To be an Officer and a Gentleman — 2 Comments

  1. Thanks for this very useful explanation of the difference between the militia and the regular arny. I often wondered how George Wickham could afford to be an officer.

  2. I had a nose around but couldn’t find the other article referenced here (“These men are members of the militia, not the regular army (discussed in the last post.)”)
    Not sure if you still see comments here, but wondering if you could tell me if you think Col Fitzwilliam was in the regulars or Militia? If in the regulars, how was it that he had time for leisure to visit Mr Darcy and Lady Catherine? Trying to research this for a short story. Thank you!
