During the Second Boer War (1899-1902), it is estimated that around 40% of the British troops who volunteered were deemed unfit for service due to various health issues. This included factors such as malnutrition, disease, and inadequate physical condition. The high rate of unfitness highlighted the poor health of many recruits at the time and prompted significant changes in military recruitment and training practices.
