26 DORSET VOLUNTEERS DURING THE FRENCH WARS. 



Col. Sir William Watts (Proceedings, vol. xxxii., p. 70), 

 who quoted a few extracts from a printed Army List of 

 1803, but did not carry his researches beyond that year. 

 The other article was written jointly by Major J. A. Stephens 

 and myself in May, 1910, for the Wesscx Divisional Journal, a 

 magazine which is now extinct. Our object was to stimulate 

 recruiting for the Territorials in Somerset and Dorset by publish- 

 ing a list of towns and villages in the two counties where corps 

 had been raised in former days.

 muster rolls is arranged in alphabetical order of place names,
