Book excerpt: This book presents a fictional account of a young, inexperienced British officer who is ordered to hold a river crossing (Duffer's Drift) with 50 men against a larger Boer force. His failures and eventual success provide lessons learned for contemporary soldiers regarding the concepts of small group tactics. Originally published in Infantry Journal in April 1905.
