You’re welcome.

A good book on pre-war big exercises in the UK is:

“Futile exercise? The British Army’s preparations for war 1902-1914” by Simon Batten (ISBN: 978-1-911512-85-1)

Robert Foley has published an excellent appraisal of the pre-war manoeuvres in Germany under von Schlieffen.

There are multiple contemporaneous Pathé and similar films as videos online of such manoeuvres in Germany, France, Belgium, and UK.

I have several books in German and French covering pre-war After Action Reports from manoeuvres.
