Boer War to World War: Tactics and Training in the British Army 1902 - 1914 | Spencer Jones
This talk by Dr Spencer Jones was delivered 'live' to an online audience. In this presentation Spencer looks at the tactics of the British Army between the end of the Boer War and the start of the Great War.
Rudyard Kipling reflected in his poem 'The Lesson' how the hard-fought Boer War (1899-1902) had provided 'no end of a lesson' for the British Army. Between 1902 and 1914 these lessons would shape the Army's approach to future conflict. Although not without controversy, this era of reform gave the army crucial skills that would prove their worth in 1914 - and beyond.
