Excerpt from The New German Field Exercise: Part I. The Portion on Drill in Extended Order; Part II. Attack and Defence Complete
The issue of the New German Field Exercise marks an important epoch in Military Science.
After careful persual, I came to the conclusion that the portion of Part I., treating of Drill in Extended Order, and the whole of Part II., would make a very welcome book of instruction to many Military Men, and Civilians, who, as Volunteers, take an interest in Military matters. Part II. especially, contains a vast amount of new and original information and instruction on that important part of military duty, how to manage troops in battle. I obtained the sanction of Sir Evelyn Wood, V.C, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., to make and publish a translation of these parts, and this little volume is the result of my work.
I offer it to the military public with the assurance that it will prove useful to many, and in this opinion I am confirmed by the following words used by a leading military paper: "We may observe that the first two parts of the German Infantry Exercise are of so simple and practical a nature that they might usefully be applied with very slight modification to any of our own forces - the Volunteers, for example, who have not time to acquire all that is contained in our red encyclop?dia."
