A primer for officers based on the author's notes for his promotion exam: "As... he was successful on that occasion, it is hoped that they may be of use to other candidates." Useful account of the opening campaign: Mons, Le Cateau, Retreat from Mons & the Marne (including comments on matter such as "mis-use of German mobile troops") to which another hand (unidentified but for initials AJS) has added a note: "A useful 'aid' but insufficient in itself for Exam purposes - Beware of the omissions, some of which are noted in the text." AJS's five or six corrections/observations are present. Orig. printed wraps., edges & sp. neatly repaired with archival tape, VG thus & very scarce. See illustration on our website.
