Now that the Army is practically the Nation, and there is scarcely a family some members of which are not serving with the Colours, this favourite volume is in greater demand than ever.  By general consent it gives a better idea of life in the British Army, both in Peace and War, than any other book of its kind.  The numerous pictures represent every side of Army life and all branches of the Service.  The Defence Forces of the Empire are also described, and there are interesting accounts of the great Allied Armies, including that of the United States.  The book is a veritable mine of entertainment and instruction, both for young people and their seniors.
