About the Author:
Major Hesketh Vernon Hesketh-Prichard, DSO, MC, FRGS, FZS (17 November 1876 - 14 June 1922) was an explorer, adventurer, big-game hunter and marksman who made a significant contribution to sniping practice within the British Army during the First World War. Concerned not only with improving the quality of marksmanship, the measures he introduced to counter the threat of German snipers were credited by a contemporary with saving the lives of over 3,500 Allied soldiers.
Synopsis:
Written by the adventurer and big-game hunter who developed and ran it, this is an account of the British Army sniping programme in France in World War I. At the start of the war, Germany's edge in the sniping duel cost thousands of British casualties, and the book explains the methods Hesketh-Pritchard used to reverse the situation and help win the sniping war.
