Description
 
Spiral Bound, 120 Pages.

When war broke out in August 1914, Britain almost immediately found itself subject to a new kind of warfare, that attack from the air.
Incredibly, in some of the earliest encounters combatants exchanged fire using pistols and zeppelins were met with double-barrelled shotguns.
There was also a desperate need for basic military equipment to arm the rapidly expanding volunteer army in response to Lord Kitchener's "Your country needs you" campaign.
In particular there was a shortage of pistols for other forces, both Land and Sea, and as the war developed, a need for a light machine-gun that could be carried into battle.
