This is a pictorial (there are photos, drawings and diagrams on every page) manual of basic battle training with rifles for infantrymen in 1944 in the latter sages of the Second World War. Originally restricted in circulation, its aim is to enable soldiers to acquire complete mastery over their weapons in action. It shows how rifles are to be handled by day and night; at rest or in movement, and shows a series of physical exercise by which complete facility with the weapon can be achieved.
