The Edwardian Army: Recruiting, Training, and Deploying the British Army, 1902-1914

The Edwardian Army: Recruiting, Training, and Deploying the British Army, 1902-1914 Questions the general assumption that the British army which set sail for France in August 1914 was the best prepared force ever despatched from the British isles. Reveals instead that the army was by no means as well prepared for European continental warfare as many have presumed.
