Transcriber's note: Obvious printer's errors have been corrected. Hyphenation and accentuation have been standardised, all other inconsistencies are as in the original. The author's spelling has been maintained.
Page 365, 299 mm. is probably an error for .299-in.
Page 399, "could reach effectively the trenches of the Russians" should probably be "could reach effectively the trenches of the Austrians".
