- This is a research monograph and a “longer-form output”. It includes 271 pages, and approx. 96K words. The research took five years, requiring research in archives in Belgium, France and the United Kingdom. The book uses documents from state collections, including the War Heritage Institute in Brussels, the Service Historique de l’Armée de Terre in Paris, and the National Archives in Kew, as well as private correspondence, newspaper coverage, and parliamentary. Three large databases with 19,000 entries were created to assess the social composition of the army over the 19th Century, demonstrating the complexity and depth of the research undertaken.
