Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Numbering over five million men, Britain's army in the First World War was the biggest in the country's history. Remarkably, nearly half those men who served in it were volunteers. 2,466,719 men enlisted between August 1914 and December 1915, many in response to the appeals of the Field-Marshal Lord Kitchener. How did Britain succeed in creating a mass army, almost from scratch, in the middle of a major war ? What compelled so many men to volunteer ' and what happened to them once they had taken the King's shilling ? Peter Simkins describes how Kitchener's New Armies were raised and reviews the main political, economic and social effects of the recruiting campaign. He examines the experiences and impressions of the officers and men who made up the New Armies. As well as analysing their motives for enlisting, he explores how they were fed, housed, equipped and trained before they set off for active service abroad. Drawing upon a wide variety of sources, ranging from government papers to the diaries and letters of individual soldiers, he questions long-held assumptions about the 'rush to the colours' and the nature of patriotism in 1914. The book will be of interest not only to those studying social, political and economic history, but also to general readers who wish to know more about the story of Britain's citizen soldiers in the Great War.

Tells the story of Kitchener who dutifully accepted the War Ministry for a period of three years and made the unsurprising discovery that he had inherited neither an army nor the means of creating one. Yet having called for 100,000 volunteers, he got by the time of his death over 3,000,000.

Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl of Khartoum and of Broome, was Britain's last great military hero, a legend in his own time, and in ours. His face became known to millions before his death in 1916 because it appeared on the recruiting posters of World War I over the caption 'Your Country Needs You', part of a campaign he'd been called upon to undertake in order to build up the British Army for World War I. ... Kitchener's ambition was all for his country, and his travels as surveyor for the army in many foreign countries had made him believe that British influence was good, and that the strengthening and extension of the British influence was essential for world harmony. It was a crowning moment when he was asked to return to Britain as Secretary of State of War. ... His untimely death in 1916 .. stunned the nation. In this lucid and exceptionally readable book, written with the full consent of Kitchener's family, Philip Warner tells a story ... of a man who had an astonishingly highly developed sense of duty, even for a Victorian; who enjoyed popularity, yet never sought it; and whose self-discipline, instilled in him very early on, never left him, even in the moments before his tragic death.--Book jacket.
