Ladies and Gentlemen,
The past has a tendency to catch up with you, I received a phone call from a chap. He currently at Tactics Wing, Combat Training Centre.
It re a presentation I made a number of years ago on the little text "The Defence of Duffers Drift‘ and how the Canadian‘s used it as a infantry minor tactics primer. Also how this had influenced them to get the author Kenneth Macksey to write a text in novle form on mechanised warfare in the NATO environment.
He wishes to know is ‘Duffers Drift" still used as a tactics primer. He has spoken to the Defence Advisor at the Canadian High Commission, but, he not a Army type person.
Would anyone possibily know this.
I personally, having just pulled it from the shelf and flicked through it, belive that although written nearly a hundred years ago it still has relevance.
Yours,
Jock in Sydney, on a stinking hot afternoon.
