Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of Rail-Power: In War and Conquest, 1833 1914; With a Bibliography The extent to which railways are being used in the present War of the Nations has taken quite by surprise a world whose military historians, in their accounts of what armies have done or have failed to do on the battle-field in the past, have too often disregarded such matters of detail as to how the armies got there and the possible effect of good or defective transport conditions, including the maintenance of supplies and communications, on the whole course of a campaign. In the gigantic struggle now proceeding, these matters of detail are found to be of transcendant importance. The part which railways are playing in the struggle has, indeed - in keeping with the magnitude of the struggle itself - assumed proportions unexampled in history. Whilst this is so it is, nevertheless, a remarkable fact that although much has been said as to the conditions of military unpreparedness in which the outbreak of hostilities in August, 1914, found the Allies, there has, so far as I am aware, been no suggestion of any inability on the part of the railways to meet, at once, from the very moment war was declared, all the requirements of military transport. In this respect, indeed, the organisation, the preparedness, and the efficiency throughout alike of the British and of the French railways have been fully equal to those of the German railways themselves.

Book Synopsis An Historical Technical Biography of the Twenty-First Engineers, Light Railway by : United States Army Corps of Engi Regt

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Technical Biography of the Twenty-First Engineers, Light Railway: United States Army Hiram J. Slifer, Lieutenant-Colonel and father of the 21st Regiment of Engineers, a man of many noble qualities and excellent gifts, was respected, admired and loved by all who served with him. This book, which aims to be a faithful record of a work and life over which he presided and in which he was the outstanding and most interesting figure, is offered in genuine humility and love as an imperfect but not unfitting tribute to his memory. Although sixty years of age, when the youth of America began its crusade against a mighty revival of barbarism, Colonel Slifer was among the first to volunteer and be accepted for service. His place was with the youth of the world. Despite the encroaching years, life was still a great adventure; a noble cause fanned his enthusiasm to a roaring flame, and there was in him an unusual capacity for self-forgetfulness and sacrifice which often fell little short of prodigality. He had passed the ambush of young days, the dull, prosaic middle years, yet his ideals were fresh and strong, and belonged peculiarily to the springtime of life. He recognized no limits to his capacity for work and endurance. The hardships of war were accepted as a matter of course. It was often suggested to him that he might spare himself without detriment to the service, but these suggestions he quietly ignored. Apparently unconscious that even industry must pay tribute to advancing years, he was steadily and always working at a pace with which younger men could not keep up without extraordinary efforts. The passing years had left their marks upon his person, but in all things of the spirit he was as young as any man in the regiment. Though this persistent youthfulness was a striking quality of the man, there was also a force of mind and character which showed plainly that sixty years rich in experience had not been passed in vain. He was youthful, beautifully so, nevertheless a fine example for ripe manhood, strong and intelligent. He commanded that force of will which binds various elements together into a whole and surmounting obstacles drives a difficult task to successful completion. In two great American offensives, he had actual command in the field of all light railway operations. The task of constructing and operating these roads was a difficult one. In the peculiar circumstances success depended upon character as well as knowledge and experience. It was Colonel Slifer's masterly will together with his wide knowledge and long experience of railroad work which finally crowned the labors of the regiment with so large a measure of success that it called forth many expressions of appreciation from the higher authorities. His fine intelligence showed itself in ways too numerous to mention here, but in none more strikingly than the excellent tact he showed in dealing with the officers and men who worked under him. His requirements were high and hard to fulfill, his own indefatigable industry was his standard for others. He was severe on those whose work did not measure up to what he expected, and he had little patience even for the most plausible excuse. On the other hand he took pains to know his men well, and judged accurately what they could do best. He was fond of them and knew how to be a good friend. The result was that among officers and men it was universally agreed that they would rather take a "bawling out" from the "Old Man" than a compliment from any other officer in the army.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Present-Day Warfare: How an Army Trains and Fights Conditions in this war are so different from what had been expected that great changes have been made in tactics. These tactical changes, combined with the use of many new instruments of warfare, have compelled certain changes in organization and a very decided revision of the methods of training the soldier. Advantage has been taken of every modern invention; the greatest scientists of the world have aided in the production of means of offense and defense; only the most exact methods are permissible; the strictest attention is devoted to the most minute details; and the preparation for each contemplated movement must be as nearly perfect as possible.

Those for India are of Baltic timber, creosoted under pressure; in Brazil, and in Canada native timber is used. In India the half-round sleepers are laid round side down. Mr. Wood of Middlesborough has introduced a form of wrought iron sleeper, which is specially adapted for light railways, is very portable, and, at present prices, as cheap as wood. Of this a model is exhibited. The chief difficulty with this light permanent way is to keep the gauge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Working and Management of an English Railway IN the early part of last year I accepted an invitation from the Commandant of the 'royal Engineers at Chatham to lecture at the School of Military Engineering'at the Brompton Barracks upon the subject of The Working of an English (railway. On that occasion. The theme was necessarily approached from the point of view of the utility of the railways in the event of the country being invaded; and although this led up to a description, within certain limits, of the methods of working and managing the railways, there were, of course, many branches of the subject which could not be brought within the scope of an evening's lecture, and would indeed scarcely have interested the audience to whom it was addressed. The lecture, however, in the printed form in which it afterwards appeared, attracted a certain amount of attention on the part of those interested in such matters, which eventually resulted in a suggestion that I should endeavour to deal With the subject in a more comprehensive manner than had previously been contemplated. The result of my attempt (i fear a very inadequate one) to carry out this Suggestion is embodied in the following pages.
