Note 35 — Front matter (continued 3)
Tom Bridges translation
"The leader must select a station from which, while keeping his own troops well in hand, he can obtain a good view of the surrounding country, of the enemy, and of the progress of the battle. He will either observe himself, or by means of officers sent out to observing stations. These latter must maintain constant communication with him.
"Personal observation is always the best, and is essential in the case of offensive action against cavalry."
