First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Dr John Bourne, for supporting me during my studies. After a break of nearly a decade between completing my first degree and researching and writing this thesis, the experience has been daunting at times, but his patience and understanding have enabled me to finally complete my work. I would also like to thank Dr. Anthony Ingold, who has given constant advice and encouragement during my period of study. He too helped guide me through the process of writing my thesis, proof-reading my early drafts and often giving me a much-needed push to complete my chapters. Jeff Elson, who has passed on to me his extensive knowledge on the South and North Staffordshire Regiments over the years, also provided valuable advice and assistance during my research.
