DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Trench Warfare: A Manual for Officers and Men It is a safe bet that when the German army started for Paris they had plans for use in the event of disaster. The disaster occurred, and a new type of warfare requiring the highest courage, skill and endurance was born .I say born because although trench warfare was known before, it died in birth compared to this war, for the amount of science, energy and variety of weapons used. More earth has been removed by a combination of man, pick and shovel in making these trenches than was excavated to make the Panama Canal possible, and in less time. It is my object in this book to give a faint idea and knowledge of the trenches, and to approximately explain the way warfare is carried on, and I offer the information contained herein as a basic foundation on which to use the further knowledge you will gain as an officer, and which, for obvious reasons, I will not and cannot give here.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Joseph Shuter Smith (1893-1950) was an American, born in Philadelphia, who enlisted in the 29th Vancouver Battalion in the fall of 1914. He saw service along the Belgian front, and in August 1916 was given a commission in the British Army. At the time this manual on trench warfare was published in 1917 he was serving as a Second Lieutenant in the infantry service with the British Expeditionary Force on the French front. The information set forth in his manual was garnered from different instruction courses and his own observations and practise whilst on active duty, and covers all aspects of trench building, maintenance, communication, use of weapons, etc., together with notes on the duties of platoon commanders and officers. Illustrated with diagrams. Shuter was also the author of Over There and Back in Three Uniforms: Being the Experiences of an American Boy in the Canadian, British and American Armies at the Front and Through No Man's Land.
