The 1879 legislation standardised the processes for recording births, deaths, and marriages within the British Army and among British military personnel stationed abroad. It enabled the Registrar General to maintain official registration of these vital events, ensuring legal recognition and administrative efficiency.

This facilitated the management and verification of personal records for soldiers and their families, thereby offering legal protection and recognition of life events regardless of their location due to military service.
