An Abridgment of the Regulations for the Formation and Movements of the Cavalry, (as last corrected by the Board), adapted to the Use of Yeomanry Corps. [Second Edition]. IN CONTEMPORARY BINDING WITH NOTABLE LOCAL PROVENANCE

This copy was formerly in the library of Ralph Gillingham of Manor Farm, Pilsdon near Bridport in Dorset, and bears his holograph signature on front free endpaper. Loosely inserted is a holograph letter dated 1915 from a member of the Hannams family (successors of the Gillinghams at Pilsdon) confirming the gift of this copy to Major (later Lt.-Col.) Sir William Colfox . Sir William Philip Colfox, 1st Baronet (1888-1966), educated at Eton and Woolwich, served during the Great War as Major in the Royal Field Artillery. Wounded in 1917, he was awarded the MC and taught classics and mathematics at Eton for the remainder of the conflict. After the war he entered politics as MP first for Dorset North and then Dorset West. In 1920 he served as Minister for Pensions. During WWII he ran the Home Guard in West Dorset and continued to teach classics and mathematics at Colfox School in Bridport. A lovely copy in wholly unrestored contemporary state.

No edition is listed in NUC; BLPC records only the third and fourth editions.

ANCIENT WARFARE A Very Short Introduction

Scholar's name to half-title (Robert Brown). Else fine. ; Greek and Roman warfare was unlike that of any other culture before or since. The key difference is often held to be that the Greeks and Romans practiced a "Western Way of War," in which the aim is an open, decisive battle--won by courage instilled, in part, by discipline. Here, Harry Sidebottom looks at how this Western Way of War was constructed and maintained by the Greeks and Romans and why this concept is so prevalent today. All aspects of ancient warfare are thoroughly examined--from philosophy and strategy to the technical skills needed to fight. Sidebottom examines war in the wider context, showing how wars were able to shape classical society, and how an individual's identity was sometimes constructed by war, as in the case of the Christian soldier fighting in God's name. He also explores the ways in which ancient society thought about conflict: Can a war be just? Why was siege warfare particularly bloody? What role did divine intervention play in the outcome of a battle? Taking fascinating examples from the iliad, Tacitus, and the Persian Wars, Sidebottom uses arresting anecdotes and striking visual images to show that any understanding of ancient war is an ongoing process of interpretation. ; 166 pages
