Part 1. Expeditionary Force. 1914.
This is a new purchase of a facsimile reprint of the January 1914 original publication. The content is basically over 270 pages of tables showing the officers, men, horses, vehicles, guns and equipment scheduled for every type of unit within a potential expeditionary force.
As such it is not really a book for reading but rather a perfect reference source for the structural composition of the British army of 1914 as sent to France. So if you want to know, for example, how many shovels and pickaxes an 18 pounder battery carried, or how many bicycles were in an R.E. field company this is the book for you !!!!!
A highly recommended book for those interested in this sort of information.
By the way, the answers are 30, 18 and 33 respectively !!!!!!
