Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Points of View, Vol. 2 of 2 The unexpected nature and extent of the administrative problems which faced army chiefs as the late War unfolded its course have been a constant subject of discussion and illustration in the hands of both military and civil narrators of war experiences. The creation of services and departments hardly dreamt of before the War by even the most imaginative of staff officers had, at its close, produced much amazing improvisation, absorbed much man-power, and added greatly to the congeries of employments which so long defied the efforts of the demobilisation branch of the War Office. But at the outset the necessary services were slow to realise a tenth part of the changes which modern warfare demanded. The military mind notoriously runs in grooves, and, whatever the vigour and initiative displayed in progress along an established track, the first start in a fresh direction is too often a slow and uneasy effort. Army reform is indeed as difficult as law reform, and the conservatism of lawyers is matched by that of soldiers.
