British artillery manuals
Permalink   

I currently have manuals in .pdf file format for the following WW1 British artillery pieces - some I can e-mail, others will require putting on a CD and posting out. Please let me know if any of them are of interest.

10 pounder mountain gun

3.7 inch mountain gun

2.95 inch mountain gun

13 pounder field gun

18 pounder field gun

18 pounder field gun Mk IV (late WW1 version, believe one battery saw service in France before the armistice)

4.5 inch field howitzer

Hello!

I'm interested in the manual of 4.5inch howitzer. Many of this kind of guns were supplied to China by Soviet Union in 1938-39 and maybe I'll build a large scale model for it in the future.
My e-mail address is njtonychen@163.com.

P.S. I would like to ask if any British 4.5 inch howitzer had pneumatic tires during WW1? Some 4.5 inch howitzers in Chinese service had pneumatic tires, maybe this was an adaptation made by the Russians or Chinese?

Pneumatic tyres are a post WW1 modification forced by the motorization of the artillery. Wooden wheels could only be towed at low speed (<10 kph).

Regards,

Charlie

Have managed to put all manuals online via a sharing service but you need to register for free and me to send you the link, so let me know if interested.

Afraid don't have anything on the 4 inch and 6 inch naval guns

If you're after drawings of the 15 Pounder then Len Trawin's book "Early British Quick Firing Artillery" has accurate drawings

of the 15 Pounder.

Regards,

Charlie
