After looking in detail at the rifle and bayonet and the sniper rifle, the manual contains detailed instructions for the Lewis gun in the ground and anti aircraft roles, as well as the same treatment for the Hotchkiss gun.'The manual is completely illustrated with diagrams and line drawings and was valid for troop training through to the beginning of the Second World War.
