To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To ensure that fire is always under control during the advance of the firing line, independent firing will be deferred as long as possible, and the men will only fire by command of their leaders. To demoralize the enemy by the fire of the firing line, and of artillery, may be regarded as a necessary preliminary to a successful assault upon the most important points of his position. This has to be effected under conditions unfavourable to the attacking infantry, whose nerves will be tried daring... a prolonged advance under fire, the tension becoming greater as close ranges are reached and the final conflict is neared. The march before beginning the fight, the subsequent rapid advances, and the fatigues of frequent firing, will tax to tho utmost the physical strength, endurance, and courage of all concerned. It is therefore evident that prompt obedience to orders, and strict fire discipline are of paramount importance. Those ends can only be attained by constant practice daring peace. Especial care should be taken that ammunition is not wasted in the preparatory stages, so that when a heavy firo is required before the assault there may be no deficiency.
