From 1878 to 1898, all muster rolls and pay lists are in WO 16. From 1888 onwards, the series contains only muster rolls, there are no longer any pay lists and by 1898 muster rolls were no longer kept by the War Office either. There are some difficulties in using WO 16, caused by the re-organisation of the Army in 1881.

Origins. In August 1793, Britain’s war against Revolutionary France was only six months old and the Army was in need of men. That month, Sir Allen Cameron of Erracht raised a regiment in Inverness-shire. Ranked as the 79th Foot, it was composed mainly of volunteers from Cameron’s Highland clan.
The regiment was created in 1881 through the amalgamation of the 72nd (Duke of Albany's Own Highlanders) Regiment of Foot and the 78th (Highlanders) (Ross-shire Buffs) Regiment of Foot, which became the 1st and 2nd battalions of the new regiment, and was part of the Childers Reforms of the British Army.
