Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume deals with two types of RE schools established in the BEF, they were: School of Instruction - For OCs and 2ICs of Field Units, first started in the winter 1916-17; and Training School - For all ranks of the Royal Engineers, later opened to officers and NCOs of Pioneer battalions, formed early in 1917. There were two 'Schools of Instruction', one at Le Parcq, the other at Blendecques. The staffs consisted of a Commandant (Lt Col), two instructors (Majors) and a QM. Classes were 40 strong and the course were at first of ten days duration, later extended to three weeks. The 'Training School' was at Rouen, RE Base Depot and ran different types of courses and an appendix gives the daily syllabus for the Construction course for regular RE officers (36 days). One of the plates has a detailed drawing of the school showing all the facilities.The text describes all the subjects taught and explains the photos and the plates.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1914 the BEF did not have any technical units to deal with the problems of water supply, electricity, machinery or workshops forward of the L of C. With the steadily increasing number of troops, and the consequent extensions of fronts, with the demands of all sorts of trench warfare contrivances, and requirements of a higher degree of comfort in living conditions the lack of skilled personnel became apparent to all. However, the problem of water supply in the Somme battles brought matters to a head and resulted in the formation during the winter of 1916-17 of an Electrical and Mechanical Company for each Army, followed in the summer of 1917 by a similar number of Army Workshop Companies RE. This volume traces in details the story of these units and the nature of their work. Numerous tables and lists provide details of the personnel and their trades in an E & M Company, types of equipment in use, drawings of equipment and a diagram showing a typical organization for work in an E & M Company. One plate shows the principal electric stations in British Army areas and another illustrates the electric lighting of the Hulluch-Cuinchy subways. This is a comprehensive account.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The idea of forming a Camouflage Section in the BEF was first suggested at GHQ in the winter of 1915, following the success of the work of the French Camouflage Section in Amiens, whose workshop was visited by British officers. The chief means of camouflage was the painted screen, and as a result of a visit to France by a professional artist and his advice, volunteers were called for from the troops in France with experience of theatrical work, such as scenic artists, stage carpenters, workers in cardboard etc. These assembled at St Omer under an officer in January 1916 pending the fitting up of a building in Wimereux. Thus was born the camouflage service. This account goes on to give details of the first establishments and subsequent increases in establishment. The Camouflage Service was represented at GHQ, Army and Corps HQs and depots were set up corps areas and camouflage factories were formed in Army areas. By the time the war ended camouflage was 'big' in France and Flanders as this account reveals. American and French work in this field is also featured as well as German methods. At the end are tables of statistics showing quantities of stores and materials used.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Flooding, or in military terminology 'inundation', formed part of the Belgian defence plan, and in the first three months of the war inundations were formed at Antwerp in accordance with that plan and had some success in interfering with the German advance. The opening of the sea gates at Nieuport, which allowed the tides to flood the country between Nieuport and Dixmude covered the main defensive line in the coastal area right up to the German retreat in 1918. This book provides an account of the use of inundations by the BEF or preparations for their use at the time of the German advance in 1918. It also describes the German use of inundations. For the benefit of the Royal Engineers it gives advice on the information required for forecasting inundations and it lists a number of deductions on their use drawn from the experience of 1914-18. The map is of the Western Front from the North sea down to the Oise (south of St Quentin) illustrating inundation schemes.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This section begins by noting the complete lack of Engineer intelligence regarding the Western Theatre of War before 1914. An old, 1906 report confirmed that the roads in Belgium were paved or macademised, while all it said about the Meuse was that its current was swift in places while its depth was sometimes as much as 45 feet. Not a great deal of use! It then goes on to detail what information was needed and what efforts were made to get it. It also stressed the need for pamphlets and such like material for Stationery Services Publications and keeping them up to date; and fourthly was there was the requirement to obtain information on enemy field engineering methods and disseminate it. This section concludes with a series of appendices showing list of the plates of field work designs, a list of the Engineer-in-Chief's Field-Work notes, Classified index of Mining notes, lists of publications and a list of German field-work plates.…
