- the rank of captain (captain), who has been in VIII class since 1884, although he has since been titled “Your High Grace”, but continued to be considered an officer officer;
- officers of the guard until the captain (captain), who had seniority against the army by one or two classes, and assigned to the corresponding classes of the Table, nevertheless were not headquarters officers, the rank of officer since the major (since 1798) was considered headquarters officer in the guard only colonels).
