Condición: New. 2006 N&M Pres reprint (original pub 1926). SB. 72 pp This is a remarkably detailed review of the Royal Engineers (RE) and its varied units in peacetime and the tremendous expansion that took place during the course of the war including the formation of many new units that did not exist before the war. What is interesting is how wide were the responsibilities of the Corps, which are fully described, chapter by chapter, thus we read and learn about: bridging units, electrical and mechanical companies, tunnelling companies, forestry units, the inundation section, tramway and foreway companies (the latter being a new service, formed in March 1918, to distribute supplies forward of railhead).Then there were transportation units, the postal service, the signals service, which separated from its parent Corps in 1920 and became the Royal Corps of Signals, meteorological sections, camouflage, field survey, mapping, anti-aircraft searchlight, gas (the Special Brigade) and yet more besides. It makes for fascinating and, I am sure, very enlightening reading for many. At the end there are tables showing all these and their growth during the war and the numbers serving in the various theatres of war. The RE regulars and special reserve began the war with 1,056 officers and 10,304 men; by 1 August 1917 these figures had become 8,886 and 230,500. In this same period the TF grew from 13,640 all ranks to 56,282. Book.…

Condición: New. 2006 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1926) Sb. 49pp with five photos and 21 plates The idea of forming a Camouflage Section in the BEF was first suggested at GHQ in the winter of 1915, following the success of the work of the French Camouflage Section in Amiens, whose workshop was visited by British officers. The chief means of camouflage was the painted screen, and as a result of a visit to France by a professional artist and his advice, volunteers were called for from the troops in France with experience of theatrical work, such as scenic artists, stage carpenters, workers in cardboard etc. These assembled at St Omer under an officer in January 1916 pending the fitting up of a building in Wimereux. Thus was born the camouflage service. This account goes on to give details of the first establishments and subsequent increases in establishment. The Camouflage Service was represented at GHQ, Army and Corps HQs and depots were set up corps areas and camouflage factories were formed in Army areas. By the time the war ended camouflage was 'big' in France and Flanders as this account reveals. American and French work in this field is also featured as well as German methods. At the end are tables of statistics showing quantities of stores and materials used. Book.…

Condición: New. 2006 N&M reprint (original pub 1926). SB. 30pp This section begins by noting the complete lack of Engineer intelligence regarding the Western Theatre of War before 1914. An old, 1906 report confirmed that the roads in Belgium were paved or macademised, while all it said about the Meuse was that its current was swift in places while its depth was sometimes as much as 45 feet. Not a great deal of use! It then goes on to detail what information was needed and what efforts were made to get it. It also stressed the need for pamphlets and such like material for Stationery Services Publications and keeping them up to date; and fourthly was there was the requirement to obtain information on enemy field engineering methods and disseminate it. This section concludes with a series of appendices showing list of the plates of field work designs, a list of the Engineer-in-Chief's Field-Work notes, Classified index of Mining notes, lists of publications and a list of German field-work plates. Book.…
