The Militia Infantry of the British Army

The county precedence of the Militia of England and Wales in the years 1778 - 1782

Regiments of the Militia for the revolutionary war (1793-1802)

Regiments of the Militia for the Napoleonic wars (1803)

In 1803 a new ballot for the order of precedence of the counties was drawn intended to be valid until the end of the war. It in fact remained valid until 1833.
The counties of England, Wales and Scotland were now numbered in one list.
There was no new ballot in Ireland and apart from a few changes that list was the same as before.

The numbers in the first column show the order of precedence of the county.
