The following meanings of the terms used in the Muster Roll are taken principally from Halliwell's Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words: — 

A Gesturne, Gestrone, or Gessaraunte is a jacket without sleeves, on which were fastened small oblong plates of steel overlapping one another. 

A Jack is a doublet, or defensive garment, padded, and quilted with strips of leather. 

Splents or splints was armour for the arms, where they were left unprotected by the Gesturne or Jack. 

A Salet (French, Salade) was a light steel cap with a projection behind extending over the nape of the neck. 

Harness was any kind of armour, and was not used in the modern contracted sense of the word as referring only to the horse. It probably comprised all kinds of defensible armour, including the Jack, which contained no iron or steel; it also included defensible armour for the horse. 

" Almain rivets " were rivets with elongated holes which admitted of the plates moving one upon the other. Halliwell quotes from " Testamenta Vetusta " : — " My coat of black velvet furred with martens, with six pair of Almain rivets complete with splints, sallets, etc." 

A bill was a pike with a long handle and a spear head with a bill-hook, which was used to drag a man off a horse. In this reign the pike was often 18 feet in length.

MUSTER ROLL, STAFFORDSHIRE. A.D. 1539. 

In 1538, the Emperor Charles V and Francis, the King of France, had made up their differences, and had agreed to a ten years' truce. In the same year, the Pope, Paul IV, had published a Bull excommunicating Henry VIII and deposing him for his heretical opinions, and was endeavouring to induce the two sovereigns above named to put it into execution. The King and his Privy Council were seriously alarmed and ordered a muster to be made of the entire armed force of the kingdom. The levies were never called up, the King, by his diplomacy, having managed to disconcert the project of the Pope. 

Letters Patent appointing Commissioners of Array for each County were issued on the 1st March, 30 H. VIII (1539). Those for Staffordshire were as follows : —

Army Motorcyclists, 1914, by Ted Wildy

The following names have been transcribed from the Army list for January 1851 pages 69 and 70. They pertain to Staff of the Commissariat Department serving in various parts of the British Empire. It is not clear from the original Army List whether the dates quoted are the seniority dates or the dates of appointment.

The ranks of these personnel have had to be abbreviated a bit in order to fit into index. In full they are:-

• Commissaries General
• Deputy Commissaries General
• Deputy Assistant Commissaries General

The Uniform of these personnel is stated to be:-

• "Blue Facings - Black Velvet"

                         ------------------ 
               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'.

                -----------------------------------------
                The following names have been transcribed from the above book
                published in 1968 which had been translated from the French by
                Frances Partridge.
                Napoleon was detained on St Helena from October 1815 until his
                death in May 1821 at the age of 51.
                During this time the British maintained a large garrison on the
                island and a fleet of warships constantly on patrol.:-
                "By day and night the guns were kept manned, the coast patrolled,
                and pickets and sentinels posted. These were provided by the 53rd
                regiment (600 men), the St Helena regiment (600 men)     the 66th
                regiment (700 men), The St Helena artillery (300 men)
                a detachment of the Royal Artillery (60 men) and a troop of
                mounted dragoons (20 men). There wre nearly 500 guns ready for
                action. The Naval Force under a Rear Admiral consisted of the
                flagship HMS Newcastle (60 guns) to guard the port, a frigate kept
                watch on the other approach to the island and two brigs cruised
                one to leeward and one to windward of the island for weeks on end
                without dropping anchor."
                The ships mentioned in the book have been listed separately and
                can be found after the alphabetical listing of the names.
