provided by the school’s budget for the Cadet’s Rifle Club. The initial issue for the club
was 6000 rounds; the cadets bought an additional 14,000 rounds. Riflery, however,
was not part of the Sandhurst curriculum until after 1902, while the cadets still spent
three hours a day on riding and sword drills. See also Major Darrell D. Hall, ‘Field

herent pre-war planning on the part of both government and military leadership. French
leadership was far less sanguine concerning the combat effectiveness of the BEF, considering
its initial contribution more of a morale boost than anything else. - J. M. Bourne,Britain and the Great War, 1914–1918 (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1989),
