Description
This book is an in-depth study of the Lewis Gun on the Western Front (France and Flanders) in the latter half of the First World War. Constructed as a ‘capability primer’ it uses a reworked version of Rich’s research method of ‘TEPIDOIL’ to analyse the Lewis gun’s role. This covers:
- Equipment – what did Lewis gunners need?
- Personnel – who were they and where did they come from?
- Training – how were they trained?
- Doctrine, including tactics – how did they fight?
- Information – what did they need to know?
- Organisation – how were they structured?
- Logistics – how did the people and equipment get to where they needed to fight?
- Infrastructure – where was their equipment built and where were they trained?
This is an A5 book of 76 inner pages with a mix of colour detail recreated pictures and picked original photographs from the First World War.
