I'm trying to locate information on what the different army ranks were for the Mexican Army during the Mexican American War 1846-1848. Does anyone know of any comparison rank charts, web sites, etc that might have this information?

The only luck I have found by google searches is the ranks for todays Mexican Army.

Thanks

From my notes (I thought I had lost these, but found a backup CD :D) :

The abbreviations found in the game are in the US/Mexican columns.

Ranks / US / Mexican
President General / na / Gral-Pte
General of Division / MajGen / Gral de Div
General of Brigade / Bgen / Gral de Bda
Colonel / Col / Corl
Lieutenant Colonel / LtCol / Tte Corl
Major / Maj / Comdte
Captain / Cpt / Capt
Lieutenant / Lt / Tte
Aide-de-Camp / Aide-de-Camp / Ayudante de acampa

Spanish titles and ranks are taken from historical texts of the Mexican Army, and Official Mexican reports. (some shortened to 19 characters or less to fit in unit/leader boxes.)
