Where can I find primary sources on mortars/artillery in world war one?
Upvote:2
While this remains a very broad question, there are a large number of documents covering the use of artillery during the First World War available to read / download on archive.org. A search using your keywords, and restricting the date range to about 1912 to 1920 will give you hundreds of potential sources, including many official manuals and guides.
While many of the documents you'll find on sites like archive.org were produced for the US military, a number of those were actually reprints of British documents, for example, Artillery in Offensive Operations (1917).
Additionally, documents like the multi-volume Manual for Non-commissioned Officers and Privates of Field Artillery of the Army of the United States were written based on the latest available information (in 1917) about the use of artillery on the Western Front and elsewhere.
- Manual for Non-commissioned Officers and Privates of Field Artillery of the Army of the United States - Volume 1
- Manual for Non-commissioned Officers and Privates of Field Artillery of the Army of the United States - Volume 2
Alongside those sources, you may find helpful information in related documents that do not explicitly mention artillery or mortars in the title. An example would be the 1915 Treatise on Ammunition, published by the War Office in London, which includes a great deal of information about artillery and mortar ammunition.
