IN HIS ARMY REFORMS OF 1906/07, THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR,
RICHARD BURDON HALDANE, PROVIDED FOR AN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE: THE
REGULAR ARMY SUPPLEMENTED BY THE OLD MILITIA AND A NEW ORGANISATION
INTENDED FOR HOME DEFENCE, THE TERRITORIAL FORCE.
This new 'Citizen's Army' was formed by the transfer of the Honourable
Artillery Company, Imperial Yeomanry and Volunteer Force, all with
many years of service and tradition. At the outbreak of war, the
Territorial Force was organised as per the Regular Army, with infantry
battalions, artillery, engineers, supply and medical formations.
This book takes a highly detailed and illustrated look at the badges
and uniforms and the changing organisation of the British Territorial
units during the Great War. It also covers the combat experiences of
the men who soon found themselves in service overseas, in the thick of
the fighting.
