Bayonet Training for Allied Armies in the First World War-Four Manuals for Infantry Soldiers of the

This unique Leonaur volume brings together four interesting training manuals for infantry in close combat with the bayonet during the First World War. The first is a Canadian publication, the second and third American, whilst the fourth concerns the British Army. To be clear, there are inevitably similarities between the methods described in these manuals. However, for any reader requiring information reliably attributable to a particular army of this period these publications provide clarity and verification. All the texts are accompanied by numerous line drawing or photographs. Particular attention is paid to fighting at close quarters with an enemy within a trench system. These manuals will be of use to illustrators, military modellers for dioramas and figures, military re-enactors, museums and theatre and film production companies.

Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
