointed to command (ante, p. 307).

In the following list, First and Second Majors are indicated by F and S respectively; Senior and Junior Majors by sen and jun; Officers posted definitely to Battalions have the number 1st or 2nd entered against their names, to show which Battalion they commanded.
