Download or read book The British Army From Within Classic Reprint written by E. Charles Vivian and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Army From Within At the best, there is much in the work that a soldier is called on to do which is beyond his under standing, in the first years of his service. One consequence of this is that he learns to do things without questioning their meaning, and thus acquires a habit of obeying; this, up to a few years ago, was the Object of military training to instil into the soldier unquestioning obedience to orders, and the sentence obedience is the first duty of the soldier, gained currency and labelled the soldier as a mere cog in a great machine, one whose duty lay in obeying as did that Roman sentinel at Pompeu. One of the chief lessons of the South African war, however, was that such obedience was no longer the first duty of the soldier he must obey, no less than before, but scientific warfare demands an understanding obedience, and not the unquestioning, die-at-his post fidelity of old time. The recruit 'of to-day must be taught not only to obey, but to understand, and by that fact the work of his instructors, and his own work as well, are largely increased.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Army, Vol. 12: 1839-1852 It purports to contain transcripts Of all the documents which came before the governor-general in Council at each meeting, and it is, on the whole, the most disorderly and chaotic assembly of papers that I have encountered in more than thirty years of research. In the first place the volumes are so gigantic, heavy and unwieldy, that it is difficult to read them com fortably in any attitude. In the second, many of the documents before the Council (as is plain from internal evidence) have not been transcribed at all, while others have been copied two or three times over. In the third the transcripts have not been checked, and contain many corrupt passages which cost me much trouble to emend. In the fourth, many of the clerks wrote vile hands, and occasionally one of the idler among them has filled up his exhausted ink-pot with water instead of ink, and has left writing so faint that it can only be read with much suffering to the eyes. In the fifth, there is no index, and, though the volumes are numbered, the pages are not, so that it is impossible to give an accurate reference to them. In the sixth.
