Readers never tire of books on the subject of WWI and the depiction of the period is immensely popular with re-enactors, whilst collectors amass all sorts of items from the period from equipment to documentation.

This edited reproduction of an original instruction manual will satisfy all these levels of interest. Containing all the points for the fighting soldier serving in any theatre of the war, this was the work used to train the fighting man in 1916. It is full of facts, which will be of interest to everybody, but especially re-enactors because of the duties, weapons and how trenches were constructed and the fighting in these confined spaces. From aircraft recognition to what to do in the event of a gas, it is all contained here in this official manual of the day, which means there can be no question about its authenticity.
