The Young Officer's Guide to Knowledge

By The Senior Major; Fourth Edition, Revised and Enlarged
Harrison & Sons; 45, Pall Mall S.W.; 1915

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS

The G.O.C. writes: "Your little book rivals the official publications. From a long and varied experience, I may say that it contains everything essential for a young officer to know without the useless padding that confuses without instructing. All young officers in my command are lectured once a week by the Senior Major with your little work as text-book, during their first year's service."

From The Military Review : … packed with the concentrated essence of military wisdom." 

The Adjutant writes: "The C.O. wishes to see you at the Orderly Room immediately."
