Synopsis

Types de chevaux adaptés pour les remontées de l'armée – Publié en juin 1912 pendant la Grande Guerre, le cheval était considéré comme un atout important pour l'effort de guerre des deux côtés. Il y avait des conditions qui devaient être suivies en ce qui concerne l'âge, la couleur et la sonorité, qui étaient applicables à tous les chevaux acceptés à des fins de remontage. Ce livret fascinant, publié pour la première fois en 1912 par le Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, détaille les types de chevaux à utiliser dans les différentes unités de l'armée britannique, donnant des descriptions détaillées et des photographies de ce qui était attendu.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

The War Office Publications (WW1) series are reproductions from a number of contemporary manuals and books covering First World War doctrine. These were issued by the War Office (WO) Stationery Services (SS) Department and the General Staff to all relevant departments and personnel, whereby each would require equipping, feeding, knowledge how to operate equipment, skills to fight and much more, to perform all the tasks needed to fulfil the requirements an Army needs to function. To ensure continuity in training, process and operation every facet was carefully studied and documented in a series of publications, which were circulated to explain, often in great detail how the various technical, tactical, organisational and many other functions could and should be performed. These documents provide a fascinating insight into the daily lives of soldiers, as well as details of how the conflict was fought. They also help to dispel the myth that the First World War was fought on a basis of tactical and organisational mismanagement. On the contrary, every functional detail was carefully thought through, explained and documented. They tell the true story of how the British Army fought in 1914-1918. They provide a fascinating insight for anyone with an interest in this period.
