Commissioned RE Special Reserve in 1910, Foot served with 10th Fd Coy. Nov. 1914, 2nd Ypres &c., later adjt. 21st Div. RE on the Somme, where he was impressed by tanks, & transferred to the Tank Corps Central Workshops, later became Brigade Major, 2nd Bde. Tank Corps at Cambrai &c. then GSO II under Fuller at the War Office ("I had known Fuller in France, & he selected me to be his GSO2 & personal assistant... I became editor, contributor, proof-reader & distributor of 'Weekly Tank Notes'"). Valuable account of work in the Tank Corps in France. Orig. black cloth, gilt, sp. sunned o/w VG & considered to be the best, as revised, edition, but note, certain passages concerning the Battle of Cambrai were cut (for reasons unknown to me) so a serious student of Cambrai & tank warfare should read both editions.
