A Treatise Upon the Duties of Light Troops by Colonel von EhwaldTwenty-Three Years Practice and Observations with Rifle Guns by Ezekiel BakerAn iconic weapon and the soldiers who carried itThis remarkable and unique Leonaur edition comprises two vital accounts; one concerning the development of the military rifle in the British Army and the other a treatise on the formation and operational activities of the light troops who employed it and who made both the rifle and themselves famous. The treatise, translated from the original German, is the work of Colonel von Ehwald and is essentially a guide book for the conduct of the petit guerre-the skirmishing combat the riflemen and other light infantry knew. Ehwald also covers the activities of light cavalry. This is very far from being simply a military instruction manual because the author was no mere theorist.
