Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Art of War in Europe in 1854, 1855, and 1856 A Telegram of the 3d of April, 1855, from the War Department, required Major Delafield, of the Corps of Engineers, then superintending the defenses of the harbor of New York, to repair to Washington immediately and report in person to the Secretary of War. The first conveyance that offered enabled him to do so on the morning of the 5th, when, after an interview with the Hon. Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War, the following order was received constituting a Military Commission to the theater of war in Europe: War Department, Washington, April 2, 1855. Gentlemen: You have been selected to form a commission to visit Europe, for the purpose of obtaining information with regard to the military service in general, and especially the practical working of the changes which have been introduced of late years into the military systems of the principal nations of Europe. Some of the subjects to which it is peculiarly desirable to direct your attention may be indicated as follows: The organization of armies and of the departments for furnishing supplies of all kinds to the troops, especially in field service. The manner of distributing supplies. The fitting up of vessels for transporting men and horses, and the arrangements for embarking and disembarking them. The medical and hospital arrangements, both in permanent hospitals and in the field. The kind of ambulances or other means used for transporting the sick and wounded. The kind of clothing and camp equipage used for service in the field. The kinds of arms, ammunition, and accoutrements used in equipping troops for the various branches of service, and their adaptation to the purposes intended. In this respect, the arms and equipments of cavalry of all kinds will claim your particular attention. The practical advantages and disadvantages attending the use of the various kinds of rifle arms which have been lately introduced extensively in European warfare. The nature and efficiency of ordnance and ammunition employed for field and siege operations, and the practical effect of the late changes partially made in the French field artillery. The construction of permanent fortifications, the arrangement of new systems of sea-coast and land defenses, and the kinds of ordnance used in the armament of them - the Lancaster gun, and other rifle cannon, if any are used. The composition of trains for siege operations, the kind and quantity of ordnance, the engineering operations of a siege in all its branches, both of attack and defense. The composition of bridge trains, kinds of boats, wagons, &c. The construction of casemated forts, and the effects produced on them in attacks by land and water. The use of camels for transportation, and their adaptation to cold and mountainous countries. To accomplish the objects of your expedition most effectually in the shortest time, it appears to be advisable that you should proceed as soon as possible to the theater of war in the Crimea, for the purpose of observing the active operations in that quarter. You will then present yourselves to the commanders of the several armies and request from them such authority and facilities as they may be pleased to grant for enabling you to make the necessary observations and inquiries. You may find it practicable to enter Sebastopol and to proceed through Russia to St. Petersburg, with the view of visiting the works and seeing the operations which may be carried on in the Baltic. Should it not be possible or advisable to enter Russia in this way, you may be able to accomplish the same object by passing through Austria and Prussia. In returning from Russia, you will have an opportunity of seeing the military establishments of Prussia, Austria, France, and England. The arrangements of your journey must be regulated in a .

Download or read book Imagined Battles written by Peter Paret and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 1997 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, art has interpreted the experience of war_its methods, human costs, and moral ambiguities_and has offered historians a wealth of testimony that is only beginning to be systematically explored. In this wide-ranging study, Peter Paret discusses forty-seven paintings and prints as complex documents of war in Europe since the Renaissance and as examples of the artist's use of war as a metaphor for the human condition. The images include works by such major artists as Uccello, Géricault, and Dix as well as academic history paintings and popular prints. By setting each in its historical environment and analyzing it from the perspective of the wars of its time, illuminates the place of war in Western consciousness and expands our understanding of works that are too often approached with little concern for the reality they depict or symbolically transform. Perhaps the most significant of the themes he traces over five centuries is the gradual change from the prince or general to the common soldier and civilian victim as central figures in the interpretation of war in art.
Download or read book The Art of Warfare in Western Europe During the Middle Ages written by J. F. Verbruggen and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 1997 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He begins by analysing the sources for our knowledge of the military history of the period, assessing their reliability: some chroniclers exaggerate, others are careful observers or have access to official records. There follows an examination of the constituent parts of the medieval army, knights and footsoldiers, equipment and terms of service, behaviour on the field, and psychology, before the problematic question of medieval tactics is addressed through analysis of accounts of a series of major battles. Strategy is discussed in the context of these battles: whether to seek battle, fight a defensive war, or attempt a war of conquest.
