Synopsis "The Resourceful Gunner: Inventor Major Conrad Dinwiddy in the First World War"

Conrad Hugh Dinwiddy - husband, father, sportsman, politician, surveyor, inventor and gunner - was a civilian turned artilleryman. He was one of those individuals who turned a keen brain to the technological developments necessary in winning the First World War. He invented an aerial range-finder, an aiming post scheme for night-firing, and put forward schemes for the firing of artillery from barges and the use of monorail in artillery supply. He died at the Battle of Polygon Wood in September 1917.This book delves into his pre-war world, examines his inventions and the science of accurate artillery fire, and explores the life of a 6-inch howitzer battery on the Western Front using his letters home. It also charts the careers of his brothers, two of whom were Territorial officers, two being naval officers, and one a Regular army captain, taken prisoner at the fall of Kut in 1916.
