This remembrance of sniping on the Western Front during W.W. I was written byMajor H. Hesketh-Pritchard, D.S.O, M.C. (author of Sniping in France 1914-18) and recalls the development and changes of sharp-shooting on both sides during the war. He not only played an active roll sniping but he had also served as an instructor for many of the British Commonwealth, French and American snipers candidates along that front.

"When the sniping was of high class on both sides, all kinds of ruses were employed to get the other side to give a target by various battalions."
