‎Basic Field Manual Volume I Field Service Pocketbook Chapter 8 Defense Against Chemical Attack‎

‎Washington DC: United States Government Printing Office 1938. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Good. v 1 96 2 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Tabular Data. Index. The cover has some wear and soiling. Chemical warfare is different from the use of conventional weapons or nuclear weapons because the destructive effects of chemical weapons are not primarily due to any explosive force. The offensive use of living organisms such as anthrax is considered biological warfare rather than chemical warfare; however the use of nonliving toxic products produced by living organisms e.g. toxins such as botulinum toxin ricin and saxitoxin is considered chemical warfare under the provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention CWC. Under this convention any toxic chemical regardless of its origin is considered a chemical weapon unless it is used for purposes that are not prohibited an important legal definition known as the General Purpose Criterion. About 70 different chemicals have been used or were stockpiled as chemical warfare agents during the 20th century. The entire class known as Lethal Unitary Chemical Agents and Munitions has been scheduled for elimination by the CWC. Among the topics addressed are Chemical Warfare Chemical Agent Military Training Chemical Land Mines Chemical Agents Gas Mask Protective Clothing Shelter Gas Alarms Decontamination First Aid Tactical Protection. It was not until the 19th century that the modern conception of chemical warfare emerged as various scientists and nations proposed the use of asphyxiating or poisonous gasses. Fritz Haber is considered the "father of chemical warfare" for his years of pioneering work developing and weaponizing chlorine and other poisonous gases during World War I. Multiple international treaties were passed banning chemical weapons based upon the alarm of nations and scientists. This however did not prevent the extensive use of chemical weapons in World War I. Chlorine gas among other chemicals was used by both the Allied and Central powers to try to break the stalemate of trench warfare. In most cases the gasses used did not kill but instead incapacitated or caused permanent or temporary injuries. Historians have reached a wide range of estimates on gas casualties ranging from 500k to 1.3 million casualties directly caused by chemical warfare agents during the course of the war of which 2-4% died. A minimum of around 1300 civilians were injured due to the use of the weapons and at least around 4000 were injured during weapon production. Gas casualties were a small fraction of the overall human impact of the war but the horrifying effects of such weapons gave them a strong psychological impact. The interwar years saw the occasional use of chemical weapons during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War by the Italians while the Japanese made use of chloroacetophenone to suppress a native rebellion in Formosa in 1930 and later made use of mustard gas lewisite and irritant agents during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Chinese often lacking protective gear such as gas masks were usually forced to retreat against CW attacks. Although significant effort went into the development and stockpiling of chemical weapons in World War II they saw no battlefield use in the European Theater. Nazi Germany dedicated much research to the development of nerve agents but never used them even during the final defense of the fatherland. It has been suggested that Adolf Hitler's own experience with poison gas during WWI and fears that the Allies would retaliate with their own chemical weapons were the main reasons. According to military historian Ian V. Hogg the Germans were reluctant to use nerve agents since they couldn't find any defense or antidote for them. They also feared that the ban on scientific journals about organophosphates in Britain meant that the Allies also discovered nerve agents. In reality they were unaware of the G-series until an ammunition dump captured in April 1945 was examined while the ban on scientific publications was meant to prevent Axis nations from learning about advances on the development of insecticides and herbicides to boost food production; nonetheless the Allies made comprehensive plans for defensive and retaliatory use of chemical weapons and stockpiled large quantities.

‎Manuscript Letter from General Andrew Porter to Captain William W. Averell.‎

‎<p>Folded letter sheet 2 1/2 pages of text with original mailing envelope no stamp. Light wear normal aging legible hand; overall near fine. General Andrew Porter 1820-1872 was born in Pennsylvania and was the grandson of Revolutionary War General Andrew Porter. Porter was also related to Mary Todd Lincoln. He served in the Mexican War and was a Brigadier General at the Battle of Bull Run. Porter was appointed Provost Marshall General of the Army of the Potomac in 1862 and left the service in 1864 for health reasons. This letter to Captain William Averell appears to be written in somewhat secretive style. He tells Averell to mail a letter to a Mrs. P. that is under a newspaper. " I will return when it is safe to leave Mrs. P. or sooner if pub." He tells the captain to "please telegraph me at once if anything of importance turns up or I am needed with the command." He goes on to tell Averell keep the s pol.service with us. Much reputation is to be gained by carrying it on or aiding it successfully. This is probably a reference to the Secret Police that was headed by Allan Pinkerton at that time and who were very busy hunting down Confederate spies at that time. He also talks a little about other military matters including a troop build-up in Philadelphia. find a grave website.</p>‎

