About This Book

The author provides an insider survey of the British Army's organization, training, and daily life, explaining recruitment and the shaping of enlisted men, relations between officers and non-commissioned officers, and the roles of infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, and support services. Chapters describe camp routine, musketry and shooting practice, internal economy and administration, and recent reforms emphasizing initiative alongside obedience. Practical descriptions of station life, training cycles, manoeuvres and preparation for active service culminate in discussion of the new army and experiences of campaigning, with attention to the logistical and human factors that determine efficiency.
