Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maps and Artillery Boards At the commencement of the war the extensive use of large scale maps was not contemplated. Nothing larger than the 1: and 1: scale was issued to the troops, though a few copies of maps on larger scales (of Belgium) were avail able for the use of the General Staff. In the event of future mobile operations it is intended to revert to the 1: scale. When the present stationary phase began, artillery firing was carried out mainly from the map, necessitating a larger scale in order to get more accurate measurements and directions between gun and target. For this purpose a 1: scale was selected. The development of trench warfare, and the possibility of mapping trenches in minute detail from air photo graphs, made an even larger scale desirable; hence for trench maps a 1: scale has been adopted, the series being con fined to sheets on which the front lines of trenches fall, and those in their immediate vicinity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Artillery traces the development of artillery through the ages, providing a thorough study of these weapons. From its earliest recorded use in battle over a millennium ago, up to the recent Gulf War, Balkan, and Afghanistan conflicts, artillery has often been the deciding factor in battle. Black shows that artillery sits within the general history of a war as a means that varied greatly between armies and navies, and also across time.

Download or read book Map of a Nation written by Rachel Hewitt and published by Granta Publications. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “absorbing history of the Ordnance Survey”—the first complete map of the British Isles—"charts the many hurdles map-makers have had to overcome” (The Guardian, UK). Map of a Nation tells the story of the creation of the Ordnance Survey map, the first complete, accurate, affordable map of the British Isles. The Ordnance Survey is a much beloved British institution, and this is—amazingly—the first popular history to tell the story of the map and the men who dreamt and delivered it. The Ordnance Survey’s history is one of political revolutions, rebellions and regional unions that altered the shape and identity of the United Kingdom over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It’s also a deliciously readable account of one of the great untold British adventure stories, featuring intrepid individuals lugging brass theodolites up mountains to make the country visible to itself for the first time.

Book excerpt: Since 1899, the significant role Australian gunners have played in supporting the Australian Military Forces' campaigns has been well-documented. They have gallantly and whole-heartedly supported Australian, British, New Zealand and Indian armies in both World Wars, the Korean and Borneo Confrontation Wars and most recently the Vietnam War. Do Unto Others is a comprehensive account of the history of counter bombardment, including the development of Australian techniques, equipment and procedures through the campaigns up until Vietnam, with references to the techniques and actions of the British and American artillery included where appropriate to place the Australian experience in perspective. It is also the story of the brave men behind the artillery and their outstanding efforts and results across these varied campaigns.
