Conscription UK 1850 - 1900
« on: Monday 05 December 05 13:41 UTC (UK) »
I would like to know if there was army  conscription between 1860 and 1900. Were young men called up, would there be any general records which are searchable.

Many thanks

no problem George, yes WW1  1914-18

it was introduced in 1916, when the patriotic fervour had died down
