War Department Notes
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 1:21 am
In the mid 1860's a fortunate event occurred, the vast majority of the activities of the Ordnance Department of the British Empire was captured on paper. That is to say that an immense amount of information in the form of written descriptions, original drawings, official printed reports, circulars, proformas & tables etc were bound together in the shape of 5 handsome leather covered volumes.
- Notes On Small Arms 1866. G.C. Holden, Assistant Superintendent of Stores.
- Notes On Laboratory Course Section A. 1865. G.C. Holden, Assistant Superintendent of Stores.
- Notes On Laboratory Course Section B.C.D. 1865. G.C. Holden, Assistant Superintendent of Stores.
- Notes On Royal Carriage Department. 1866. G.C. Holden, Assistant Superintendent of Stores.
- Notes On Ordnance. G.C. Holden, Assistant Superintendent of Stores.
Plans are being made to reprint these books, most likely in a one off printing.
For more information on the printing and some sample texts see the Enfield section of my web site at:

Please note that I have been lucky enough to be given permission to include some texts on my web site, but have no hand in the reprinting of these books.
