(More customer reviews)Despite some imperfections of style and editing, which may be accounted for by the fact that the author was more concerned about doing a job effectively rather than with the finer points of authorship and literary presentation - this is a key work on the emergence of sniping among the British and their allies in the first world war, in response to highly effective German sniper units, and on the contribution that was made by men (enlisted and officers) who had a background in hunting and rifle shooting for precision accuracy. As a historical record it is essential, along with McBride's "A Rifleman Went to War". It may also be seen in context if read alongside Capt. Clifford Shore's "With British Snipers to the Reich", which continues the history of sniping through the second world war, and shows its second resurgence in this century. A book of great importance and practical value to military historians, modern soldiers, target shooters and those who hunt wild game animals.
