How did the British Army go from the muddle of the Boer War to the professionalism of 1918?
In this episode, historian David Keable-Elliot talks to the show about The Doctrine of the British Army — the forgotten Field Service Regulations that shaped everything from tactics to training.

Thanks to Dr Chris Brice for organising and conducting this interview.
