Sniping in France: With notes on the scientific training of scouts, observers, and snipers

Written by the adventurer and big-game hunter who developed and ran it, this is an account of the British Army sniping programme in France in World War I. At the start of the war, Germany's edge in the sniping duel cost thousands of British casualties, and the book explains the methods Hesketh-Pritchard used to reverse the situation and help win the sniping war.
