Each battalion was drawn up by half-battalions in close columns of platoons in front of the camp, and although the inspection occupied a very short time, the delay was almost sufficient to cause three senior officers, the first of the battalion to be granted local leave, to miss the one o'clock luncheon express to Cairo.
Above all the tendency is evident to envelop the enemy by extending the wings. There is no longer any question of keeping the original order of battle.

Unable to manipulate their whole command, in order to do something, they command the smaller unit. It is not always better commanded at that. Even generals find themselves in this situation." Here is something we understand better. It is certainly what occurs. As for the instances cited in the general staff reports, they deal with companies or half-battalions at most.
