Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Original black printed green cloth wraps 13x18cm. ix, 37pp including 5 b/w figures + (2)pp b/w photos. Very good with the ink stamp of Major J.A. Robertson, CD, to the front wrap and title page, and his name written at an earlier date to the front as "Cpl Roberston, J.A. - 23 Mar 1961", and numbers and ink stamp to the lower wrap. This self-contained manual was the first and apparently only Part published in a series intended to include Jungle Warfare (II), Mountain Warfare (III), and Warfare in Snow and Ice (IV). Noting that "the majority of the army is drawn from town dwellers", they were intended to supplement two manuals (The Infantry Division in Battle, and The Armoured Division in Battle) "to show how conditions affect the application of principles and require special methods" (Introduction). This draws on experiences in the North African Campaign, and distinguishes between conditions in North Africa, Arabia, Iraq, and Pakistan. Chapters cover desert conditions, organisation and administration, tactical handling, advance, attack, pursuit, defence, and withdrawal. Appendices include notes for drivers, flag signals in the event of lack of wireless communication, and passage through a minefield. Figures show a battalion group in open formation, armoured regimental group moving in open formation, regimental group in harbour, covering force in depth, and traffic control for move forward of armoured division at El Alamein. The photos show dust, sand, water, grit, bog, heat, stones, and mud.

Wraps about very good, spotted, with small area of scuffing to the top front edge, and staples rusted. Interiors very good. This is one in a series of self-contained handbooks (others covered counter-intelligence and military security, intelligence in the field etc). It is signed in the print by the War Office's Permanent Under Secretary of State Eric B.B. Speed on 26 November 1946, and was distributed to All Arms Scale B(1), and Officer Cadet Training Units (OCTUs) Scale III. It details the operation of two branches of Prisoner of War (PW) Intelligence: one to obtain information from enemy PWs and deserters (PW Intelligence (Enemy)); the other to deny information to the enemy from British PWs, escapers and evaders, and recover captured or isolated British or Allied personnel (PW Intelligence (British)). Its need was driven by experiences in WW2. The case of a Canadian PW camp for example found that attempts to convert the Germans to democracy were countered by Nazi efforts to maintain loyalty by sending care packages to their PWs, pressure from "hard-core" PWs connected to Nazi leaders, and prior "intense education", and special instructions on how to act in case of capture (Myers 2013: 239, citing this Manual). Therefore PW Intelligence (Enemy) covered here at much greater length includes principles and organisation of interrogation (distinguishing field from base, major requirements, etc); treatment of prisoners, handling (distinguishing various types of unwounded, wounded, special prisoners, and search of the dead); and evacuation (including circumstances for shoot to kill); variations in procedure from Unit to Army; the Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre; techniques for interrogating enemy prisoners / civilians / civilian refugees; relations with General Support Intelligence (GS(I) responsible for gathering, analysing and disseminating military intelligence); and examination and disposal of documents / captured material. PW Intelligence (British) covers tasks; troop training (in security, escape and evasion); operations by GHQ; and intelligence (on numbers, condition etc of escapers and evaders). The appendix includes a plan of an idealised divisional or corps "cage". It includes a marshalling area for identifying, sorting and counting, separate areas for prisoners interrogated / selected / not selected for interrogation, interrogation rooms or tents screened from view (further from the cage if hessian screens are not available), and administrative area. Sufficient pens are required to separate officers from NCOs and men, and "clean" (ie, available for evacuation) from "dirty" (not available for evacuation). Other appendices include specimen headings for Corps or Army Level Interrogation Reports (pretty much a terms of reference), and extracts from the Geneva Convention (1929) with a list of its signatories. Extremely rare - Worldcat highlights the Canadian connection, recording a single copy at the Canadian Museum of History and Canadian War Museum (OCLC 1232297714), and a Canadian reprint dated November 1946 at the Library and Archives Canada (OCLC 1007487170).
