Military ranks

Posted by Hilary on January 05, 1998 at 15:58:52:

A few questions:

What were the ranks of the English military in the early 1800's? Could anyone list them for me, esp. Colonel and below? Also, about how long would it take to get from one rank to the next? If you were a Colonel, at about thirty years of age, what would you have been about seven years before that, when you were twenty-three?

I hope I haven't stated my question too unclearly. Any help would be very much appreciated. ;-)
