Recommended Posts

I was in Foyles Bookshop the other day (a veritable treasure trove) and came away with this handy guide which is essentially a compendium of Military Regs, Laws etc.

Covers:

Infantry training

Field engineering

Notes from the Front

Trench standing orders

Notes on Minor Enterprises

Tactical employment of machine guns and Lewis guns

Games for use with PT tables

Collection of info. regarding the enemy

Use of platoons for offensive action

Gas warfare.

Having been a (virtual) officer on this Forum for a long time now, and having achieved a modest rank, at least I should now know how to do my job!!
