Rifle and Riflemen: Two Works on the Development of Light Troops, Their Operations & Weapons (Ehwald Colonel Von)(Pevná vazba)

A Treatise Upon the Duties of Light Troops
by Colonel von Ehwald Twenty-Three Years Practice and Observations with Rifle Guns
by Ezekiel Baker An iconic weapon and the soldiers who carried it This remarkable and unique Leonaur edition comprises two vital accounts; one concerning the development of the military rifle in the British Army and the other a treatise on the formation and operational activities of the light troops who employed it and who made both the rifle and themselves famous. The treatise, translated from the original German, is the work of Colonel von Ehwald and is essentially a guide book for the conduct of the petit guerre-the skirmishing combat the riflemen and other light infantry knew. Ehwald also covers the activities of light cavalry. This is very far from being simply a military instruction manual because the author was no mere theorist.
