"The Voluntary Aid Detachment (V.A.D.) was a voluntary organization providing field nursing services, mainly in hospitals, in the United Kingdom and various other countries in the British Empire. The organisation's most important period of operation was during World War I .... VADs were an uneasy addition to military hospitals' rank and order. They lacked the advanced skill and discipline of professional trained nurses and were often critical of the nursing profession. Relations improved as the war stretched on: VADs increased their skill and efficiency and trained nurses were more accepting of the VAD's contributions. During four years of war 38,000 VADs worked in hospitals and served as ambulance drivers and cooks. VADs served near the Western Front and in Mesopotamia and Gallipoli. VAD hospitals were also opened in most large towns in Britain. [2] Later, VADs were also sent to the Eastern Front. They provided an invaluable source of bedside aid in the war effort. Many were decorated for distinguished service." [Wiki]. No copies on OCLC, nor in the major English speaking on-line national libraries [as searched by KVK], not in the BMC nor found in the NUC.

"When the American public thinks of its army in France it usually thinks only of the infantry, cavalry, or artillery. But in this age a locomotive may prove more deadly than a battery, and the skilful [sic] and rapid building or destruction of a bridge may decide a battle and the engineers face perils as treat as any of their brothers arrayed against the Huns. Indeed, for the first year of the war the greatest exploits of the American Army in France were the marvels achieved by the engineering branch of the service. ... It is the story of our engineers which this book gives.." [dj blurb].

[World War I]. Bassford, Thomas S. MY OBJECTS ARE To TAKE The STING OUT Of The SUBMARINE, Relieve the Mine of It's Punch, Yet be Economical and Practical. New York: [1917. 1918. 1919]. Custom black full leather binding, rebacked, stamped in gilt as "Compliments of the Author". TEG. Original grey printed wrappers bound-in. 9 parts in 1 volume (iii, [1 (blank), 38 11, [1 (blank)] 11, [1 (blank)] 13, [3 (blank)] ii, 20 [4] 7, [1 (blank)] ix, [1 (blank)], 88 [2], 38 pp). Part 8 with hand-inked word correction to p. 33. 3 drawings in the 7th pamphlet. 10-3/8" x 8". 1st edition. General binding wear. A VG copy of this rare argument for a system offering a vessel protection against the rapidly developing maritime threat.

Mr Bassford's concept was forwarded to the Secretary of the Navy, as well as the United States Shipping Board there is evidence from the text that the 2 entities took seriously Mr Bassford's suggestions, and initiated steps to evaluate same, though today we find no hard evidence that the United States adopted Mr Bassford's recommendations, at least in any wide, systematic practice. At this juncture, barring discovery of evidence to the contrary, this volume remains one documenting an explored, but ultiimately abandoned, avenue of defense against the unseen submarine threat. NB. The OCLC entry [2cc: LC & US Naval History Center] notes 10 pamphlets in one volume, with a date span of 1917 - 1929. Given our copy contains 9, dated 1917 - 1919, and was presented by the author to the United States Shipping Board, Admiral H. H. Rousseau, Chairman, so presumed complete, we surmise if indeed a 10th pamphlet was published, it was issued in 1929.
