Condition: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1940). SB. xiii + 577pp with six illus and 23 mapsPublished Price £24 In the first two volumes of this history nothing was said of active service, although the Army was engaged in numerous wars in which the artillery played its part. The reason for this omission was that none of these campaigns, with the possible exception of S Africa, affected its development to a degree at all comparable with the influence exerted by the European wars of the period, or by the advance of science, as described in Volume II. Thus in the planning stage of this history, it was decided to treat the campaigns separately and this volume is the result. It is primarily concerned with those campaigns which have marked some real epoch in the life of the Regiment, or exerted some distinct influence on its development. During the period covered the artillerymen faced all sorts of weapons: slings, arrows, jezails, muskets, match-locks and spears but rarely did they have to face bursting shell. The wars in which the enemy also had recourse to artillery were to be studied with care, and in considering these the action of the artillery will be described in detail, with such comments that are called for to bring out the lessons to be learned. The object has been to concentrate on the role of the artillery without any discussions of political or or military factors that may have led to the outbreak of hostilities. The wars covered are shown by theatres: India, China, New Zealand and Canada, North & East Africa, West and South Africa and the South African War. with the latter are a number of appendices giving such details as Units engaged and total strength; guns used; ammunition expended; distribution of units, 1901; command and staff appointments and medals and clasps.

Condition: 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.

Condition: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1937). SB. xxiii + 475ppPublished Price £24 This volume continues the theme of the development of the Royal Artillery during the run-up to the Great War, fifteen years compared with the forty of VoL I, fifteen years devoted to definite preparation in which the developments in Organization, Armament and Training discussed in Vol I were co-ordinated to a common aim. On the other hand the breach between branches was widened by the separation between mounted and dismounted, and the general trend towards spacialization. So, in this volume a different method has been adopted in which the developments of each branch are recorded separately in three parts - The Field Army Artillery, The Siege Artillery and the Coast Artillery. Part V has a couple of chapters on the Auxiliary Artillery which included the Militia, Volunteers, the Special Reserve and the Territorial Force. The final Part VI deals with Regimental Institutions such as the Remount Department, the Riding Establishment, the RA Institution, the Artillery College, Gunnery courses, the RMA, the RA Mess and the Bands. One of the appendices provides a chart showing the distribution of units as on 1 Aug 1914. There is a very comprehensive index.
