England's Military Weakness, Says Austrian Officer
Captain Kirchhammer, writing for the Nineteenth Century, argues Britain ranks low as a military power. He notes a dispersed navy of 203 vessels with twenty-seven ironclads across seventeen stations, and claims England could be invaded by France, Germany, or Russia with Londonable forces. He also critiqued the Anglo India army as an “organized police force” and warns reform toward universal service clashes with aristocratic tradition amid England’s lack of recent combat experience.
