SOLDIERS’ PEACE Demobilising the British Army

£3.99

“In November 1918… the British Army numbered 3.75 million. One year later that number was reduced to 890,000.” The Soldiers’ Peace tells you how that was achieved. Many ex-servicemen, promised a ‘land fit for heroes’ by the Lloyd George government, suffered when unemployment rose rapidly and the ambitious wartime programme of ‘reconstruction’ was shelved during the 1921 economic slump.
