The Right Honourable
''The Right Honourable'' (abbreviation: The Rt Hon. or variations) is an honorific Style (form of address), style traditionally applied to certain persons and collective bodies in the United Kingdom, the former British Empire, and the Commonwealth of Nations. The term is predominantly used today as a style associated with the holding of certain senior public offices in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and, to a lesser extent, Australia. ''Right'' in this context is an adverb meaning 'very' or 'fully'. Grammatically, ''The Right Honourable'' is an adjectival phrase which gives information about a person. As such, it is not considered correct to apply it in direct address, nor to use it on its own as a title in place of a name; but rather it is used in the Grammatical person, third person along with a name or noun to be modified. ''Right'' may be abbreviated to ''Rt'', and ''Honourable'' to ''Hon.'', or both. ''The'' is sometimes dropped in written abbreviated form, but is ...

Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers
The Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers (RNAV, sometimes referred to as the Royal Naval Artillery Reserve) was a British military reserve force between 1873 and 1892. The force absorbed the men of the earlier Royal Naval Coast Volunteers and was intended to provide men to the Royal Navy in time of war. However, unlike the contemporary Royal Naval Reserve, the men of the RNAV did not necessarily have sea-going experience. It proved difficult to find a role for them (proposals that they man torpedo boats were rejected by the Royal Navy) and an 1891 report by Vice Admiral George Tryon recommended that the RNAV be disbanded. This came into effect in April 1892 with members of the RNAV being urged to join the army's Volunteer Force. The unit is considered a predecessor of the more successful Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, founded in 1903. Formation and service The Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers (RNAV) were authorised by the Naval Artillery Volunteer Act 1873 (36 & 37 Vict. c. 77) ...

Dorset Militia
The Dorset Militia was an auxiliary military force in the county of Dorsetshire in South West England.
