Riflemen Form: A Study of the Rifle Volunteer Movement 1859-1908
Ian F. W. Beckett
Lt.-Gen. Sir Garnet Wolseley commented that history would record the formation of the Volunteers Movement as one of the most remarkable events in the century.
In this study of the Rifle Volunteer Movement, the author Ian Beckett has drawn from a wide range of primary source material such as official, regimental, local and private repositories.
He has been able to put into perspective the Movement within the structure of the Victorian and Edwardian social, political, and military affairs from its formation in 1859 to its absorption in the Territorial Force in 1908.
