[Transcriber's note: Obvious printer's errors have been corrected.
Hyphenation and accentuation have been standardised, all
other inconsistencies are as in the original. The author's spelling
has been maintained.

Page 365, 299 mm. is probably an error for .299-in.

Page 399, "could reach effectively the trenches of the
Russians" should probably be "could reach effectively the trenches of the
Austrians".]
