Then September came.
Just when summer's heat slowly began to break.
East, West, South, Balkans, Isonzo, Serbia, Arabia, Africa, Asia - battles, rebellions, and uprisings continue endlessly in all regions.
"Send, send more troops!"
"Ah, citizens still harbor antipathy toward this conscription system-"
"If conscripts are difficult, send Territorial Force! The front lines are hell right now!"
"The homeland's territorial army is part-time volunteers?"
Sure enough, Britain suffered from severe army manpower shortages.
Starting with creating six additional divisions in August 1914, they increased to 29 divisions by March 1915, but didn't grow much after that.
More precisely, they increased numbers but lost just as many, so the troop ledger stayed even.
They barely created the Third Army in July, but before even filling it, the war intensified from September.
Was manpower shortage their only problem?
