Sources/Bibliography. Index. From the rear cover: "Before 1914, trench warfare was a kind of fighting unforeseen by the armies of Britain, France and Germany, so none was equipped to fight it. Specialized weapons and equipment were needed for the violent environment of the trenches and these had to be developed and introduced as quickly as possible. In Britain, a plethora of 'inventions' departments sprung up to address the problem. Hand and rifle grenades as well as trench mortars emerged as potent trench weapons. Such weapons had a fundamental impact on the conduct of the fighting in the trenches. Anthony Saunders looks at innovation in the trenches, principally from the British viewpoint, but also describes equipment used by other combatants. He includes weapons and associated equipment designed to overcome the problems of warfare at trench level, and examines some of the unsuccessful ideas that never made it to the Front. Supported by a wealth of contemporary photographs and drawings, the result is a detailed and authoritative insight into the harsh realities of the First World War.". First Paperback Edition. Soft Cover. Original pictorial wraps. x, 174pp..

This text takes a detailed look at innovation in the trenches, principally from the British viewpoint, but also considers equipment used by other combatants. The author includes weapons and associated equipment designed to overcome the problems of trench warfare at trench level, and examines some of the unsuccessful ideas that never made it to the Front. Some of the weapons, like the Livens projector, have remained largely unknown. Anthony Saunders narrative describes each type of equipment, its development and effectiveness, and what the troops at the Front thought of it, as well as official reaction to the weapons. The source material has been drawn from files in the Public Record Office and from UK patents - a rich but little-used source of detailed information about World War I weapons inventions. The ranges of illustrations supporting the text include contemporary photos and detailed drawings.
