Hardcover. Condition: Very good. No dust jacket. Reprint. 56 p. Illustrations. Occasional footnotes. Security Note. Words and Phrases. Weights and Measures. Road Signs. This edition reproduces the spelling of the original except in the case of ize/ise spellings, which have been regularized. The section entitled "Words and Phrase…s" is printed in abridged form. This book has nothing to do with military operations. It deals only with civilian live in France and with the way servicemen should behave to the French civilian population. In 1944 the British War Office distributed a handbook to British soldiers informing them what to expect and how to behave in a newly-liberated France. Containing candid descriptions of this war-ravaged society (widespread malnourishment, rampant tuberculosis) as well as useful phrases and a pronunciation guide (Bonjewer, commont-allay-voo), it was an indispensable guide to everyday life. But this small and unassuming publication had a deeper purpose: to bring together two allies who did not enjoy ideal relations in 1944. The book attempts to reconcile differences by stressing a shared history and the common aim-defeating Hitler. It also tried to dispel misapprehensions: 'There is a fairly widespread belief among people in Britain that the French are a particularly gay, frivolous people with no morals and few convictions. ' Often unintentionally hilarious in its expression of these false impressions, the book is also a guide for avoiding social embarrassment: 'If you should happen to imagine that the first pretty French girl who smiles at you intends to dance the can-can or take you to bed, you will risk stirring up a lot of trouble for yourself-and for our relations with the French. ' Many of its observations still ring true today. For example, 'The French are more polite than most of us. Remember to call them "Monsieur, Madame, Mademoiselle, " not just "Oy! "' Others remind us of how we recently we have adopted French customs: 'Don't drink yourself silly. If you get the chance to drink wine, learn to "'take it". ' Anyone with an interest in Britain, France or World War II will find this an irresistible insight into British attitudes towards the French and an interesting, timeless commentary on Anglo-French relations.

Wraps. Reprint. Facsimile of the Sixth Edition. [2], iv134, [2] p. Frontis. From Wikipedia: "Officer training refers to the training that most military officers must complete before acquiring an officer rank. A potential recruit becomes an officer cadet, someone in training. An officer in training can either be trained in a mili…tary college like West Point, or taken from the enlisted ranks. After this training is complete, the recruit in question becomes a fully fledged officer, taking on a commanding position in his or her military branch." Good. Sticker residue on back cover.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. 345, [1] pages. Substantial tabular information. This work is Nineteenth in The Battery Press Reference Series. This is the British General Staff's intelligence manual for the German Army at the beginning of World War I. Originally printed in 1912 and amended to August 1914, this reference volume… has chapters on the conditions of service, organization and numbers available in peace and war, administration of the Army and General Staff, infantry, cavalry, artillery, technical troops, supply and medical services, tactics, signalling and colonial troops. Also included are appendices giving military pay, military terms, and topographical signs and abbreviations. This handbook was intended for the use of officers who desired to obtain a comprehensive view of the German Army during peace-time, or who may wish to follow its operations during manoeuvres or other training. The Fourth Edition of this handbook was completed after the passing of laws respecting the peace strength of the German Army up to 1915. The main effect of these changes in the law was to perfect rather than to increase the number of the larger units available on mobilization for the first line. Two new Army-Corps were created, making 25 in all. Reprint edition of work originally published in 1914.

Excerpts from an on-line encyclopedia posting: "military bridge, temporary bridge that must usually be constructed in haste by military engineers, from availab…le materials, frequently under fire. The earliest types historically were pontoon bridges i.e., floating bridges that rest on stationary boats. By the 17th century, bridging equipment was part of the train of European and Turkish armies, with pontoons fashioned not only of timber but also of leather, copper, and tin. Pneumatic pontoons with steel roadways made their appearance during World War II. Military trestles were built in considerable numbers in the wars of the 19th century. Military pontoon bridges are usually built either by successively extending outward from the shore or by constructing whole sections as rafts and floating them into position. Truss bridges, for use where riverbanks are steep or navigation must be kept open, are made up in panels readily bolted together. Military truss bridges were pioneered in World War II by the highly successful British-invented Bailey bridge, which played an especially important role in the Allied campaign in Italy." Good.
