Trench fighting pocket notebooks of Charles W. Carr (4)

Sample pages from two Trench Warfare and Bombing pocket notebooks completed by Charles W. Carr, one is actually marked L. Cpl CW Carr, so these are probably prior to becoming a Sergeant. The writing is very neat and illustrated with colour sketches and show how to instruct men in various skills. The trainer's comments are annotated in red ink. The pages copied include: Musketry; Rapid Loading; Rapid Fire; Trench fighting; Formation of grenade party [for raiding enemy trenches], and how to progress down a hostile trench; and the Mk I (Mills - Lemon) bomb. From other notes/certificates in the collection these courses were probably completed in France in 1916.

Part of large collection of photos and memoribilia relating to Serjeant 3091 (later 240965) Charles Woodward Carr, 2/5th Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment - kept by Mrs Gill Porter and Mr Tony Carr of their father.

Charles W. Carr完成的两本战壕战与轰炸袖珍笔记本的样本页。其中一本明确标注有L. Cpl CW Carr字样（L. Cpl即下士（Lance Corporal）），因此这些笔记可能是在他晋升为中士之前完成的。笔记字迹工整，配有彩色素描插图，内容涉及如何教授士兵掌握多种技能。训练教官的评语用红墨水标注。复制的页面内容包括：射击术、快速装弹、快速射击、战壕作战、手榴弹小队组建（用于突袭敌方战壕）、如何在敌方战壕中推进，以及Mk I型（Mills-Lemon式）手榴弹。根据该藏品集中的其他笔记和证书，这些课程很可能于1916年在法国完成。

该内容是与格洛斯特郡团第2/5营中士（Sergeant）Charles Woodward Carr（编号3091，后改为240965）相关的大量照片与纪念品藏品的一部分，由其子女Gill Porter夫人和Tony Carr先生保管。
