Item STERN 1/20/4 - Volume of notes by Stern, 1919, on subjects including postwar trade and the future of mechanical warfare

Bound volume containing manuscript notes by Stern, first of recommendations about postwar British trade, second relating to the opposition of the War Office to him during his service in World War One, including an account of the way in which an order by the War Office to hand over the plans of the tank to Russia in 1916 was evaded by substituting a spoof drawing and also advocating the importance of developing mechanical warfare for future conflicts (subsequently the basis of an article on Stern by the Evening Standard, Sep 1919).
