N2  - The story of chiefs, tracing their origins and their development through many reorganisations and changes of emphasis from the formation of the committee of imperial defence 1904 to the collapse of the communist threat to Europe and the beginnings of a new military epoch in 1989.  It is a story of evolutionary progress, punctuated with periods of revolutionary reform, leading to greater unity of effort in handling the armed forces of the crown and justifying the motto emblazoned on the British army officers epaulette stars for historic, religious and not military reasons
