- “After completing and publishing my “Operation Orders” in the autumn of 1909, I was requested by various comrades to treat the subject of “The Battle of Encounter” in a like matter. I have undertaken this task the more readily as our new Regulations devote a great deal of space to the battle of encounter, and it has become a recognized form of fighting together with attack and defence on a wide front.”

- Helpful Information for all customers:-
- We list items every Sunday, running from 14.00 to 20.00h, UK time.
- The listings follow a sequence of uniforms/hardware/posters/maps, followed by military history books, military training manuals/pamphlets/handbooks/photos listed in date order. The best way of viewing items is to sort by ‘Ending Soonest’ so that related items will appear together.
- We always combine postage and always charge postage at cost.
- Royal Mail charges for postage in weight bands, so multiple items can often be posted for the price of one.
- With buy-it-now listings, the buyer has to pay the postage for each item, but we will always combine the postage and make a refund via eBay.
- For simplicity, the cost for international postage given in the listings is an over-estimate based on the furthest possible destination. Actual postage will always be charged at cost.
- If concerned, please ask for the postage cost to a specific destination.
- Invoicing is done at the end of the last listing at 20.00h on Sunday. If buying several items, or buying for shipment overseas, it is best to wait for an accurate invoice after 20.00h.
- If you choose not to wait, we will still refund excess postage when the item is actually posted.
