Etat : New. 2006 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1921). SB. xvi + 359pp with three b/w photos and 20 plates with diagrams This volume deals principally with the story of the British Signal Service in France. It was only two years prior to the outbreak of war, in 1912, that the Signal Service was formed as separate and integral branch of the Royal Engineers. In 1920 it became a Corps in its own right - the Royal Corps of Signals, taking precedence immediately after the Royal Engineers. Throughout the chapters of this narrative three main themes can be detected: the evolution of signal policy, of signal organization, and of signal practice. Several definite phases of the war as it affected the Signal Service can be identified, and of these the most important are: the early mobile phase; the stationary (trench warfare) phase of 1915-1917; the retreats of the spring and early summer of 1918; and the final advance to victory. Each phase reacted on signal policy, organization, and practice alike though the first was less affected than the other two. This is a very well written account in which the author has woven together the three main themes into a continuous narrative, adhering as far as possible to a chronological order of facts. At the end are a series of personnel and transport establishment tables of various Signal units, and tables listing signal trades and the number of personnel in each trade present in various units. In all these tables figures are given for each year of the war demonstrating clearly the growth of the Service not only in manpower but also in the skills and trades required. Finally, there are a number of plates depicting signals/wiring diagrams. Book.…

Charles Wright was part of Robert Falcon Scott's last expedition, the Terra Nova Expedition to the Antarctic in 1910-1913. This expedition of exploration and scientific discovery resulted in several publications on a variety of subjects. Intended for a specialised readership, this book would have been produced in a small run. It is remarkable on account of the large number of photographs from the major photographers on the expedition. It is the best illustrated of all the Terra Nova publications, and includes numerous photographs by Herbert Ponting. These photographs, as well as documenting this spectacular expedition, stand as landmarks of modern photography. Many of the photographs only appear in this work. First edition; 4to (31.2 x 24 cm); 47 plate leaves with 291 photographs by Ponting, Wright, Priestley, and others, 1 folding map, numerous maps and illustrations in text, the complete set of 15 folding maps in rear pocket; original red cloth gilt, rebacked preserving part of original spine, a good copy; xx, 581 pp. Rosove 293-8 A1, Taurus 89.…
