Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Principles of Army Organisation as Applied to English Army Service: With a Short Reply to Sir Arthur to Pamphlet on Army Organisation In 1870 the English Army estimates were about 14,000,000l. a year, and were then by many people considered enormous. In 1896-97, they were 18.000.000l. In another two years, when the proposal of the Government to add 25,000 men to the Army with the colours will have been carried out, they will probably reach 20,000,000l. a year, that is, in little more than a quarter of a century the expenditure on the British Army will have increased by nearly 50 per cent. Yet whenever there arises a difficulty or complication with any great European power, we are always told by its newspapers that we have no Army. Practically we admit the fact Whenever it is possible to avoid responsibilities on land we avoid them, however important it may be for the interests of the country that they should be undertaken.
