O Board of Ordnance era um órgão do governo britânico. Fundado no período Tudor, teve sua sede na Torre de Londres. Suas responsabilidades primárias eram "atuar como custodiante das terras, depósitos e fortes necessários para a defesa do reino e suas possessões no exterior, e como fornecedor de munições e equipamentos para o Exército e a Marinha".[1]
The Ordnance Board was an inter-service body. Initially presided over by the army with a permanent naval vice president, the presidency was rotated between all three services after the inclusion of a vice president (Air) in 1940. The board provided independent authoritative advice on the development and design of weapons, ammunition and explosives.
The Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance [1] was a member of the British Board of Ordnance and the deputy of the Master-General of the Ordnance. The office was established in 1545, and the holder was appointed by the crown under letters patent. It was abolished in 1855 when the Board of Ordnance was subsumed into the War Office .
