Description

Treatise on Ammunition by the British War Office is a historical military reference detailing the composition, manufacture, storage, and use of ammunition across the British Empire from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. The editions included (1, 2, 4, and 5–8) cover propellants, fuzes, shells, and small arms ammunition, with diagrams, measurements, transportation instructions, and safety guidance. Originally published between 1873 and 1906, these manuals were authoritative guides for military and naval personnel.
