Reader's note

An excellent book that is sure to add a touch of class to any collection! The Army has a long tradition of sports and competition, the preface to this book explains the origins - No efficient Army, of course, ever underrated the value of personal fitness. Sport in various forms, has had a long life. Hunting and polo belong to the ancients rather than the moderns. Chivalry had its tournaments in between battles. The British archer, paved the way to many a triumph by holding local competitions. Fisticuffs and rough and tumble games helped to toughen the rank and file even in Victorian days. Much more, however, was needed when half of the British nation suddenly felt the call to become soldiers, sailors or airmen. These men brought with them interests and enthusiasms strange to the army routine. - a fascinating look at army life, this book details sports and their rules according to the British army. Maybe there's some variants to try out? A great addition to any vintage sports library!
