Lt.-Gen. Sir Garnet Wolseley commented that history would record the
formation of the Volunteers Movement as one of the most remarkable
events in the century. In this study of the Rifle Volunteer Movement,
the author Ian Beckett has drawn from a wide range of primary source
material such as official, regimental, local and private repositories.
He has been able to put into perspective the Movement within the
structure of the Victorian and Edwardian social, political and
military affairs from its formation in 1859 to its absorption in the
Territorial Force in 1908.
