Military Field Pocket Book; Translation of General Scharnhorst by Cap. Haverfield and Lt. Hofmann.

Military Field Pocket Book; Translation of General Scharnhorst by Cap. Haverfield and Lt. Hofmann. This translation of the Military Field Pocket Book containing the tactical thinking and military methods of the great General von Scharnhorst, architect of Prussias successful resistance to Napoelons domination, was translated in 1811 when Britains war with Napoleon was at its height, and when the Emperor, save in Spain, still seemed invincible. Young officers, although now being trained on a structured basis, often still lacked personal experience of operations against the enemy. Scharnhorsts work was intended to give such young men (who would be commanding in the field by the time of the Battle of Waterloo) some expert insight and guidance into their profession. The first part of the book concerns the instructions for infantry and cavalry officers . The manual is full of useful advice on such things as surprising sentries, finding the enemy and capturing couriers. Another important section describes the practical aspects of field fortifications, and how they should be built. There are examples of obstacles that can be put in the enemys path, as well as wise counsel on how to overcome the same when attacking. This is a military masterclass from a genius at warfare.

Faster Boys - Give Them Hell! Loos, September 25th 1915 by Jason Askew. (GS)

Faster Boys - Give Them Hell! Loos, September 25th 1915 by Jason Askew. (GS) Dawn. British artillery thundered, and the territorial soldiers 15th Scottish division stormed towards the German trenches defending the coal mining village of Loos. The gas cloud that preceded the Highland advance was pendulous and largely stationary due to a distinct lack of wind, and ,upon emerging from the smudgy gas, the highlanders were pelted with machine gun fire and shrapnel from the defending German batteries. Not to be denied, the Scots gritted their teeth, and with an officer shouting faster boys! give them hell! the highlanders charged straight at the defenses. The Germans, unnerved by the stubborn courage of their  kilted opponents, began to fall back through the village of Loos. The Camerons and the Black Watch, shouting their battle cry and charging down the main road of the village, then engaged the defending Germans in a series of savage battles for each and every house - hob-nailed boots, rifle butts, and bayonets being wielded with great enthusiasm by the vengeful Scots. By 8.00am the village was in Scottish hands.
