The British Army during the Second World War was, in 1939, a volunteer army, that introduced conscription shortly after the declaration of war with Germany. During the early years of the war, the army suffered defeat in almost every theatre it deployed. With mass conscription, the expansion of the army was reflected in the formation of larger armies and army groups. From 1943, the larger and better equipped British Army hardly suffered a strategic defeat. The pre-war British Army was trained and equipped to garrison the British Empire and as became evident during the war was woefully unprepared and ill-equipped for a war with multiple enemies on multiple fronts. The army at the start of the war remained small in comparison to its enemies and up to 1939, would remain an all volunteer force; by the end of the war over 3.5 million men had served in the army.
