Contents Description:

The English Civil War marked the beginning of the British Army. Before this, there was no professional standing army of consequence, and the forces which were raised in 1642 to fight a bitter war across a divided country relied at the outset on the experience of the handful of mercenary soldiers who had fought on the continental battlefields of the Thirty Years War. It was the New Model Army with its iron discipline which emerged victorious, and from these seasoned troops,= stemmed the regular army of 1660. - from the inside flap
