The Regular Cavalry and Royal Armoured Corps of the British Army

The Regiments until 1751

Up to 1751 all regiments were named after their colonels. From already around 1690 the order of precedence of the regiments was fixed by giving them a ranking. In 1751 using the names of colonels was aborted and all regiments were henceforth known by their erstwhile ranking. In this table the ranking is used as if it were the title of the regiments before 1751.
