Note 114 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 2)
Walter Krueger translation
The cutting down of a poplar at Königgrätz decreased the effect of the Austrian artillery fire, which, previous to this, had caused rather serious losses. Geschichte des Regiments, Nr. 2, p. 36. A similar effect was produced by tearing down a house at Lovtcha. Kuropatkin-Krahmer, Kritische Rückblicke auf den Russisch-Türkischen Krieg, I, p. 59.
