The Edwardian Army

• Offers a detailed, inside view of the British army from within: ensures a balance from the Whitehall/Command perspective
• Covers the auxiliary forces as well as the professional forces so the British army is understood as a whole

• Provides a comprehensive social and professional history of the army in this period
