Condition: New. B&W photos, maps and diagramsPublished Price £14.50 The Tyne electrical engineers originated in the early 1880s as a specialist unit in Newcastle responsible for defending the port with submarine mines and searchlights. Its work and numbers grew, and it soon became a full-fledged unit of the Royal Engineers. In the Great War the unit pioneered the use of mobile searchlights, defending ports on its native Tyneside and at Gosport from air and sea attack with searchlight batteries. Units were also engaged on the western front, where, amongst other responsibilities, they supplied water for hard-pressed infantry on the Somme; helped in the tunnelling work that preceded the explosion of a score of gigantic mines at the battle of Messines Ridge. For anyone interested in the vital role of engineering in the Great War, this book is a must.

Condition: New. From the Canadian in charge of the joint military command in Kandahar Province in Afghanistan, this is the real on-the-ground story of one of NATO's bloodiest, most decisive and misunderstood operations: The battle of Panjwayi, the defining moment of Operation Medusa." In the summer of 2006, David Fraser was the Canadian general in charge of NATO's Regional Command South, a territory spanning six Afghan provinces surrounding the Arghandab Valley. Birthplace of the Taliban decades earlier, this fertile region had since become Afghanistan's most deadly turf. It would soon turn deadlier still. Advised in the night by his intelligence officers that the Taliban had secretly amassed for a full-scale military assault, Fraser knew it would fall to him, his Canadians and their allies to avoid the wholesale slaughter of NATO troops, keep the Taliban from laying siege to Kandahar and restore control of the south of the country to a newly formed, democratic Afghan government. The odds were solidly against Fraser's forces. The Taliban knew every millimeter of their own terrain. During the months of secret manoeuvres, they had stocked every farmhouse, school, grape hut and tunnel with weapons and ammunition. They had drilled Soviet-era landmines into all of the marijuana and poppy fields and dug IEDs into every roadway. Protected from detection by corrupt officials, their sophisticated warfare schools had successfully readied an army of zealous fighters to attack and fight to the death. And now their top commanders were poised to launch decisive military operations against freshly arrived troops who had never seen combat. The bloodiest battle in NATO's history was about to begin.".

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book is a facsimilie reproduction of the original 1857 manuscript held in the Archive of the Royal Gunpowder Mills, Waltham Abbey. It contains information pertaining to the historical significance of the Royal Gunpowder Mills. It is the 2nd volume in the Royal Gunpowder Mills Historical Reprint Series. For more information about the Archive, visit: Description - from the Preface: Having been requested to write an Article on the Manufacture of Gunpowder for the Aide Memoire, to replace the present pages on this subject, which treats entirely of the old method pursued; I have thought that a pamphlet separately published, would be of service to those who might not wish the expense of such a large work. The different processes employed, I have endeavoured to explain as clearly and simply as possible, without going into too minute detail, or entering into the cost, &c., &c. of Ingredients, and Manufacture, it having been considered for many reasons not advisable to do so. Several Officers have visited this Establishment within the last year, and appeared to take an interest in the verbal descriptions given them by me, on witnessing the different stages of fabrication; should the perusal of this Pamphlet revive any interest they may have taken in the subject treated of, or give those who have not visited the Factory, some slight insight into the manufacture of this most important material of War, my object in writing these pages will have been more than gained.
