At the Battle of Mons, the advancing Germans believed that they were under fire from British machine guns. In fact, it was the well drilled infantry of the BEF using their standard issue Lee Enfield.

In 1914, cannons were positioned in the front line and fired directly at their targets. By 1917, indirect fire with guns (as well as mortars and even machine guns) was commonplace, using new techniques for spotting and ranging, notably aircraft and the often overlooked field telephone. Counter-battery missions became commonplace, also, and sound detection was used to locate enemy batteries. Germany was far ahead of the Allies in utilising heavy indirect fire.

Martin Luther’s message held great appeal for various groups, even those of whom had less than spiritual
A leading historian, Eisenstein, introduced her theory on the unacknowledged revolution of the Print Press and its role as an “Agent of Change” (Eisenstein, 1979). The print press is considered largely responsible for starting the print revolution, allowing innovations and spread of printed word at a scale never seen before. Impact of The Print Revolution The printed word is judged one of the key factors in the success of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. Luther’s ideas were able to spread farther than any previous challenger of the Catholic church and its widespread corruption.
