Author:
Colonel Tyrrell, Southern Army [India] [General Francis Hardinge Tyrrell, Colonel, 75th Punjab Regiment?; Douglas Haig; Francis Scott Oliver]
Publication details:
Without place or date, but produced in India between 1916 and 1918.
Duplicated typescript. 5pp., foolscap 8vo. On five leaves, pinned together. In good condition, on lightly aged and worn paper. Apparently typed up from shorthand notes of the lecture. A couple of manuscript notes were added before the item was duplicated (including the words 'Seize the object' on p.3). A reference to the response by 'Roland' to Frederick Scott Oliver's 'Ordeal of Battle' fixes the earliest date of publication at 1916. A surprising piece: combining an openness to new military ideas with an old-fashioned militarism.
