BATTLE SCHOOLS
FOR BRITISH COMMANDING OFFICERS GENERAL PAGET’S ORDER. STRENUOUS AND EXACTING COURSES. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.20 p.m.) LONDON, June 19. The G.O. Commander-in-Chief, Lieutenant General Paget, has ordered commanding officers of the British Army to enter battle schools for training in the command of troops under modern war conditions. Special courses for colonels will be as strenuous and exacting as those for junior officers. Reporting this, the “Evening Standard” says: “Now that live ammunition is to be used and commanders required to move at the double, it is probable that even generals will be sent to a special school.”
