About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ...the result. That is just what the Army would prefer to avoid. A yeoman on the South African veldt taught me this lesson. I had found him when on sentry on outpost so buried in meditation that, although I was mounted and with an orderly, I rode up to him and touched him on the shoulder. It was broad daylight, and when I questioned him to explain his dereliction of duty and asked him where he was trained and taught, he replied that he had been two months at Aldershot before embarkation. His sole duty there was to ' answer my name twice a day. There was nobody left to teach me.' There will be a repetition of this should our striking force be employed oversea. Of what value will your Officers Training Corps of university students and public school boys be to fill cadres of units where men meet officers, perhaps for the first time, within sound of the hiss of a bullet? Of what use are 'boys with women's voices who strive to speak big ' when they know not how to speak, much less how to command? What class of discipline may you expect? What are the opening words of our Training Manual on this point? ' True discipline cannot be said to exist unless all ranks are confident in the ability of their superiors to instruct in peace and lead in war.' We do not trust the lives of our peaceful citizens to unskilled care when using public means of transit. The captain of a penny steamer must have his master's certificate before he can work his charge. Even our friend the taxi driver must pass an examination before he gets his licence. And yet in war we entrust the lives of brave men to the slenderest of leading strings. With such material of a doubtful value would it be wise to allow our striking force to show its power...
