Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Professional Papers of the Corps of Royal Engineers, Vol. 16: Royal Engineers Institute, Occasional Papers, 1890
Vol. XVI. For 1890, now presented to the Corps, contains papers on most of the branches of the Corps duty, as well as on essentially military subjects. Colonel Savile and Colonel Hutton both treat of the new question of Mobile Infantry in one form or another, while Colonel Rothwell handles the most important subject of Mobilization. Artillery subjects are dealt with in Captain Orde Browne's paper on recent experiments, and Major Savage contri butes a series of Diagrams of Service Ordnance and their Mountings, which are intended as illustrations of the lists of service ordnance which have appeared from time to time in these papers. Major A. R. F. Dorward gives us the results of his experience of what duties the Corps is actually called upon to perform in the numerous small wars in uncivilized regions, which have fallen to the lot of our army in late years.
