This comprehensive guide to street fighting by Captain S.J. Cuthbert of the Scots Guards was originally published in Britain in 1941, during World War II. The topics covered include: “Ground, Defence, Attack, Use of Explosives, Arms and Equipment, Training and Excercise”.

The book was illustrated by John G. Walter and originally printed by Gale & Polden Ltd., at their Wellington Press, Aldershot, Hampshire. A 1965 hardcover edition by Panther Publications is amended with “a Soviet View of Combat in Cities.”

The title is shown in two slightly curved lines. The letters appears to be drawn by hand, closely based on Signal, but with a less angular h.
