Always In A Moment Of Extreme Danger

I Would Rather He Had Given Me One More Division

War Makes Extremely Heavy Demands On The Soldier's Strength And Nerves. For This Reason, Make Heavy Demands On Your Men In Peacetime Exercises.

The Commander Must Be At Constant Pains To Keep His Troops Abreast Of All The Latest Tactical Experience And Developments, And Must Insist On Their Practical Application. He Must See To It That His Subordinates Are Trained In Accordance With The Latest Requirements. The Best Form Of Welfare For The Troops Is First-class Training, For This Saves Unnecessary Casualties.

Winning The Men's Confidence Requires Much Of A Commander. He Must Exercise Care And Caution, Look After His Men, Live Under The Same Hardships, And-above All- Apply Self Discipline. But Once He Has Their Confidence, His Men Will Follow Him Through Hell And High Water.

Mortal Danger Is An Effective Antidote For Fixed Ideas.
