'The Army Isn't All Work'

Physical Culture and the Evolution of the British Army, 1860-1920

Beschreibung

This book documents the origins and development of formal physical training in the late Victorian Army and the ways in which the Army's gymnastic training evolved into a vital building block of the process of turning a civilian into a fighting man. It also assesses the nature and extent of British military sport, particularly regimental sports, during this period of evolution for the Army.