Front cover has wear and soiling and is stamped Ordnance School Small Arms. The was printed by the Publications Department at Raritan Arsenal. A second edition was apparently issued on April 13 1942. Other editions were apparently issued in 1944 and 1951 Korean War era. Consequently relatively few of this initial edition are believed to have survived. Ordnance is another word for military supplies like guns rockets or armor. The word ordinance for “command†lost an i in the 1500’s and became ordnance meaning “military materials.†Ordnance helps soldiers fight and protect them. This manual has the following Sections: General; Cleaners and abrasives; Preservatives; Paints and related materials; Lubricants; Fluids for recoil mechanisms and hydraulic Jacks; Welding brazing soldering and cutting materials and Miscellaneous. The purpose of this manual was to present information to the using arms and services concerning the characteristics application and handling of cleaning preserving lubrications welding brazing cutters and other materials issued by the Ordnance Department and listed in SNL's K-1 and K-2. Information and direction herein superseded those given in TR 1395-A or in the various Ordnance Field Service circulars published prior to the publication of this manual and dealing with materials within its scope/ These regulations cover materials listed in par. 1. b. that are issued by the Ordnance Department for use on or with ordnance material. The use of materials other than those authorized for the specific purposes mentioned was strictly forbidden. The Raritan Arsenal originally known as the Raritan River Ordnance Base was established in 1917 in preparation for the United States' entry into World War I. The Arsenal initially a 2150 acre complex with 275 buildings 52 miles of railroad six miles of concrete roads and water access to the Raritan River played a key role in the transport of war materials to both Allied and American armed forces in Europe during World War I. The installation served as a major East Coast storage and transshipment center for munitions an assembly/repair facility for motorized ordnance equipment and an ordnance training camp for 20000 American soldiers. As the United States entered World War II the Arsenal retained and expanded these vital functions and reactivated the ordnance training unit. War Department paperback‎

Staple bound and also stapled near spine left side. The Browning Automatic Rifle BAR is a family of American automatic rifles and machine guns used by the United States and numerous other countries during the 20th century. The primary variant of the BAR series was the M1918 chambered for the .30-06 Springfield rifle cartridge and designed by John Browning in 1917 for the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe as a replacement for the French-made Chauchat and M1909 Benét–Mercié machine guns that US forces had previously been issued. The BAR was designed to be carried by infantrymen during an assault advance while supported by the sling over the shoulder or to be fired from the hip. This is a concept called "walking fire"—thought to be necessary for the individual soldier during trench warfare. The US Army in practice used the BAR as a light machine gun often fired from a bipod introduced on models after 1938. A variant of the original M1918 BAR the Colt Monitor Machine Rifle remains the lightest production automatic firearm chambered for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge though the limited capacity of its standard 20-round magazine tended to hamper its utility in that role. Although the weapon did see some action in World War I the BAR did not become standard issue in the US Army until 1938 when it was issued to squads as a portable light machine gun. The BAR saw extensive service in both World War II and the Korean War and saw limited service in the Vietnam War. The purpose of these regulations is to furnish suitable instructions for the shop repair inspection and maintenance of the Browning automatic rifle caliber .30 M1918 and the Browning machine rifle caliber .30 M1922 and their accessories.

The M2 machine gun or Browning .50 caliber machine gun informally "Ma Deuce" is a heavy machine gun that was designed near the end of World War I by John Browning. While similar to Browning's earlier M1919 Browning machine gun which was chambered for the .30-06 cartridge the M2 uses Browning's larger and more powerful .50 BMG cartridge. The design has had many designations; the official U.S. military designation for the current infantry type is Browning Machine Gun Cal. .50 M2 HB Flexible. It is effective against infantry unarmored or lightly armored vehicles and boats light fortifications and low-flying aircraft. The gun has been used extensively as a vehicle weapon and for aircraft armament by the United States since the 1930s. It was heavily used during World War II the Korean War the Vietnam War the Falklands War the Soviet–Afghan War the Gulf War the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan. At the outbreak of the Second World War the United States had versions of the M2 in service as fixed aircraft guns anti-aircraft defensive guns on aircraft ships or boats infantry tripod-mounted guns and as dual purpose anti-aircraft and anti-vehicular weapons on vehicles. These regulations were intended for the Air Corps and all personnel charged with the maintenance of this materiel.

The M1917 Browning machine gun is a heavy machine gun used by the United States armed forces in World War I World War II the Korean War and the Vietnam War; it has also been used by other nations. It was a crew-served belt-fed water-cooled machine gun that served alongside the much lighter air-cooled Browning M1919. It was used at the battalion level and often mounted on vehicles such as a jeep. There were two main iterations: the M1917 which was used in World War I and the M1917A1 which was used thereafter. The M1917 which was used on some aircraft as well as in a ground role had a cyclic rate of 450 rounds per minute. The M1917A1 had a cyclic rate of 450 to 600 rounds per minute.

Front page worn torn soiled and chipped. Staple bound and also stapled near spine left side. Additional staple holes present may have been stapled to other military documents. The M1921 Browning machine gun was a water-cooled .50-caliber machine gun designed by John Moses Browning which entered production in 1929. From 1917 to 1918 he developed the prototype Browning Winchester Cal.50 caliber heavy machine gun. It was developed from a water-cooled .30 caliber M1917 Browning machine gun. Machine guns were heavily used in World War I and weapons of larger than rifle caliber began appearing on both sides of the conflict. The larger rounds were needed to defeat the armor that was being introduced to the battlefield both on the ground and in the air. During World War I the Germans introduced a heavily armored airplane the Junkers J.I. Consequently the American Expeditionary Force's commander General John J. Pershing asked for a larger caliber machine gun. Pershing asked the Army Ordnance Department to develop a machine gun with a caliber of at least 0.50 inches and a muzzle velocity of at least 2700 feet per second. Around July 1917 John M. Browning started redesigning his .30-06 M1917 machine gun for a larger and more powerful round. In order to adapt his machine gun to .50 cal Browning had to introduce a proper hydraulic recoil buffer as well as breech block cushioning. Both the US Army and the US Navy adopted the M1921 after World War I. These regulations were published for the information and guidance of the using arms. They contain descriptions and figures; also necessary instructions in the proper methods of adjustment disassembling assembling and care of the material.
