Synopsis

""Field Exercise and Evolutions of the Army"" is a comprehensive guide to military tactics and maneuvers written by Henry Torrens. Originally published in 1811, this book provides detailed instructions on how to conduct military exercises and drills, including marching, wheeling, forming lines, and deploying troops. It also covers the use of artillery and cavalry in battle, as well as the organization and deployment of troops in different formations. The book's focus on practical application makes it an invaluable resource for military officers and soldiers alike, and its historical significance as a primary source on early 19th-century military tactics and training makes it a must-read for anyone interested in military history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The revised 1824 edition of the standard manual of British army exercises. Major General Sir Henry Torrens had the recent experiences of the Napoleonic Wars firmly in mind when he undertook the revision of the rules. The resulkting handbook was then distributed to all officers to be ‘strictly adhered to, without any deviation whatsoever’. Part One of the book is divided into three sections. The first deals with open order exercises without arms, and covers parading, stepping out, marching etc. The second deals with close order marching; and the third, exercising with arms. Part II concerns company manoevres; and Part III with those of a battalion. Part IV details the rules of Light Infantry formations, and Part V with those of a brigade. The book is accompanied by a series of fascinating diagrams illustrating the exercises and manoevres described.
