In the first and only examination of how the British Empire and Commonwealth sustained its soldiers before, during, and after both world wars, a cast of leading military historians explores how the empire mobilized manpower to recruit workers, care for veterans, and transform factory workers and farmers into riflemen. Raising armies is more than counting people, putting them in uniform, and assigning them to formations. It demands efficient measures for recruitment, registration, and assignment. It requires processes for transforming common people into soldiers and then producing officers, staffs, and commanders to lead them. It necessitates balancing the needs of the armed services with industry and agriculture. And, often overlooked but illuminated incisively here, raising armies relies on medical services for mending wounded soldiers and programs and pensions to look after them when demobilized. Manpower and the Armies of the British Empire in the Two World Wars is a transnational look at how the empire did not always get these things right. But through trial, error, analysis, and introspection, it levied the large armies needed to prosecute both wars. Contributors Paul R. Bartrop, Charles Booth, Jean Bou, Daniel Byers, Kent Fedorowich, Jonathan Fennell, Meghan Fitzpatrick, Richard S. Grayson, Ian McGibbon, Jessica Meyer, Emma Newlands, Kaushik Roy, Roger Sarty, Gary Sheffield, Ian van der Waag

A CKNOWLEDGMENTS

This collection would not have been possible without the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Canada Research Chair (CRC) in War Studies at the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), for which we are grateful. SSHRC and CRC funding allowed us to exchange ideas in person and really workshop the book when we went over each others drafts. We are also are grateful for the assistance of several people at RMC, including Suzanne Robertson, who made all the administrative arrangements, Jaya Surapaneni, who finalized all the travel claims, and Kevin Brushett, chair of the Department of History, who helped us knock down so many administrative obstacles.

For the collection itself, we wish to thank our contributors for their chapters and their patience with us as editors. At Cornell University Press, Emily Andrew and Alexis Siemon were wonderfulmeticulous, patient, encouraging, and kind. We also owe thanks to the anonymous reviewers, whose insightful comments helped improve the final product, and to Caroline Vary-ONeal, who formatted the manuscript.
