BRITISH ARMY 1851. ------------------ The following names have been extracted from the Army List of January 1851 pages 90 & 91. They are listed under the overall heading of "Dock Yard Volunteers". It would seem that most of the Officers were appointed to these posts on 1st June 1848. Their uniforms were stated to be "Blue with Red Facings". I would assume that the "Breakwater Battalion" refers to Plymouth as that is the only one of the naval ports at that time to have a breakwater. The abbreviation (adj) means 'Adjutant'.
