British Army field manuals have been around since the 18th century and in a recognisable form since the Victorian era. They were often initially printed in small pocket-sized books with red covers. The first ones tended to cover the various branches of the army including cavalry tactics, infantry training, military engineering, artillery training etc. By the time of the First World War as well as the standard issue field manuals such as the Infantry Training Manual of 1914, you also had more specialised ones such as map reading, musketry regulations, Webley service revolver guide, Royal Flying Corps RFC training and weapons manuals such as for the Vickers Machine Gun.
