War Office - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1068 words)
The War Office was a former department of the British Government, responsible for the administration of the British Army between the 17th century and 1963, when its functions were transferred to the Ministry of Defence.
The management of the War Office was initially headed by the curiously-named Secretary at War, whose role had originated under King Charles II of England as the secretary to the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army.
The post of Secretary at War was merged with that of the Secretary of State for War in 1855 and was abolished altogether in 1863.
Chronology of World War I (2422 words)
British forces retaliated with gases of their own, but neither side was able to break the stalemate.
British Imperial troops (troops from countries anywhere in the British Empire) landed on Gallipoli peninsula and attempted to climb steep bluffs overlooking the sea, under heavy fire from the Ottoman Turks.
The British Navy was bigger than the German, so Germany could not risk another naval loss; and as a result, the British blockade was able to stay in effect for the rest of the war.
