Final Jeopardy Explanation
Elements of Trench Warfare by William Waldron is a book that has “been prepared with a view to placing before the soldier a store of information on the subject of Trench Warfare as it has been developed on the battle fronts of Europe, and giving him some idea of the nature of the service that he will be called upon to perform when the time arrives for him to do his bit”, according to its introduction.
