Publisher's Preface: "This work was originally published in 1902 in France as 'Comparative Studies of Field Equipment of the Foot Soldier of the French and Foreign Armies'. The English translation, issued as U.S. War Department Document No.259 in 1906, was revised by American military attaches to reflect any changes from the original edition. Since England was the only major power to change its field equipment after 1906, the publishers have added 'The Pattern 1908 Web Infantry Equipment' regulation to make this new edition as comprehensive as possible. 'Field Equipment of the European Foot Soldier' reflects basic infantry equipment in use at the beginning of World War I."
