Description

Explore the evolution of the British Army through David French's iconoclastic study, Military Identities: The Regimental System, the British Army, and the British People c. 1870-2000. Published by Oxford University Press, this book examines how the regimental system served as the foundation of the British military for three hundred years. This research tracks how the system was refashioned in the late nineteenth century and reinvented to meet changing military roles. By utilizing official papers, private documents, and personal reminiscences, the author provides a deep look into the connection between the army and the British people. The study draws from the National Archives, regimental museums, and various collections to challenge common assumptions held by both supporters and critics of the system.
