INFANTRY DRILL
HANDBOOK OF INFANTRY DRILL. Whitcombe and Tombs, With eight plates. 2/9. HE publishers of this book have been loyal to the War Office. It follows the manuals faithfully. First it gives four pages of definitions. Then there are five pages on "The System of Infantry Training." The book says: "... elementary drill provides the best means of securing ordered movement in the field." This "best means" is described in 17 pages on squad drill, 20 pages on arms drill, seven pages on saluting, 40 pages on guard and sentry duties viewed from the ceremonial point of view, three pages on march discipline (in close order), 14 pages on ceremonial drill for platoon, company, or battalion, and eight pages on how to pitch tents, including large marquees. In all these sections there is only one notable omission: nothing is said about how to win "wars against people who don’t use the same drill book.
