Comment
In 1939, before the declaration of the Second World War, the British Army was a volunteer army, but shortly after war was declared, it became full conscription.
During the early years of the Second World War, the British Army suffered defeat in almost every part of the war in which it was deployed. After the introduction of mass conscription, the expansion of the British Army was reflected in the formation of larger armies and army groups. From 1943, the larger and better-equipped British Army never suffered a strategic defeat.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design depicting Queen Elizabeth II in a military uniform, which is a departure from the traditional depiction of the Queen in formal attire. This design was chosen to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings during World War II.
