     The Yeomanry are presented in alphabetical order by county, as there was apparently no established precedence at the time.

     The Militia are listed in order of precedence as established in 1833. The last order of Militia precedence set in 1855 is shown in the right-hand column. Numbers were considered a subsidiary title, never to be used without the county title.

Notes:
1. The Monmouthshire Militia took precedence at the end of the Militia, but shared the same number as the Brecknockshire Militia from which it had separated in 1820. In the 1855 renumbering this was corrected to give Monmouthshire the earlier precedence (31st) and place Brecknockshire near the end (132nd).
