Descriptionof Supplying the British Army in the First World War
Manufacturer

Napoleon famously remarked that an army marches on its stomach; yet it marches just as surely in its boots and uniforms, carrying its weapons and other equipmentand all this material must be ordered, produced, and delivered by headquarters. Janet Macdonalds new, detailed, and scholarly study demonstrates how the British Army managed this enormously complex organizational and logistical challenge during the First World War. She describes the personnel who carried out these tasksfrom the government and military leadership in London down to those who handled the material directly in the field. They bore responsibility for clothing, accommodation, medical care, transport, small arms, weaponry, and communicationsa vast logistical network that had evolved to supply millions of soldiers in active service. This meticulously researched account of a significant subjectone hitherto neglected by military historiansconstitutes essential reading and an important reference work for anyone interested in the modern British Army, particularly its organization and operational capabilities during the First World War.
