Abstract
ONE of the novel features of the present situation is the presence in Great Britain of an army of more than two million soldiers largely without the soldier's proper task of fighting. The maintenance of the morale and welfare of large bodies of inactive forces is a major problem which has been too much for many commanders in the past. The problems it raises for us already demand close attention and will become the more searching with the shortening of the days as winter approaches. We cannot ignore the classical examples of the demoralization of idle armies.
