ON THE ATTACK OF FORTRESSES. 252. To enter upon the strategical movements of an army previous to undertaking a siege, would be quite out of place in a treatise of this kind; but it is necessary to observe that the forces about to undertake a siege must have the lead and superiority in the field; for the corps appointed to conduct the duties and details of the siege, as also the investing corps (or that which surrounds the whole place, and hems in the garrison on every side), ought not to be liable to have their operations disturbed and defeated by an army attempting to succour the place, or to raise the siege; and should the besieged thus have an army in the field, it becomes necessary for the assailants to have a corps of observation to watch it. The army intended to invest a place, approaches it when least expected, and occupies positions simultaneously on every side, so as to cut off all its means of communication with the country. The positions thus occupied are strengthened by good field-works, and a sure communication is kept up between them. In examining the many sieges carried on in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, we cannot but be struck with the immense development of lines between which the investing army generally secured itself. In order to repel any attack from an army endeavouring to succour the place from without, it was customary to construct a belt of strong field-works about two or three miles from the place, facing the country: this was the line of circvmvallation; and a similar concentric belt of field-works facing the place, was the line of contravallation, constructed to secure the investing corps against any enterprise of the garrison. This mode of proceeding is very ancient: it was thus that...

Download or read book The Victorian Army and the Staff College 1854 1914 written by Brian Bond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering work in British military history, originally published in 1972, this book is both scholarly and entertaining. Although the book concentrates on a single institution, it illuminates a much wider area of social and intellectual change. For the Army the importance of the change was enormous: in 1854 there was neither a Staff College nor a General Staff, and professional education and training were largely despised by the officers: by 1914 the College could justly be described as ‘a school of thought’ while the officers it had trained were coming to dominate the highest posts in Commands and on the General Staff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the rebirth of British military power and hence of the authority of her diplomacy. When England went to war with revolutionary France in 1793 her army was weak from ten years of neglect of discipline and training, from political interference in the selection of its officers and from the failure of her recruiting policies. To these disadvantages were added a cumbrous system of political control, divided counsels and inept strategy. The result was defeat in her attempted continental campaigns of 1793-95 and the loss of the respect of both her allies and her enemy. The work of reform began in 1795. From being the least feared of France's principal enemies, the British army became a force capable of winning the victories of the Peninsular War, of making a real and weighty contribution to the overthrow of Napoleon, and of compelling attention to Britain's voice in the Congress of Vienna which created the Europe of the nineteenth century. Professor Glover studies this transformation in detail.
