What is the size of the british army over time?

"710 000 including reserves" Are you sure? The British Army will drop in size next year to 82,000. Several papers such as "The Independent" pointed out that this will be the lowest number ever since the 1899-1902 Boer War. Are you including the Indian Army, colonial troops and the Royal Navy in this figure? The Royal Navy was our large Arm, and had 103,000 in 1898. At the start of WWI the Regulars and reserves numbered 400,000.

What did they eat in the trenches?

A total of 3,240,948 tons of food was sent from Britain to the soldiers fighting in France and Belgium during the First World War. The British Army employed 300,000 field workers to cook and supply the food. At the beginning of the war British soldiers were given 10 ounces of meat and 8 ounces of vegetables a day. As the size of the army grew and the German blockade became more effective, the army could not maintain these rations and by 1916 this had been cut to 6 ounces of meat a day. Later troops not in the front-line only received meat on nine out of every thirty days. The daily bread ration was also cut in April 1917. The British Army attempted to give the soldiers the 3,574 calories a day that dieticians said they needed. However, others argued that soldiers during wartime need much more than this.
