Sorry this isn't a aviation subject but it's pretty interesting, In 1916 the British Army recruited big game hunters from Africa & expert marksman from Australia & Canada plus men from the front lines & formed Intelligence Sections composed of 8 snipers, 8 scouts, & 8 observers & assigned to each battalion. The snipers operated in two man teams & the scouts were sent to scout out the front lines. One Canadian trapper claimed to have 125 kills . If you have any info please share it with me if you could.
