Under the Duke of Marlborough the Army had only some forty years of tradition behind it, yet its great successes then, and later when it fought campaigns and maintained garrisons not only in Europe and the Mediterranean but in theatres as far-flung as India, the West Indies and America, were remarkable. ;
