Aspects of a Nation in Arms: Britain’s Volunteer Training Corps in the Great War.
Photocopy of offprint by Ian F W Beckett, 1985.
The Volunteer Training Corps were founded in November, 1914 for much the same reasons that led to the creation of volunteer units during the Napoleonic Wars. Their existence however, was taken advantage of by those wishing to avoid service overseas. They were disbanded in February, 1919.
