Conscription in Britain and the Dominions
Paul Cobb
As a result of the Second Boar War the War Office focusses on ways to integrate Dominion military forces with the Army.
As we know the Great War demanded huge numbers of men, well beyond the quantity that voluntary recruiting could obtain. This talk examines how Britain, New Zealand, Canada and Australia tackled the thorny question of compulsory military service
