Bah!!!! The British Army was formed in 1707 by Queen Anne and the army's administration consisted of The War Office, The Board of Ordnance, The Commissariat. The War Office was responsible for day-to-day administration of the army, and for the cavalry and infantry while the Board of Ordnance was responsible for the supply of weapons and ammunition, and administered the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers. The Commissariat was responsible for the supply of rations and transport. It occasionally raised its own fighting units. But none of these bodies were usually represented in the Cabinet, nor were they responsible for overall strategy, in which was in the hands of the Secretary of State for War. Get your facts right.....
