by Martin J. Brayley (Author)
(Europa Militaria) Paperback – 23 May 2005
The outbreak of WW1 in 1914 found the British Army unready in many respects for a new age of warfare.

British Infantry Equipments: 1908-2000
by Mike Chappell (Author, Illustrator)
The conflict in South Africa from 1899 to 1902 gave the British military establishment reason to effect swift reforms in the period which followed the end of the hostilities. The humiliating defeats suffered at the hands of a comparatively small number of Boer citizen-soldiers in the opening months of the war showed up deficiencies in leadership, training and equipment. In a companion volume to Men-at-Arms 107: British Infantry Equipments 1808-1908, Mike Chappel examines the period from 1908-80 in a text complemented by numerous illustrations including eight full page colour plates by the author himself.
