‘Only Limited War Imaginable’
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, February 21. Nuclear war could never eventuate, said the commandant of the British Army’s staff college at Camberley, Major-General J. F. Worsley, aged 52, in an interview today.
The only type of warfare which could be imagined in the future was the limited military operation, he said. General Worsley brought with him a silver cup for the
Wellington and Hawke’s Bay Regiment to mark the alliance between them and his own Lancashire Regiment. He said great emphasis was now being placed on science and technology in new officer training courses. However, he held that mechanisation could never eliminate the foot soldier. “Ultimately any form of military operation must be carried out by the infantry. All other arms are there to help this,” said the General.
