Raising and Training the New Armies (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Raising and Training the New Armies "Our Expeditionary Force numbered, at the beginning of the war, 160,000 men. Our Expeditionary Forces to-day number over 3,000,000 - probably the greatest feat of military organization in the history of the world.... The raising and training of our New Army was an unexampled feat, and will always be associated with the name - the great name - of Lord Kitchener." Thus spoke the Prime Minister in moving the vote of thanks from the House of Commons to the officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the British Armies in the Field. The aim of this volume is to give some indication of the way in which we accomplished what the Prime Minister has justly called "the greatest feat of military organization in the history of the world"; how, while fighting with all the trained men we had, we were gradually raising and training the vast armies which have proved as little contemptible in size or achievement as the original expeditionary force was in achievement.

The New Army in Training (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The New Army in Training The ore, the furnace and the hammer are all that is needed for a sword. - Native proverb. This was a cantonment one had never seen before, and the grey-haired military police man could give no help. 'My experience, ' he spoke detachedly. 'is that you'll find everything everywhere Is it any particular corps you're looking for?' 'Not in the least, ' I said. 'Then you're all right. You can't miss getting something.' He pointed generally to the North Camp. 'It's like floods in a town, isn't it?' He had hit the just word. All known marks in the place were submerged by troops. Parade grounds to their utmost limits were crowded with them; rises and sky-lines were furred with them, and the length of the roads heaved and rippled like bicycle-chains with blocks of men on the move.
