STUDIES IN LEADING TROOPS. By Colonel Von Verdy Du Vernois. An authorised and accurate Translation by Lieutenant H. J. T. Hildyard, 71st Foot. Parts I. and II. Demy 8vo. Price 7s.
⁂ General Beauchamp Walker says of this work:—“I recommend the first two numbers of Colonel von Verdy’s ‘Studies’ to the attentive perusal of my brother officers. They supply a want which I have often felt during my service in this country, namely, a minuter tactical detail of the minor operations of the war than any but the most observant and fortunately-placed staff-officer is in a position to give. I have read and re-read them very carefully, I hope with profit, certainly with great interest, and believe that practice, in the sense of these ‘Studies,’ would be a valuable preparation for manœuvres on a more extended scale.”—Berlin, June, 1872.
THE SUBSTANTIVE SENIORITY ARMY LIST, Majors and Captains. By Captain F. B. P. White, 1st W. I. Regiment. 8vo, sewed. 2s. 6d.
CAVALRY FIELD DUTY. By Major-General Von Mirus. Translated by Captain Frank S. Russell, 14th (King’s) Hussars. Crown 8vo, limp cloth. 7s. 6d.
⁂ This is the text-book of instruction in the German cavalry, and comprises all the details connected with the military duties of cavalry soldiers on service. The translation is made from a new edition, which contains the modifications introduced consequent on the experiences of the late war. The great interest that students feel in all the German military methods, will, it is believed, render this book especially acceptable at the present time.
