Original WW1 (1918) British Army ORDERS from GHQ "Lewis MG & Light Mortar School"
Gives details of a forthcoming parade for instruction described as "ANTI-AIRCRAFT FIRING and SLING FIRING".
Has been produced on official watermarked 'Kings Crown' Stationery Office' paper (see photo when held up to the light).
It's one of a rare archive of fascinating WW1 documents I will be listing in the coming weeks, many of them marked SECRET.
They relate to various aspects of trench warfare, with emphasis on gas attacks, trench mortars, communications, enemy prisoners, technical weapons specifications etc. They are a mixture of training material, orders and other field documentation. They have survived well, with some areas of rust staining from paper clips and pins due to a century of lying in storage.
Please see my other WW1 (and WW2) documents, maps, photos etc
