A Rankin Posted 22 November , 2022 Author Share Posted 22 November , 2022 The Ogilby Muster (TOM) has made many pamphlets available through the participating museums. Per the terms of use, people who access the site can print one copy and download pages from the website for personal use. Unfortunately, the terms of use also limit linking to the home page and prohibit linking to internal pages, which seems both backwards and a sure way to discourage any meaningful access. Given these restrictions, I will list the CDS/SS pamphlets I have found. Most come up in the first page of results. Tips: Navigate to TOM homepage https://www.theogilbymuster.com/ 1. Search using the name of the pamphlet (don't use quotes) 2. Change the sort by field from Regimental Collection to Relevance 3. If you land in the middle of a pamphlet, search on the collection string (if the item is Museum_xxy_0032 then put Museum_xxy in the search string and it will return all the results in that file. 4. Some collections are so heavily watermarked as to be useless to even bother downloading the low resolution file. 5. A few pamphlets are not in sequential order, so will have to be pieced together within the larger collection item. 6. You can usually internally navigate using the URL (i.e. if the file is /record/314157, the next record is 314158. This saves a lot of clicking and opening in tabs Even given the above, after searching for about half of the known pamphlets I have found just over 100 pamphlets CDS 1 Notes on Field Defences.
