Recruits and Commissions Expanded Under Fairfax Army
The Commons moved to empower Sir Thomas Fairfax to grant commissions to all officer ranks amid efforts to recruit and retain the army. An ordinance provided for draught horses sourced from multiple counties to support train and artillery, funded by counties and the Affeflements. A 1000 pound advance was approved for Abbington’s service, and mutinous soldiers were reported returned to duty.
