The Crimean War and campaigns in India had revealed serious administrative and command shortcomings. Cardwell's legislation was aimed at curing these faults and served as the foundation of a new-style army. His successors put into practice further improvements in tactics, training and command structure, and by the outbreak of war in 1914, the British Army had developed into one of the best professional fighting forces in Europe. This book details the development, composition and uniforms of this \"new\" army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Fosten, Robert Marrion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0850452872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780850452877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/1978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.26w x 0.22d","brand":"Donald Fosten","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926640361727,"sku":"9780850452877","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_191c6a84-f41b-4ecf-bd55-fe0287567d34.jpg?v=1681084196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-british-army-1914-18-donald-fosten-9780850452877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
