  1. The Royal Flying Corps used the Winchester 1886 (44-90). The Royal Naval Air Service may have used the Winchester 1894.

  4. The Royal Navy used the Winchester 1892 and 1894. And the Royal Flying Corps used the Winchester 1886, in .44-90, for balloon busting with incendiary bullets.

  6. The Great War was not confined to the Western Front. And even there, there was manouveur warfare in 1914 and again in 1918 (the Kaiserschlact and the Hundred Days offensives).

  8. ​The use of cavalry and armoured cars to harass retreating German troops was a key element in the success of the Hundred Days Offensive in 1918. While one reason the Spring 1918 Offensive failed was because the Germans hadn't done the same. Allowing Allied forces time to rally and regroup.
