Note 393 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 7)
Walter Krueger translation
“We are prone to place the individual on too high a pedestal, and, in doing so, to ignore the psychological element of combat.” Major-General Stieler.
[394] The losses sustained during the advance of the Russian reserves at Plevna (11th September, 1877), and during the attack made by the Guard on Gorni Dubniac, led to a spontaneous deployment on the part of the reserves.
