Glossary of
British Empire Military Abbreviations
There is no single source - no one book, web site or paper
- that lists all of the thousands of military abbreviations and acronyms
in use during the time that the Lee-Enfield rifle was in active production,
1888 - 1976. Regiments contracted and expanded, countries
were born, changed names, came and went. Our focus is on regiments
and unit organization, not chain-of-command. As we encounter the acronymns
or other useful terms in our research we will post them as time allows.
Whenever
practical the
far right column will include the source information.
