Footnote N:
In 1816 the Rl. Waggon Train took up a new position in the _Army
List_, viz., after the cavalry and newly-raised corps, the “Staff
Corps of Cavalry,” so called to distinguish it from the “Royal Staff
Corps,” which followed in the wake of the Rifle Brigade. The Waggon
Train was reduced about twenty years after Waterloo, and after the
Crimean War a corps called “The Military Train” sprung into existence,
which, like its predecessor, was chiefly officered by old soldiers who
had won their commissions while serving in the ranks. The Military
Train was reduced in its turn, and “The Army Service Corps” may be
said to be its present equivalent.
