For anyone wanting to get a sense of what it was like to train and operate as a sniper during the Great War 1914-1918, a must read is Sniping in France 1914-18 by Major H. Hesketh-Prichard DSO, MC. ISBN: 1874622477.

FYI. I don't know where I read it, maybe here?? maybe a WW1 website, but I read that book front to back without stopping. Great reading!
