Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Military Letters and Essays To bring this point out it was necessary to have frequent recourse to forgotten histories and biographies, and thus I account for the pres ence of the several reviews embodied in this collection. Moreover, armament and skill on the part of the leaders being equal, victory, under all conditions of improvements conceivable in weapons, will ultimately remain with the best disciplined troops, and by discipline I understand that quality which is measured by the endurance of loss by troops under fire, having due regard, of course, to the circumstances of time, ground, and employment under which the losses were inflicted. No training in which this ultimate end of discipline is lost sight of is worth the time wasted on it, and, reading between the lines, it will be very evident that I am far from considering that all the time spent in military training in England is employed to the best advantage. This accounts for the descriptions of field days, etc., which may appear to many to possess but ephemeral interest.

Download or read book Army Letters 1897 98 Classic Reprint written by Hugh Oakeley Arnold -Forster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Army Letters, 1897-98 In introducing the following letters a few general remarks are permissible. In the first place it may be said, without undue assurance, that, generally speaking, the letters represent the views of at least nine-tenths of the officers and men actually serving or on the Retired List. This is no idle boast: it is a statement founded upon the ample and convincing testimony of a corre spondence extending over several months, of in numerable interviews and conversations, and of the collation of opinions expressed in many quarters. The War Oflice may be quite right, but the con viction that they are entirely wrong is so deeply rooted and widely extended throughout the whole of the British Army, that a civilian is not only justified in noting the fact, but is bound as a reasonable man to do so.

And that no proof might be wanting of their conciliatory dispositions, and no pretext left for a continuance of the practice, the British government was formally assured of the readiness of the United States to enter into arrangements, such as could not be rejected, if the recovery of British subjects was the real and the sole object.

Download or read book Inter Arma written by Edmund Gosse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inter Arma: Being Essays Written in Time of War But the man of letters who is torn from his customary province, whatever that may be, and who is drawn by his emotion into the whirlpool of the hour, cannot change his nature, and that emotion has to be expressed in terms of his own intellectual habits. He must be careful not to allow his zeal to drag him into employ ments where he will be, not only of no use, but perhaps, in his small way, an encumbrance. The author, untrained in military affairs, who is led by his ardour to criticise the conduct of the allied generals in the field, is apt to cut a sorry figure. At best, he is like the clown in the circus, who gives directions after the grooms have carried them out. At worst, he increases the public confusion and adds his atom to the distraction of disorganised opinion. It is, perhaps, best for him to pursue his accustomed lines of study, allowing all his thoughts and views to be saturated by the passionate interest he takes in the war, and so react, in his own way and to the extent of his own powers, against the satiety and lassitude which the extraordinary prolongation of the struggle inevitably produces. There is an excellent reason why those who write with some seriousness and care should continue during the war to be careful and serious. It has hardly been enough observed that we have sent out for our national defence in this war a soldiery far more widely and deeply educated than has ever been the case before. This is true of our French allies even more fully than of our selves, while from my personal knowledge I can testify that the Russian soldiers expressly desire not to have light literature or the ephemeral forms of fiction sent out to them, but crave a supply of solid and thought ful, even of instructive books. Every author who has for many years held the ear of the public, within how ever confined a circle, must be aware of a curious, and an affecting, fact. A large proportion of those who habitually read him, and whose minds have become attuned to his, are separated from him by leagues of sea, and are occupied in noble and unprecedented service.

My publisher, however, tells me I am not to touch it up, and I may say that what it lacks in grammar it makes up in truth. I put down things as they were and endeavoured not to say how I thought they ought to have been; there has already been far too much irresponsible lay criticism of matters military and medical in South Africa.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Richard Tylden Auchmuty, Fifth Corps, Army of the Potomac On Thursday, I went to a review of General Smiths batteries. The target was a small wooden house, but it did not seem to be much hurt; afterwards, we were invited to a splendid spread, presided over by Mrs. Smith, in the house of a man named Smoot - a large brick house, and the only gentleman's house that I have seen. Three bands played, and the company danced in the hall. McClellan and his staff were there. I telegraphed to the Wads worth party to come, but they did not do so. The review was to have been on our hill, to which they promised to come. I should have liked to have the princes see them. Mrs. and the Misses Barry and Mrs. Benton were the ladies present. Robert Livingston has gone to New York to get his uniform, and will now be in our division. The weather has been rainy, but warm; the leaves are just turning; the bee-line roads are beginning to show what they will be in the way of mud. Since the rebels fell back, there have been no more disturbances at night, and telegrams, blue lights, and rockets are in the past. Last night, however, a great telegraphing set in, and I was up all night. It related to our movements, which appear to be perfectly safe and for the better, viz., to Smoot's house. I rode over to Hall's Hill at 1 A.M. after a man, and not finding him there, went to a house about four miles off, near the pickets, and then to Falls Church, getting back at three o'clock.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters Written During the Civil War, 1861-1865 The Second Massachusetts Infantry Regiment was organized in April, 1861, immediately after the firing on Fort Sumter. Colonel George H. Gordon, Lieutenant-Colonel George L. Andrews and Major Wilder Dwight were the active spirits in creating the organization and in securing the acceptance of the regiment by the Secretary of War prior to the first call for troops by President Lincoln, May 4, 1861. The regiment was mustered into the military service of the United States in the month of May, 1861, at Camp Andrew, West Roxbury. It remained at this camp for drill and instruction about two months, and left Boston for the seat of War in Virginia, July 8, 1861. These letters, written to members of my family, record my experiences as an officer of this regiment during its term of service, from May, 1861, to July, 1865.
