Quotes by Gary D. Sheffield (?)

― Gary Sheffield

“Since 1688 there has been only one major war, the American War of Independence or Revolutionary War (1776-83), in which Britain has faced a hostile Europe without a major ally. It is no coincidence that this was the only one in which the British were defeated.”
― Gary Sheffield, Forgotten Victory. The First World War: Myths and Reality

“Although 2,466,719 volunteers had joined the army by the end of 1915, in January 1916 conscription had to be introduced. In all, 5,704,000 men served in the British army during the First World War, split roughly equally between volunteers and conscripts.[137] The army of the First World War was larger by far than any other army raised by Britain, before or since.”
