Note 362 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 7)
Walter Krueger translation
According to experience the reconnaissance work generally flags during a halt, although that is the very time when an increased activity is desirable. The reconnaissance work in the IXth Corps on August 18th, 1870, from the arrival at Caulre until the advance guard opened the fight, is particularly instructive. Der 18. August, pp. 124, et seq. and 215.
