Fighting Fit 1914 by Adam Culling

Fighting Fit 1914 by Adam Culling

The First World War prompted the recruitment and training of British soldiers on an unprecedented scale. And they all needed to be prepared for one of the deadliest, most gruelling conflicts in human history. Physical training, bayonet fighting training and hand-to-hand combat all fell under the instruction of the Army Gymnastic Staff, which grew from 200 to 2,000 officers and instructors between 1914 and 1918. Adam W. Culling, Curator of the Royal Army Physical Training Corps Museum, has collected here a number of training and equipment manuals, books, photographs and inspirational lectures. Together these provide an insight into how the physical training instructor kept the British soldier Fighting Fit.

Adam Culling is a museum curator and historian who has had a lifetime interest in military history. He has had the privilege to curate regimental and local history museum collections for over fifteen years. He lives on the Essex/Suffolk border with his wife and daughter.
