Note 428 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 8)

Gen. St. W., I, p. 595. Kriegsgeschichtliche Einzelschriften, 18, p. 580.—v. Scherff, Kriegslehren, II, p. 146.—Essay by v. Liebert published in Supplement of the Militär-Wochenblatt, 1895. From the description contained in the 4th Supplement of the Militär-Wochenblatt, 1895, p. 177. It appears, at any rate, that the support given by the 39th Half-Brigade was not absolutely necessary. On the right flank as well, a united employment of the force for the attack of Hill 970 ought to have been possible; as it was, regiments were cut up in making isolated assaults, which had no effect whatever on the outcome of the general action.
