.BRITISH IRMY
MUCH CHANGED
SINCE B BEGAN
i
j LONDON, August S. —The British
Imy las undergone changes of j far
reaching character since the outbreak
.of the war in 1914, and it now pos-
Isesses many branches unheard of in
I pre-war days. Every resource afforded
by the manifold capacity of this great
industrial community has been har-I
nessed to the war chariot, says a Brit
ish statement from official sources.
There are certain respects in which
the problem by which the British army
it faced is unique; and one of the
most striking of these is that it must
be capable of campaigning in any part (
of the world, and in any climate. In (
(the case of armies like that of Ger-(
(many, on the other hand, the problem(
'of preparation for war was relatively'
■ simple. The ground on which the army
was destined to fight was known; it
was an army designed to do battle in
a particular theatre—Europe. In con
sequence everything could be, and was,
planned along certain well-defined
(lines.
In the present war the importance
i of field works was apparent at a very
(early stage, partly owing to modern
'artillery, and partly to the confirmed
entrenching habit of the Germans.
One of the cardinal instructions
given by the German commanders to
their troops on first invading France
and Belgium was, “make trenches
everywhere.” In fact, all the conti
nental powers had in addition to their
corps of engineers, very large num
bers of trained pioneers, organized
i i battalions, and suitable for use
either as fighting troops, cr in the
construction and mantenance of field
works and communications. The ab
solute importance of the last named
can perhaps only be realized by one
who has seen the roads during an ad
vance.
But, while the continent was to
this extent prepared for trench war
fare, as was natural in the circum
stances, it was otherwise with Great
Britain. In the British service only
the Indian Army possessed pioneer
regiments, these troops being always
necessary in conducting campaigns
i » the hill country. When the need
(for this class of troops became evi
dent steps were taken to form pio
neer battalions for the expeditionary
force. From the first they proved their
value.
Pioneers are prepared to fight or
work, as may be required. They per
form such services as the construc
tion and repair of communication
trenches, fire trenches and dug-outs,
the digging of trenches and wiring.
Their duties are manifold, and there
is no form of usefulness at the front
which the pioneer does not at one
time or another find himself called up
on to undertake. His activities range
from carrying up ammunition to re
trieving the wounded or holding a
fiercely disputed trench or sap.
In the great advances on the Somme
and in Artois the pioneers performed
work of the greatest importance. The
duty of consolidating the captured
ground and connecting it up with the
old front line of the attackers, largely
fell to them. In many places they took
part in the advance as infantry, in
others they kept the advancing lines
supplied with ammunition and water,
and beat off counter-attacks. Their
losses have been heavy, but they have
accomplished their tasks in the face of
every obstacle.
As a rule the pioneers remain in the
\icinity of the trenches all the time
their division is in the line, and do not
go back for rest, except a. long inter
vals.
The pioneer is as yet a new type
in 'he British army, but he has long
since passed the trial stale, and has
’.proved l.is worth and steadfastness.
; His metal has been tried in the cruci
' | ble of war and very thoroughly it has
stood the test.
