Notes for Infantry Officers on Trench Warfare, March 1916
£7.50
This exceptionally important official handbook was the Bible for infantry officers on the western front in the Great War. It covers a wealth of subjects essential to the efficient conduct of trench warfare, which, although published as late as March 1916, it still insists is only a temporary phase.An absolutely indispensible volume for anyone interested in the Great War.
Description
This manual strives to inculcate an offensive spirit and gives practical instructions backed by a wide range of detailed diagrams on such subjects as the siting and digging of trenches; how to construct trenches in wet ground; sanitation and latrines; the size and depth of dug-outs; drainage and flooding; Day and night routine; the care of feet; wiring and strong points; and notes on attack and defence. Studying this book and examining the diagrams will give the reader a clear idea of trench warfare as it should be conducted – at least according to the official view.
