From 1859 to 1908 the Rifle Volunteers played an essential role in Britain's national defence, yet their history has been sadly neglected. Little information is available on these dedicated, amateur soldiers who were recruited into the ranks of a military organization that flourished across the country. But now, in this invaluable book, Ray Westlake, a leading authority on the military history of Victorian and Edwardian Britain, provides a concise accessible introduction to the Rifle Volunteers and a comprehensive directory of the units raised in each county and each town. AUTHOR: Ray Westlake has an established reputation as a military historian specializing in the British army of late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He has made a particular study of the Great War.
