Are any of these reproductions of the general "recruit manual"?

I've seen translated reproductions of the WWII "recruit manual" (Der Rekrut; various Reibert manuals). Are there any translated reproductions of the standard WWI recruit manual?

I previously contacted John Baum, who has translated several manuals (see the following link: www.germanmanuals.com/). He said at this time there is not a big demand for WWI manuals, so presently he has no plans to translate any. I wonder if someone else is publishing translations, and perhaps has translated the WWI manuals.

As far as I know, there aren't any translations of any of the basic recruit manuals.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest problems I encountered when I was doing a German impression was that they're wasn't a lot in the way of official German manuals- they seemed to lean heavily on what today we'd call "aftermarket" books such as "Der Gut Rekruit" and the like (I have the cavalry version). The other problem is that even with this, the Germans don't seemed to have been big on illustrations so you're often left guessing (even when you can translate, which isn't always easy because of the Fraktur typeface). Even to many modern-day Germans, translating one of these manuals isn't easy.

Good luck on your endeavors. :-)
