Description
Explore the fascinating history of organized sport within the British Armed Forces from 1880 to 1960. This book by Cambridge University Press examines how sports played a vital role in the lives of officers and all ranks across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. From the battleships and the trenches of the Western Front to the Desert War, British servicemen and women maintained athletic traditions in the most challenging environments. The text highlights the importance of sport, noting that in 1946, a survey of 400 soldiers in Burma found that 108 ranked sport as their favorite aspect of Army life, placing it ahead of leave and comradeship. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this historical study tracks the development of organized sport from the Victorian era through the mid-20th century.
