PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Method of Imparting Military Instruction to
Soldiers.
$
I, CARRÉ FULTON of 25 The Common, Ealing, in the County of Middlesex,
Lieutenant Colonel, retired do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to an improved method of imparting instructions to
soldiers in such branches of military art as they are required to be cognizant of.
For this purpose I print the instructions, together with certain diagrams in
connection with, or illustrative of, the new Lee Metford magazine rifle, Marks
one and two, as recently adopted by the Horse Guards for the British Army;
upon woven material, in such a form that it may be used as a pocket handkerchief,
whereby the attention of the user will be constantly directed to the printed matter
thereon, whilst the article itself will be durable, and if lost or destroyed, is sure
to be replaced as soon as possible, thereby presenting a great advantage over the
book or pamphlet form which has hitherto been adopted.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Method of Imparting Military Instruction to
Soldiers.
I, CARRÉ FULTON, of 25 The Common, Ealing, in the County of Middlesex,
Lieutenant Colonel-retired, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to an improved method of imparting instructions to
soldiers in such branches of military art as they are required to be cognizant of.
For this purpose I print the instructions together with certain diagrams in
connection with or illustration of the new Lee-Metford magazine rifle Marks one
and two as recently adopted by the Horse Guards for the British Army; upon
woven material in such a form that it may be used as a pocket handkerchief
whereby the attention of the user will be constantly directed to the printed matter
thereon whilst the article itself will be durable and if lost or destroyed is sure
to be replaced as soon as possible thereby presenting a great advantage over the
book or pamphlet form which has hitherto been adopted.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have hereto
annexed a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof.
The handkerchief may be of any suitable size and material, the centre portion a
being occupied by details of the rifle and ammunition of the new Lee-Metford
magazine rifle as recently adopted by the Horse Guards for the British Army, to
which may be added letters of reference and the names of the various parts.
Around this may be arranged diagrams shewing the bayonet exercise (the engage
being illustrated in the accompanying drawing), the musical drill and the trumpet
calls with which it is advisable that the user should be acquainted; also
instructions in signalling, and drawings illustrative of the attitude to be taken up,
or precautions to be observed by the soldier when left to his own resources,
such drawings being further explained by means of printed matter " apropos
__n
"

page_text: thereof, which printed matter may be inserted around the outer margin of the hand-
kerchief. I do not, of course limit myself to any particular arrangement or
selection of matter as the subject is obviously capable of being treated in a great
variety of ways, but―
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what_I
claim is :-
The method of imparting military instructions to infantry, herein described and
partially illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
