Summary "Sniping in France" by Major H. Hesketh-Prichard is a historical account written during the early 20th century, amidst World War I. The book chronicles the evolution of sniping, scouting, and observation tactics employed by British forces during the war. It provides an insight into the strategic importance of snipers and their training, reflecting the author’s desire to improve military practices based on his firsthand experiences in the trenches. At the start of the text, the author establishes the context of organized sniping, explaining the challenges faced by British forces as they struggled against superior German sniping techniques in the early years of the war. Hesketh-Prichard shares personal memories and observations from his time on the front lines, emphasizing the necessity of sniping for gaining battlefield advantage. He describes the early trials of introducing telescopic sights to British troops and the importance of proper training and knowledge in their use. The narrative captures the urgency of improving sniping capabilities as a means to reduce casualties and enhance the effectiveness of the British military during a pivotal moment in history.
