	British Military Records
		Most of the records for the British military are arranged along regimental lines, so the usual starting point is to determine which regiment your ancestor belonged to.
		Details of any previous military service and dates of promotion are also noted, as well as the details of desertion, transfers, discharges, and if applicable, where and when the soldier died.
		In this article on British military records, I've been able to cover several collections and their contents, but by no means have I exhausted the list of such records available for research by genealogists and historians.

	A Military History of Britain — Praeger Security International
		Black begins this concise and comprehensive military history with an overview going back to the Roman invasion of Britain in 55 and 54 B.C.E. The book is organized into three parts: Britain as "imperial parent" (through 1775), as "imperial rival" (1775-1904), and as "imperial partner" (from 1904).
		Black presents new perspectives on his subject (since military history cannot be studied in a vacuum) and thus challenges established assumptions (e.g., that the Crimean failures were owing simply to aging generals).
		His discussion of military history as an interrelated part of the nation's history is most enlightening.

		The value of a properly trained military police force had long been known by 1914, with battles over the previous three decades proving their usefulness, especially in the field of Lines of Communication.
