In The Absence Of Orders,

Don't Fight A Battle If You Don't Gain Anything By Winning.

In A Man-to-man Fight, The Winner Is He Who Has One More Round In His Magazine.

If I Had To Take Hell, I Would Use The Australians To Take It And The New Zealanders To Hold It.

The Commander Must Be At Constant Pains To Keep His Troops Abreast Of All The Latest Tactical Experience And Developments, And Must Insist On Their Practical Application. He Must See To It That His Subordinates Are Trained In Accordance With The Latest Requirements. The Best Form Of Welfare For The Troops Is First-class Training, For This Saves Unnecessary Casualties.

The Future Battle On The Ground Will Be Preceded By Battle In The Air. This Will Determine Which Of The Contestants Has To Suffer Operational And Tactical Disadvantages And Be Forced Throughout The Battle Into Adoption Compromise Solutions.
