FRACCION 22, GENERALES JEFES, Y OFICIALES DEL EJERCITO. 
(Generals, Chiefs, and Officials of the Army.) 
This section contains some 5000 expedientes of a personal nature relative 
to military officers, from 1821 to the present. There is given in them such 
data as enlistment, promotions, furloughs, medals, offenses, discharge, etc. 
The section was extinguished in July, 1896, and the documents correspond- 
ing are now kept in the different departments of the Secretariat. 
About 100 expedientes are called “ Personal procedente del Deposito de 
Gefes y Oficiales ”. They are here on deposit, but are to be distributed to the 
various “ cuerpos”’. About another one hundred legajos are called “ Marina, 
Personal de Generales, Jefes, Oficiales””. These are arranged alphabetically. 
Another group of legajos contains expedientes on “ Personal de Ingenieros ”’. 
The expedientes of some of the higher officers are in the archive of the 
Estado Mayor (q. v.). 
An indice of all the expedientes of this section is kept in book form, and 
fills several large volumes. To get permission to consult this section is rela- 
tively difficult. I requested it only in a few cases, and therefore can not give 
a list of the contents. As examples, I looked up the following: 
Expediente of Pedro Ampudia. About 200 ff. 
Expediente of Pedro Elias Bean. Fracciédn 2%. B. Legajo 28. About 
40 ff., giving his personal record from I81Io.
