Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the military life of HRH George, Duke of Cambridge, from 1871 to 1904 and his impact on the British Army. The abolition of the purchase system, reforms in short service depots, and the link battalion system are discussed in detail, along with their impact on the army. The author sheds light on the difficulties faced by the Duke as commander-in-chief during the abolition of the purchase system and explores how the Duke successfully navigated these challenges. The Eastern Question of 1875-78, the stir caused by the Bulgarian atrocities, and the policies of Gladstone's Liberal government at the time are examined in-depth. The author also discusses the wars in Afghanistan and South Africa, as well as the Boer War, with a focus on the Duke's role in these conflicts. Through vivid accounts of events and expert analysis, the author explores how the Duke of Cambridge shaped the British Army during a time of immense change and modernization.
