Colonel Mark
Grimes to be Governor of Cardiff Overton was Governor of Hall as well
as Colonel of a Foot-Regiment; and Alured had charge of the
Life-Guard of the House and the Council at Westminster,—­All these
appointments were actually made; other colonelcies probably stood
over for consideration.—­In the Journals Lambert is styled
“Major-General Lambert,” but that was only by courtesy.  He had no
commission with that title; and Ludlow makes a point of marking this
by always calling him “Colonel Lambert” only.  His distinction was in
holding two colonelcies together, one of Foot and one of Horse.

II.  FOR SERVICE IN SCOTLAND:—­Here, probably because of Monk’s passive resistance, the reorganization was less completely carried out; but the intention seems to have been that Monk, though in courtesy he might still be called “General Monk,” should have only, by actual commission, the same distinction of double colonelcy that Lambert had in England.  He had a Regiment of Foot and also one of Horse; and among the other Colonels were, or were to be, Thomas Talbot (at Edinburgh), Timothy Wilkes (at Leith), Ralph Cobbet (at Glasgow), Roger Sawrey (at Ayr), Charles Fairfax (at Aberdeen), Thomas Read (at Stirling, with John Clobery for his Lieutenant-Colonel), Henry Smith (at Inverness), John Pierson (at Perth), the veteran Thomas Morgan of Flanders celebrity (a Dragoon Regiment), and Philip Twistleton (a Horse Regiment).  One or two of these were substitutions for officers whom Monk preferred.

II.  IRELAND.

Commander-in-Chief:  LIEUTENANT-GENERAL EDMUND LUDLOW.

Ludlow, after having been commissioned to an English Colonelcy of Foot, was removed to this higher post, in succession to Henry Cromwell, July 4, not with the title of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, but with the military title of “Lieutenant-General of Horse.”  For the Civil Government of Ireland there were associated with him, under the title of Commissioners, Colonel John Jones, William Steele, Robert Goodwyn, Colonel Matthew Tomlinson, and Miles Corbet.  Ludlow did not go to Ireland till late in July or early in August; and he had stipulated, in accepting the Irish command-in-chief, that he should be at liberty to return to England on occasion.

Probably because Ludlow’s recommendations from Ireland were waited for, fewer commissions were actually issued for Ireland than for England and Scotland.  Ludlow himself, with Lambert and Monk, had the distinction of a Colonelcy of Horse and one of Foot together; and other Colonels appointed were Thomas Cooper, Richard Lawrence, Alexander Brayfield, Thomas Sadler, and Henry Markham, for Foot-Regiments, and Jerome Zanchy, Peter Wallis, and Daniel Axtell, for Horse-Regiments.  Sir Hardress Waller, Sir Charles Coote, Theophilus Jones, and others to be heard of in Ludlow’s memoirs, were still on duty in their old Colonelcies when he arrived in Ireland.
