Deerhunting skills in the trenches: Sniping in France, 1915-1918

Описание: All sides brought their big-game hunting skills to the trenches of the First World War. The Germans dominated sniping for the first months of the war. On the British side, Major Hesketh Prichard set up the First Army's sniping school at Linghem, training troops from all over the world in sniping skills. In this film, Prichard's great grandson Charlie Jacoby looks at First World War Sniping, the skills and the human cost.
