Marriott Smith\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the author says this history, published a year before the outbreak of the Great War, has been written for the soldiers of the battery, past, present and future. It is written in the form of a yearly diary with the year in the left margin, opposite the text describing events of that year. Some entries are very thin, a couple of lines, but other years have a more detailed story to tell - 1808\/09 Corunna, 1855 the Crimea, and 1899-1901 the S African War where the years are divided into months. But with only 40-odd pages of narrative covering over 150 years there is not too much space for detail, but a great deal of attention is paid to dress details and to any changes; nor are equipment replacements and changes to organization and establishments overlooked.. There are four useful appendices: Battery movements and stations from 1795 to 1913; Battery establishments - officers, NCOs, men and animals from 1759 to 1913; Daily rate of pay of various ranks, majors down to drivers, from 1759 to 1913; succession of battery commanders from 1764 to 1912. These appendices make this little history a very valuable source\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.14 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 11, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49982797250715,"sku":"9781845740498","price":19.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4602\/1275\/files\/wdr4KK1VTA9781845740498.webp?v=1793293082","url":"https:\/\/www.statesideqm.com\/products\/history-of-the-13th-battery-royal-field-artillery-from-1759-to-1913-paperback","provider":"Stateside Quartermaster, Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
