    4. The title of the top soldier in the Victorian Army was altered slightly with the accession
      of the Duke of Cambridge from ‘Commander-in-Chief’ to ‘General Commanding in
      Chief.’ Although unfamiliar to some readers, it was none-the-less the title by which
      he was addressed in formal correspondence and the title over which he signed his
      name, so I have chosen to trust him to know who he actually was and use the title
      accordingly.
