Trench fighting pocket notebooks of Charles W. Carr (3)

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.

本数据集包含查尔斯·W·卡尔（Charles W. Carr）填写的两本《堑壕战与投弹训练》袖珍笔记的内页样本，其中一册标注有"L. Cpl CW Carr"字样，据此可推断其创作时间早于卡尔晋升中士之时。笔记字迹工整，配有彩色手绘插图，系统讲解了各类士兵训练技能的教学流程；训练教官的批注以红色墨水书写。本次复制的内页涵盖步枪射击术、快速装弹、速射战术、堑壕作战、（用于突袭敌军堑壕的）掷弹小队编组、沿敌军堑壕推进的方法，以及Mk I型（米尔斯-莱蒙）手榴弹的相关内容。根据该藏品中的其他笔记与证书推断，相关训练课程应完成于1916年的法国战场。
该藏品为隶属于格洛斯特郡团第2/5营、原编号3091（后更改为240965）的查尔斯·伍德沃德·卡尔（Charles Woodward Carr）的大量照片与纪念遗物的组成部分，由其子女吉尔·波特夫人与托尼·卡尔先生保管。
