  • The Pistol in British Military Service During the Great War
    Centre for First World War Studies The Pistol in British Military Service during the Great War A dissertation submitted by David Thomas (SRN 592736) in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA in British First World War Studies September 2010 1 Contents Introduction 3 Current Literature Review 3 Questions to be Addressed 5 Chapter One-Use and Issue 6 Chapter Two-Technique and Training 11 Accessories 14 Ammunition 16 Chapter Three-Procurement 18 History 18 Army Procurement 19 Royal Navy Procurement 23 Private Purchase 24 Overall Numbers 26 Conclusions. 26 Bibliography 28 Appendix 33 Acknowledgements 37 All rights reserved. No part of this work may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the written permission of the author. 2 Introduction The British military services made considerable use of pistols during the Great War but it is evident that there is widespread ignorance and poor literary coverage of the weapons and their use. It is proposed to examine the pistol in British military service in the Great War, covering issue and use, technique and training, and procurement. Approximately half a million pistols were procured during the war, making it one of the numerically most widely issued weapons. A number of Corps, including the Machine Gun Corps, Tank Corps, and Royal Flying Corps were issued pistols as personal weapons, as well as extensive distribution in other arms. It is known that pistol use was widespread in trench warfare and critical on occasions. Decorations, including several Victoria Crosses, are recorded as being won by men using them aggressively.
