The first document shows what they learned and how they would adjust for future battles. Prepared for and distributed to regimental and battalion commanders of the A. E. F.
"Lieut. Howard Caulkins" penned at top edge of front cover in a contemporaneous hand, with "Received / 24 Aug 1918 / 1st Corps Schools" stamped at lower fore corner of front cover.
