Volume
XIII 1852 - 1870
This volume includes the Crimean
War, the War in Persia and the Indian Mutiny and the campaign
in China. It then goes on to look at the Ambela and Abyssinian
campaigns, and the Wars in New Zealand. Finally Fortescue
looks at affairs in Great Britain and the position of
the East India Company. He then turns his attention to
the new army from 1870 to 1914, and includes the territorial
system, the new social engineering going on for men’s
welfare in the army, The series ends however with an important
look at the end of the era of purchase, and what the army
was going to do next.
