 Explore two compelling essays that delve into military strategy and tactics. The first, written in 1909 by British officer Wilkinson Dent Bird, discusses the intricacies of mountain warfare based on the British Armys experiences on the Indian frontier, particularly in Afghanistan. The second essay, penned in 1917 by naval historian John Leyland, examines the strategic maneuvers of the British navy during World War I.
