Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the British Army I have endeavoured in the space at my disposal to Show how the British Army has grown up. I have tried merely to tell a story, and therefore omitted much that might have been said regarding the noble work the Queen's Army h'as done. As regards the opinions advanced, I have always, as far as possible, given the reasons for my views and the authorities which induced me to form them. I have adhered to the principle of using the old regi mental numbers, for the sake of continuity; though, after the date when these were altered, I have, in most cases, added their present territorial titles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Army From Within At the best, there is much in the work that a soldier is called on to do which is beyond his under standing, in the first years Of his service. One consequence Of this is that he learns to do things without questioning their meaning, and thus acquires a habit Of obeying; this, up to a few years ago, was the Object Of military training to instil into the soldier unquestioning Obedience to orders, and the sentence Obedience is the first duty Of the soldier, gained currency and labelled the soldier as a mere cog in a great machine, one whose duty lay in obeying as did that Roman sentinel at Pompeu. One Of the chief lessons Of the South African war, however, was that such Obedience was no longer the first duty Of the soldier; he must Obey, no less than before, but scientific warfare demands an understanding Obedience, and not the unquestioning, die-at-his post fidelity of Old time. The recruit Of to-day must be taught not only to Obey, but to understand, and by that fact the work Of his instructors, and his own work as well, are largely increased.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul and Body of an Army The Armies thus differ more typically than their nation, but where an Army is based upon voluntary service it may be conceded that it represents that part of the nation which has responded to a high appeal, and in so responding has left the residue below par. Our British Army was the pick of the nation (speaking broadly), and the balance (still speaking broadly) consisted of its leavings. The whole of the young virility of town and country-side flows into the ranks, and so, in war, an Army becomes dominant to the civilian crowd left at home, who are, in Mendelian phrase, recessive. The impact of the opinion of a Victoriously returning Army upon the people who had remained behind should produce the same result as the impact of a black bull upon a red heifer: i.e. The black or dominant colour should appear in the calf, or post-war policy, although that calf may carry in it the factors, the germs, the potentialities, of reasserting in time to come a recessive character or colour.

It is full of interest to all: during the eight centuries that have rolled away Since the Norman Conquest, this country has under gone such changes, that its history appears like the fiction of the romancer; neither can we attain to any consummation or resting-place, for events as fitful and remarkable as any that have passed are still in progress, our armaments are even now in a state of transition, 'brown Bess is converted into a Snider, our wooden walls into iron plates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Army, Vol. 2: Its Origin, Progress, and Equipment It has already been shown how, under the feudal system, provision was made for the supply of armed men for the service of the State; and that, from the time of Edward I., every man, from the age of fifteen to sixty, who possessed 15 in land and forty marks in goods, was to provide a hauberk of iron, a sword, a knife, and a horse; up to the 4th of Philip and Mary, when all temporal persons, having estates of and upwards, were directed to keep sir horses, or geldings, for demi-lances, and ten light horses, or geldings, for light horsemen. As the most important forces in early days con sisted of cavalry, SO we find that the old chroniclers Often Speak of men-at-arms only in enumerating the combatants in an engagement; or, in describing the numerical Strength of cavalry in different armies, they estimate it according to the amount of pennons and banners.(1) There are abundant instances of this enumeration in Froissart but as these represented uncertain and varying numbers, it is always a difficult matter to arrive at an accurate computation of the strength of armies in the field.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Army, Vol. 6 Spain was the next power to feel the Emperor's dis pleasure. Godoy s overtures to England became known to him at Berlin; and though, in deference to the abject apology of the Prince of the Peace, no serious notice was taken of them, yet from that moment Napoleon vowed to destroy, In his own good time, the Spanish branch of the house of Bourbon. Meanwhile he summoned the Spanish fleet to Toulon, sent five and-twenty thousand Prussian prisoners to Spain to be subsisted at Spanish expense and, as a measure of prudence, ordered fifteen thousand of the best Spanish troops to march to the Elbe. We shall shortly meet with these troops again, first on the Baltic and later during Sir John Moore's retreat on Coruna, for they formed the corps which is best remembered by the name of its commander, Marquis de la Romana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Generals of the British Army The part of their story that is concerned in this war is memorable, and may we not say it, memorably fine P For these are not the leaders of that vast host whose shadow has hung over Europe for so many years, whose numbers and efficiency have been the evil dream of the international situation but of that small contingent that, for an ideal, took the field light-heartedly, against the vast German horde. Even the Belgian army was more numerous than the Expeditionary Force that struck its first blow before Mons and these leaders have memories of the days when it was the equal in nothing, save undaunted courage and tactical ability, of the army in whose path it stood. They have seen every type of fighting. The war of movements with its swift changes and long hazards was their first experience, an experience that none of those who took part in it will ever forget. For some terrible days the British army stood between the Allies and disaster but the experience it bought was handed on to the enemy in a series of engagements, the lesson of which he softens by proclaiming the first seven divisions to have been unique. The admission is sufficientlyfighting ability from the tide which threatened to overwhelm them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
