At the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, the British Army consisted of volunteers and numbered approximately 250,000 regular troops. Following the Second Boer War of 1899-1902, significant changes had been made to uniforms, equipment and weapons, including the introduction of khaki uniforms. British soldiers were well trained, with considerable emphasis placed on marksmanship. The realities of the war, however, led to the introduction of general conscription in Britain in January 1916 and a major expansion of the armed forces.

The primary weapon of the British infantryman was the Lee Enfield Mark III Short Magazine rifle. During the war, the successful Lewis light machine gun was also introduced on a large scale, while field artillery units mainly used 84 mm 18-pounder guns. Infantry tactics changed significantly as well, developing from an emphasis on individual rifle fire and skirmishing attacks towards the more flexible assault tactics of 1918, with extensive use of machine guns and grenades.

The division formed the basic organisational unit at tactical and operational level. The 27th Infantry Division, formed in 1914, for example consisted of three infantry brigades and from 1915 four, supported by artillery, engineers, medical and supply units. By the end of 1918, the British Army numbered approximately 3.82 million soldiers organised into 70 divisions, with infantry forming the largest element. British infantry received its baptism of fire at Mons in 1914, while the Battle of the Somme in 1916 became its bloodiest battle.
