3rd ed. revised and enlarged. — London: E. Stanford, 1899. — 90 p.
This small pamphlet is written with the object of assisting officers preparing for military examinations in the solution of problems in Applied Tactics.
To give students an opportunity of testing their capabilities, I have added a few simple questions to the solutions, while in the latter I have abstained from entering into too many details, being of opinion that a student reads a book with more interest if it leaves some margin for his own mental work. I am certain the intelligent reader will have no difficulty in finding for himself the reasons for any of the measures adopted which are not explained in the text. I wish to repudiate the widespread fallacy, which is often alleged as an excuse for careless work, that Tactical arrangements are merely matters of individual opinion or caprice.
Problem no. 1 – 10.
