Welcome to the British military history task force. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the main military history talk page, or you can directly approach one of the task force participants below. The coordinators responsible for maintenance and general housekeeping are Shimgray, Ranger Steve and Joe N. Scope This task force includes the military history of the United Kingdom, as well as the military histories of its component states (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) in the period before its formation. It also covers earlier military affairs in the same location, such as Roman Britain and the Anglo-Saxon principalities. Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding British-task-force=yes to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:British military history task force articles.

• search the London Gazette. You should be able to find the official record of commissioning and promotion for all officers in British service from 1665 on, + some info on secondment to non-regimental duties (e.g. staff appointments), official letters and despatches (in earlier conflicts, these are often published more or less contemporaneously, in the case of WWII, official despatches weren't published until the late 1940s). Prior to approx 1997 the pdfs have been created by scanning the original paper copies, and then using OCR to generate searchable text, so you're not 100% guaranteed to find what you're looking for. It's worth trying various combinations of full name, initials + surname, and for more recent issues, service number. {{LondonGazette}} can be used to provide consistent formatting, and ease future maintenance of references.
