British WW1 Soldier

British infantry during the First World War evolved from a small professional army into a much larger force sustained by volunteers and conscription. Soldiers fought on the Western Front and in several other theaters. Trench warfare encouraged new combinations of rifles, grenades, light machine guns, mortars, and artillery support, with tactical organization changing substantially between 1914 and 1918. The army’s learning process was costly and uneven, involving changes in training, staff work, communications, and the coordination of supporting arms. Infantry had to cross exposed ground, occupy trenches, and hold positions against counterattacks. Their experience cannot be reduced to one uniform tactic repeated unchanged from the opening battles through the final offensives.
