Excerpt from First Lessons in War
Very war brings in its course changes in tactics, of which the precise nature cannot be foreseen. This book was written in October 1914, before the accounts from the theatre of war had thrown much light on those changes of method of which we are now beginning to hear in some detail The most important of them is the influence of artillery in compelling the infantry to be content with a much shorter field of fire in front of its trenches than is desirable for obtain ing the full effect of the modern bullet. I think however that it is premature at present to modify the statements in my text as to the value of a clear field of fire, of which I suspect that the importance will reassert itself in the later stages.
