A patriotic and rousing look at the history of the British Army, its soldiers and its place in modern society.

Published in the closing months of the Second World War, The British Army by Lt. Col. Graham Seton Hutchinson, DSO, MC, with a foreword by Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery, GCB, DSO, is both a concise history and a morale building tribute to Britain's land forces. Hutchinson, a decorated First World War officer, military theorist, and prolific author, brings a soldier's insight to his account of the Army's traditions, organisation, and fighting spirit at a moment when victory in Europe was within reach. The book traces the Army's development from its regimental origins through centuries of adaptation, culminating in the modern mechanised force of the 1940s. Hutchinson explains the regimental system's enduring value, the importance of discipline and training, and the qualities of leadership that inspire men in battle. He examines the Army's performance in key theatres of the Second World War, from the deserts of North Africa to the campaigns in Italy, Normandy, and beyond, showing how flexibility, morale, and cooperation with Allied forces contributed to success. Montgomery's foreword situates the work firmly in 1945, acknowledging the Army's sacrifices and achievements while looking ahead to its role in post war stability. His endorsement lends weight to Hutchinson's portrayal of the Army as a cornerstone of national identity and a guarantor of Britain's security. Illustrated with black and white photographic plates and line drawings, the book offers visual glimpses of uniforms, equipment, and soldiers in action. Hutchinson also touches on the Army's social fabric: the camaraderie of the mess, the bonds within regiments, and the quiet professionalism of soldiers in both war and peace. He reflects on the Army's imperial responsibilities, its cooperation with Commonwealth and Allied troops, and the lessons learned from two global conflicts. Written under wartime conditions and restrictions, the text carries the tone of its time?patriotic, confident, and intended to inspire. It is as much a piece of wartime communication as it is a historical survey, blending fact with a sense of purpose aimed at reinforcing public pride and support for the armed forces. Today, The British Army stands as a period piece that captures the mindset of Britain in 1945. It offers modern readers a window into mid 20th century military thought, the values held by its officers, and the image of the Army that leaders wished to project at the war's end. For collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of military history, it provides both a succinct overview of the Army's structure and ethos and a tangible connection to the era in which it was written.
