Bold reforms for Britain’s military future
In The Amalgamation of the British Army, Robert G. Webster outlines a concrete plan to streamline and strengthen the nation’s defense. It argues for merging regular and reserve forces to create a more capable, cost-effective system ready for peace and war alike.
This edition lays out the rationale, the system changes, and practical steps to reorganize manpower, costs, and training. It weighs ballots, volunteering, and substitutions while aiming to keep the country secure with a leaner, better-organized force.
- an integrated Regular, Reserve, and Volunteer structure designed to improve efficiency

Ideal for readers of military history and policy, this work offers a clear, thoughtfully argued blueprint for reform and national defense strategy.
