[Two printed items.] 'Table Card containing Table of Exercises for the Physical Training of Recruits and Trained Soldiers of the Indian Army.' [Includes 'Preliminary Bombing Exercise'] and 'Trained Soldiers' Table. - 1.'

ONE ('Table Card'): 6pp., on three 22 x 9.5 cm leaves. In good condition, on aged paper, with small punch hole at top inner corner. Intended for officers directing physical training, and consisting of four tables (one to a page), numbered I to IV, with 'Notes on Physical Training' on the last page. Each of the first three tables is divided into 'Introductory Exercises', 'General Exercises' and 'Final Exercises'. Table IV is headed 'PRELIMINARY BOMBING EXERCISE. | To be taken after the Jumping and Vaulting Exercises in the daily Table Card.' Table IV concludes: 'Once the correct movements have been learnt, "Throwing Practice" should be carried out in paris with "medicine" bags. (Vide Training and Employment of Bombers, Sept. 1916, page 50.)' Excessively scarce: no copy traced on COPAC or OCLC WorldCat, and none in the Imperial War Museum collections. The Dutch National MIlitary Museum contains a similar item (not limited to the Indian Army), dated April 1907, and titled: 'Table card: containing tables of exercises for the physical training of recruits, and the physical exercise of trained soldiers (provisional).' TWO: Leaflet headed 'TRAINED SOLDIERS' TABLE. - I.' (with second page headed 'TRAINED SOLDIERS' TABLE. - II.') 2pp., 8vo. On both sides of a single leaf. Oval stamp at head of first page of 'No. 2 CADET BATTALION | ORDERLY ROOM'. Beneath the heading on the first page: 'N.B. - This table is intended for "trained" soldiers who have not recently done any Physical Training, or for those whose previous Recruits Physical Training was incomplete.' Both sides giving directionsfor exercises, under three sub-headings: 'A. - INTRODUCTORY EXERCISES', 'B. - GENERAL EXERCISES' and 'C. - FINAL EXERCISES'. No copy on COPAC or OCLC WorldCat, and none in the Imperial War Museum collection, which does however contain a Second World War item titled 'Trained Soldiers' Table (amended)'.
