	Regiments of the British Army: Overview
		Snapshots of the British Army, in the form of rolls of regiments at various periods in the Army's history, serve to illustrate the evolving continuity and heritage of the regimental system that has been described as both the envy and puzzlement of the rest of the world.
		By 1702 a sense of seniority and precedence across the three establishments was beginning to evolve as Parliament, ever suspicious of the Army, forced major cuts after every war or crisis, and the regiments sought a claim to survival based on seniority.
		The administrative brigades were superceded in 1968 by six divisions, and in 1969 regiments discarded their brigade cap badges and reverted to regimental ones.
