To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There must have been an extraordinary amount of cavalry engagement in the with- drawal of Sir John French's army from Mons to Noyon when General Allenby and General Sordet with their combined forces held the Ger- mans in check long enough to save the allies' left wing. When the true detailed account of all that charging and counter-charging comes to be written there will be plenty of data for the last word on cavalry arms, data which it is im- possible now to obtain from the published accounts.... The use of the carbine brings up the moot point of the value of dismounted action for cav- alry which is a subject on which opinions are as irreconcilable as are politics ina Latin-American republic. Universal adoption of the carbine in all countries is sufficient indication of its value but, as the firearm is seldom or never used from the back of a horse, its possession imports into cavalry tactics very difficult decisions as be- tween shock action mounted and fire action dis- mounted. Naturally one would be appropriate where the other would not, choice depending on character of terrain and particular results to be achieved.
