Rudyard Kipling 
The New Army in Training (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

Published in 1915, this collection of short articles constitutes a bracing early history of the New Army, also known as Kitchener’s Army—or, more disparagingly, Kitchener’s Mob—the revolutionary all-volunteer army fielded by Britain after the outbreak of World War I.
