Description
Excerpt from Training in Night Movements, Based on Actual Experience in War: Translated From the Japanese
Due perhaps to national characteristics, Japanese army training of all kinds proceeds along more exact and minute lines than is usual in our own service. While many may consider that this work errs in that direction, it would be well to consider carefully the necessity for such careful training in the most delicate of all military movements. If Private Brown has not been thoroughly trained and accustomed to night movements, he is sure to make mistakes; multiply him by a hundred or a thousand, and the margin of safety for success will become rather slim, to say the least.
This work has been translated at odd times in the press of much other work of the same general character. For this reason there has been no time to spend on nice ties of expression or in polishing up the English; and indeed I am not sure but that following the author''s words rather closely does not more than compensate for faulty diction. If the meaning can be comprehended I shall be satisfied and beg indulgence for all the things lacking.
