    I'll post a bit more of it, but one of the pages of interest is blurred so will try again in a few days.

    I see I confused the date with another document; this is September 1918 which makes the telescope rifle scale of issue even more noteworthy.

    Everything is enumerated, right down to the number of horse shoe nails, so that problem was addressed in due time clearly.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
