The March of Kitchener's Army - British March

March composed by J. Ord Hume.

The New Army, often referred to as Kitchener's Army was an all-volunteer portion of the British Army formed in the United Kingdom from 1914 onwards following the outbreak of hostilities in the First World War in late July 1914. It originated on the recommendation of Herbert Kitchener, then the Secretary of State for War to obtain 500,000 volunteers for the Army. By the end of the war around 2.5 million men volunteered.

Performed by the Opal Military Band.
