The 'war and society' approach has shed much light on Britain's frequent experience of conflict in this period, but Britain's Soldiers argues that it is time to refocus our attention on the humble redcoat himself, and rethink historical approaches to soldiers' relationship with the society and culture of their day. Using approaches drawn from the histories of the military, gender, art, society, culture and medicine, this volume presents a more rounded picture of the men who served in the various branches of the British armed forces. This period witnessed an unprecedented level of mass mobilisation, yet this was largely achieved through novel forms of military service outside of the regular army. Taking a wide definition of soldiering, this collection examines the part-time and auxiliary forces of the period, as well as looking at the men of the British Army both during their service and once they had been discharged from the army. Chapters here explore the national identity of the soldier, his sense of his rights within systems of military discipline, and his relationships with military hierarchies and honour codes. They also explore the welfare systems available to old and wounded soldiers, and the ways in which soldiers were represented in art and literature. In so doing, this book sheds new light on the processes through which soldiers were 'made' during this crucial period of conflict. 410 0$aEighteenth-century worlds. 606 $aSoldiers$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xArmed Forces$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory, Military$y18th century 615 0$aSoldiers$xHistory 676 $a941.07 702 $aLinch$b Kevin$f1974- 702 $aMcCormack$b Matthew 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787180303321 996 $aBritain's soldiers$93838480 997 $aUNINA
