I remember finding a book at the University of Manitoba's law library entitled "Snipers in France". It was a history of the scout-sniper detachments written shortly after the war by their founding officer. It not only detailed their duties, but also their training system (there was even an appendix not unlike an instruction manual for the Lee-Enfield rifle). I read it a couple of years ago, and has some pretty interesting stories in it. You may be able to find out if it is still there and if the library could give you more information through the U of M website (<<http://www.umanitoba.ca>>).
