Making the Georgian Army

A comprehensive study of the British Army in the Eighteenth Century, Dr Tony Hayter's Making The Georgian Army examines every aspect of military experience through an eighty-year period. Exploring both the day-to-day life of individual soldiers and the development of the army as an institution, the text gives full accounts of how the army of the time was recruited, quartered, clothed, fed, supplied, paid, transported, armed, trained, disciplined and (occasionally) pensioned. Includes material on the broader social life of the soldier, the career pattern of the officer, and the relations between the army and civil society.
