=For the Precedency due to the Clergy= a Clergy List should be consulted
when superior preferment or birth does not define it.

* * * * *

=For the Precedency due to Officers= in the army and navy an Army List
and a Navy List should be consulted to determine the precedency due to
each in the separate Services.

* * * * *

=Officers should be sent in to Dinner= according to the dates of
commission, but no branch of the Army takes precedence over the other as
regards rank of officers; that is to say, a colonel of 1901, of say, a
West India regiment, would precede a colonel of Guards, artillery or
cavalry of 1902 promotion. Drawn up on a brigade parade, the cavalry
take the right of the line; thus: Artillery, Royal Engineers, footguards
and regular regiments, regiments and West India regiments, in the order
named in the Army List.

* * * * *

=As regards Precedency between Officers= of the combined Services a
table of "Relative Rank and Precedency in the Army and Navy" should be
consulted, as a captain in the navy after three years' service ranks
with a colonel in the army, a lieutenant of the navy of eight years'
standing ranks with a major in the army, and a lieutenant under that
standing in the navy, ranks with a captain in the army, etc.

Consulate officers also take precedence according to seniority of
service in England and date of official arrival. The Foreign Office List
of the current year should be consulted for date in each instance.

=As regards the Precedence due to Widows= bearing titles who have
married again: The widow of a peer married to a commoner retains her
title by courtesy, and the precedency due to the title is accorded

* * * * *

=When the Widow of a Duke= marries a person of lower rank than that of
her late husband, she still retains her precedency.

* * * * *

=The Daughter of a Peer= if married to a baronet or a commoner retains
her precedency, but if married to a baron her precedency is merged in
that of her husband.

* * * * *

=The Widow of a Baronet= married to a commoner retains her title by
right and not by courtesy.

=The Widow of a Knight= marr
