In May 1916 he founded the Sniping School at Acq, succeeding in establishing a standard syllabus for all of the Armies schools and writing the first official pamphlet on the subject. Brown cloth and cream card boards with black lettering to front. Boards are generally in good order, just a little grubby. Slight bumping to corners. Spine has mild bumping to ends. Mild foxing to the page edges. Text block is a little tanned, but generally clean. 359 pp. Additional photos are available upon request.
