Subject: Manuals to bring

I typically carry an extra haversack which contains various paperwork items and manuals. I don't see much point in me bringing my copies of PIE, Pickets, Guides Posts, Field Manual (Coppee), Kautz, Mahan, Hardee vol's I & II, Butterfield and et cetera if others in the company are also bring these or similar books.

Let's try to pool some of the information instead of each of us carrying a personal library.

I'm not going to carry either of Dom's books. Dave Z, our intrepid regimental left guide, has borrowed my copy of PIE for his intensive study so he can carry it for me. I won't bring Dom's other manual.

I'll have copies of Guides Posts on me for sale, plus a box full of Guides Posts which I'm selling at the sutlers. I also have pamphlets which contain only the skirmish drill. I made a bunch of them earlier this year but they just didn't sell. Now's the time.

I'm happy to bring Coppee as it was mentioned by the big bugs in one of the recent drill orders. It's quite a good book for battalion and brigade manoeuvers.

Kautz: no.

Mahan: no.

Hardee's I, II: no.

Butterfield: maybe. It's small and has useful info.

On my palm, I've got copies of: Hardee Revised I & II; Casey I; Gilham I; Scott III; Kautz NCO; Guides Posts and a few others. So, if you want to know something obscure from any of the above manuals, I've likely got the answer. You'll just have to wait a few seconds while I turn my back for the answer.
