Zustand: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub1931). SB. ix + 352 pp with three illus and l line drawings of guns. Published Price £24 This volume deals with the development of the Royal Regiment of Artillery over a period of forty years. The artillery which fought in the Crimea and the Mutiny was little changed from that which emerged from Peninsular War. Its guns were still smooth bores, and its organization and tactics were suited to its armament; but changes were coming rapidly with the advent of rifled guns, and in 1860 the RA received the âArmstrongâ rifled guns. The first year of the period covered ib this volume saw the establishment of the School of Gunnery at Shoeburyness, and the decision to amalgamate the Artilleries of the three Presidencies in India with the Royal Artillery, the first significant change in organization. The first of the three parts into which the book is divided deals with organizational changes across the forty years and such matters as pay and conditions of service, the abolition of purchase [of commissions, the formation of new brigades etc. Part II deals with armament and charts technical progress - new guns, new ammunition, carriages and mountings and the esxtablishment of an Inspection Branch. The final part is concerned with training under the headings Horse & Field Artillery; Mountain, Heavy and Siege Artillery; and Coast Artillery. In all this the authors keep clear of campaigns and operational matters, reserving them for a separate volume. Appendices contain tables showing armaments of Horse and Field Batteries, particulars of Horse and Field Guns, and all natures of guns in the Service.

Zustand: New. 2005 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1919). HB. xiv + 361pp with eight maps. This volume is one of a series entitled Campaigns and their Lessons . The author, C.E.Calwell (1859-1928) had retired as a colonel five years before the outbreak of war. He was recalled, promoted to Temp Major-General and appointed Director of Military Operations (DMO) in place of Henry Wilson; he held the post till the end of 1915 and was then sent on liaison missions to Russia. He was a well-known military historian, author of several books including the biographies of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson and Lieutenant-General Sir Stanley Maude.The author points out that he is not setting out to furnish a history of the campaign but his principle concern is to study the broad strategical aspects of it and certain of the tactics employed that throw light on the art of conducting amphibious warfare. Thus, the naval attempt to force the straits without military cooperation is treated in some detail. Likewise, the famous landing on the Peninsula on 25th April 1915 is dealt with fairly exhaustively, as is the successful evacuation. Some of the principal battles, battles that involved furious fighting causing heavy losses on both sides, are only touched on briefly because there are no special lessons to be learned. In fact this work is designed to be a study of certain phases of the campaign, not a formal history, and comments and deductions are scattered about in the text.
