CAN GERMANY INVADE ENGLAND?
But where Germany really has no equal is in her military organisation ; and, in the light of this admission, let us now inquire into the composition of the Force which is presently to descend upon our shores.
The German Peace Establishment consists of twenty-three Army Corps, and each Army Corps, when placed on a war footing, is composed of[1]:
| Troops | 25,000 |
| Non-Combatants | 16,000 |
| Horses | 13,000 |
| Guns | 144 |
| Vehicles, including artillery wagons | 2,200 |
Its nominal formation is [1]:
| Battalions of Infantry | 25 |
| Squadrons of Cavalry | 6 |
| Batteries of Artillery | 24. |
and its fighting strength [1]:
| Men | 25,000 |
| Horses | 1,900 |
| Guns | 144 |
