	New Model Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Already, the Army was viewed by some Presbyterians as a hotbed of Independents, a potentially dangerous situation given that Parliament's agreement with the Scottish Covenanters stipulated that Presbyterianism was to be made the established Church in England.
		Prince Rupert of the Rhine, an archetypal cavalier and a prominent general in the army of King Charles I, gave the New Model troops their nickname of Ironsides.
		But in the end the New Model Army regiments which had been garrisoning Scotland under the command of General George Monck were able to march on London, overseeing the Crowning of Charles II, without significant opposition from the regiments under other Generals, in particular those of Charles Fleetwood and John Lambert.

	APPENDIX I: BRITISH BORDER OPERATIONS IN GERMANY
		The British area of responsibility along the eastern interzonal boundary ran from Luebeck on the Baltic south to Goettingen, approximately 660 kilometers or 410 miles.
		By 1964 the British Army was patrolling along the border once a week in the southern portion of the former British-Soviet interzonal boundary, its major area of operations; however, it did not conduct any patrols at all in Schleswig-Holstein, where there were no British units.
		By 1970 the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) had further reduced its operations and was conducting mere token patrols, which consisted of each BAOR division covering a sector of the border once a month.

	Reflections on Army Culture
		Army officers at every level of command are taking decisions concerning their responsibilities at all times, and they should certainly be encouraged to do so.
		Higher the officer casualties in an Army, the greater is the valour of its troops and the superiority of its military culture.
		Army culture and its rich heritage spanning periods of peace and war help the team spirit and esprit de corps which are essential for victory in battle.

		The British Army did not exist as a separate entity before the Act of Union of 1707 which united English and Scotland, but its origins date back to the aftermath of the English Civil War.
		Before the Civil War, the army was raised as required by the King, who would warrant gentlemen to raise companies, this being a direct throwback to the feudal concept of fief where a lord had to raise a certain quota of knights, men at arms and yeomanry.
		The British Army of the Rhine was formed to control British formations in West Germany.

		BAOR was the main peacetime element of the British Army from the end of the Second World War until 1994, with the bulk of the Army based in Germany prepared to counter aggressive Soviet armoured attacks.
		BAOR was disbanded on 28th October 1994 with the Prince of Wales paying final tribute to the Army, as a parade of soldiers from the Queen's Dragoon Guards and the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment lifted their caps and roared three cheers for the Prince as he took the last salute from the troops.
		As well as the members of the Armed Forces, there was also a British civilian presence in Germany with spouses and families living in dozens of small British townships, with their streets named after members of the Royal family and they were sprawled across the northern plains and the fringes of the Ruhr.
