The Boer War Lessons That Changed and Prepared the British Army for World War One.
Abstract
The British Army eventually prevailed over the Boers of South Africa during their 1899 through 1902 war. However, the Boer War proved to be a difficult undertaking for the British Army. The war exposed deficiencies in a wide variety of crucial areas including organization, equipment, doctrine and training. An important post-war reform movement made drastic improvements that ultimately prepared the British Army for WWI.
