My Dad was a BSM with 2nd Field (Montreal) after WWII & as a kid I was fascinated & wore out his copy. Found another copy a few years ago but am delighted to find this version in PDF. Cheers! "SgtBob" Royal Canadian Hussars (Montreal) '72-'74, CAF Intelligence Branch '77-'93

Thanks for posting this.
Dad was a WW2 vintage soldier and I learned to shoot with this book.
Had not seen it in many years.
Cheers,
