The art of the Infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than any other arm.
The role of the average Artilleryman, for instance, is largely routine; the setting of a fuse, the locating of a gun, even the laying of it, are processes which once learned, are mechanical.

The Infantryman has to use initiative and intelligence in almost every step he moves every action he takes on the battlefield.
We ought therefore to put our men of best intelligence into the Infantry.
