	Take the King's Shilling: Recruitment for the British Army, 1812
		While the recruiting prospect drank endless rounds from the punch bowl, his ears were filled with stories of an easy life as a soldier, quick promotion and how women to could not help but be drawn to a man in a red coat.
		The members of a recruiting party were all quite motivated in convincing say a young weaver or labourer to join as each was paid handsomely for each recruit they brought before the army surgeon for inspection and got attested by a Justice of the Peace.
		Recruiting was not confined to the British Isles.

	British Army: 2300AD - Overview
		The British Army is tasked with force projection on and off-Earth, the defence of the British Isles alongside units from Ireland, the defence of British or allied territory outside the British Isles and in aiding the defence of British colony worlds outside the solar system.
		The British Army is one of the largest employers of manpower in the UK and is reliant on a fairly advanced recruiting system to bring in the required number of volunteers.
		The British Army is defined in the minds of outsiders by two images; the Guards on parade in red tunics and bearskins and effete public school educated officers.

	British Army Light Role Infantry Platoon
		The centre of excellence for the British infantry tactics and leadership is at the School of Infantry at Brecon in Wales.
		British Army infantry doctrine is seen, and taught, as a guide rather than 'gospel' to be followed at all times.
		British doctrine is very firm on the use of maximum indirect fire-support to support the light role attack.

		The army will staff a recruitment table at the festival, which is billed as one of the United Kingdom's biggest gay pride events, and 10 soldiers will march in uniform in the parade Saturday with a mix of gay men, lesbians, transvestites, and transsexuals.
		Leanda Pitt, who commands recruiting efforts for the army in and around Manchester, said the parade was an opportunity to try and find new personnel.
		The British government lifted a ban on gays serving in the country's armed forces in 2000 after the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the restriction was a violation of human rights.

		Recruitment of non-heterosexuals has only been permitted since 1999 when the European court ruled the ban on gays was against the law.

		The claimants, ex-Gurkhas of the British Army accuse the British Government of discrimination and unequal treatment.
		Since the 1947 Tripartite Agreement between India, Nepal and UK, their recruitment into the British Army has been regulated by that agreement, which linked remuneration of Gurkhas to the Indian Army's Pay Code, resulting in a significant disparity in the payment of salaries and pensions between British Gurkhas and other British soldiers.
		Our clients point out that white and European officers of the Indian Army (and specifically Gurkha officers) have received the payment and, therefore, their exclusion from this scheme is for reasons of racial discrimination.

	National The Telegraph - Weekly (Nepal)
		Recruitment of Nepalese soldiers in the British Indian Army had started as early as 1814 (Husain, 1970).
		Thus, throughout the 19th century and the early decades of 20th century, on the one hand, Indians were actively sought, encouraged and included to emigrate and settle in Nepal Terai, so that the Terai plains could be cultivated and surplus grain generated for export.
		Thus, while service of the army in India and abroad became an important occupation and source of livelihood for the people in the hills, import of Indian labour involving lower costs became the major sources of agricultural development of the Terai.

		The army says it is enlisting 5,000 men to rebuild depleted units of the army and allow thousands who have put in long-years of service to retire.
		However, the latest recruitment drive is being carried out against the backdrop of an open-ended ceasefire with Tamil Tiger guerrillas and the prospect of a political settlement to the long-running separatist war.
		The Sri Lankan army says it is already preparing plans to downsize and deploy some of the units for national development work in the event of a final peace settlement.

	'Iraq guilt' mars morale, recruitment at British army top general
		Army morale and recruitment are suffering because troops are seen as "guilty by association" with Prime Minister Tony's Blair's decision to invade Iraq, Britain's top soldier claimed in comments published here Sunday.
		The March 2003 invasion of Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein initially helped to attract new recruits and lift morale in the armed forces, despite being unpopular among the British public, said Walker.
		But he refused to be drawn on the question of how long British troops would be required to stay on the ground, reiterating the official line that it is up to the Iraqi government to decide.
