John_Hartley Posted 31 March , 2004 Share Posted 31 March , 2004 Bohdan If you havnt already done so, go to the mother site and find the section "following Tommy's life". You'll find some info about training. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timgdawson Posted 1 April , 2004 Share Posted 1 April , 2004 Bohdan, If you look at a list of kit carried by the soldiers during WW1 (Year 9 of National Curriculum for History), you will find the standard kit for all soldiers during WW1. They would have had to carry all of this. In terms of training, they would have been given all the necessary training required, but no non-irrelevant stuff. Hope this helps, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 1 April , 2004 Share Posted 1 April , 2004 The training period used to be 6 months but the exigencies of war whittled it down to 14 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
