Two WW1 Field Message Books written mainly in ink by 1st Lieutenant B.L. Curtis of the British Army during May 1918. The first book with no cover starts on May 6th 1918 and is completely filled with mainly training notes on various subjects including map reading, automatic rifle, machine gun, messages and reports, 37mm gun, etc, etc. The second book in the cover carries on from the first book on May 23rd 1918 through to May 28th 1918. It is difficult to say if the training was done in England or actually in the trenches on the Western Front as there is too much to read
