  Training for the Trenches A Practical Handbook Based upon Personal Experience During the First Two Years of the War in France

summary:
  It may be desirable to indicate the various kinds of shell fire to which trench men are exposed. From my own experience I could tell of many men who were permanently rendered unfit as soldiers through foolish indulgence.

summary:
  It is noteworthy that Caesar says nothing about coast defences in the form of earthworks, or indeed in any other form, and it is on other grounds improbable that the Britons possessed any provision of that kind against invading enemies, although they themselves lived in stockaded enclosures. In the year 1896 some Roman foundations were accidentally discovered in the western part of the island which, upon examination, appear to have an important bearing on the Roman scheme of coast defence in this part of Britain.

  Figure 49 presents a bird's-eye view of the northern boulevard, D, with the _cité_ front in the background, its gate of the fourteenth century, and the two great corner towers. When these old men are further asked whether there were other human beings before them settled in the valley, they answer that there were; but that they were small men--dwarfs--who ate earth, and had no bows and arrows to kill the wild beasts, nor hooks to catch fish, nor canoes to cross the river; that at the approach of the present inhabitants, these dwarfs disappeared, and took refuge underground, whence they came out sometimes in the night to do mischief--to cut the fastenings of boats, or sink the boats themselves--to cause children at the breast to die, or to break the bows, or warn the animals of the forest of an intended chase, so that they might get out of the way.

  Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons

summary:
  The submarines and near-submarines built in the United States during the Civil War were remarkable rather for what they actually accomplished than for what they contributed towards the development of submarine boats. Perhaps the greatest service which they rendered in the latter direction was that they proved to the satisfaction of many scientific men that submarine boats really held vast possibilities as instruments of naval warfare.
