Summary "The Bombardier, and Pocket Gunner" by Ralph Willett Adye is a military reference manual written in the early 19th century. This work is intended as a practical guide for junior officers in the Royal Regiment of Artillery, covering essential information about artillery, ammunition, and military operations. The book offers detailed instructions and memorandums that focus on the effective use of artillery in various scenarios, such as field battles, sieges, and defenses. The opening portion of the book introduces its purpose, explaining how the author aimed to create a compact resource that would compile military memorandums for easier reference, primarily targeting junior officers in artillery. Adye expresses the need for such a resource based on his observations of new officers struggling to find necessary information. The preface addresses potential criticisms of the work, noting its limitations and the careful selection of content intended to aid experienced military personnel rather than novices. Additionally, the opening includes a comprehensive index, ensuring clarity and organization for the readers as they navigate through diverse subjects related to artillery and military logistics.
