I was wondering roughly how many people were members of military services in Britain during the later Victorian era, and had no luck finding any information on the subject online, apart from the following information on the Wikipedia article on the British army during the Victorian era:
Cavalry
The cavalry consisted of:
3 Household Cavalry Regiments
7 Dragoon Guard Regiments
4 Dragoon Regiments
4 Light Dragoon Regiments
4 Hussar Regiments
4 Lancer Regiments
[...]
Infantry
In 1855, the infantry consisted of:
3 Foot Guard Regiments
3 Fusilier Regiments
8 Light Infantry Regiments
7 Highland Infantry Regiments
79 Line Infantry Regiments
2 Rifle Regiments
[...]
Though I have no clue as to how many people were in a regiment.
How were the British military forces organised and how many people did that amount to?
