Between 1869 and 1874, Edward Cardwell, Gladstone's Secretary for
War, undertook major reforms to modernise the British Army. 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.
