It is very difficult for people at home to realise what a tremendous task was set us in finding leaders and staff for all our great new armies. The task has ¡been complicated by the everchanging conditions and new inventions of modern war, a regimental officer' writes in the Daily Express."
There are also General Kiggell, Haig's Chief of Staff and right-hand mad Kavanagh, of Epres fame Hunter Weston, to whom Sir Jan Hamilton paid the great tribute of declaring that he had genius, for war"; Sir Henry Wilson,

A modern general has not orly to be a master of strategy and tactics, but he ne also to be a great organiser. It is the possession of such organising ability, added to genius for pure generalship, which has made Sir Douglas Halg it to rank with any general of past or modern times. One great change General flaig has made is in the selection of young leaders. In fact, our leaders, under Sir Douglas Haig's regime, average quite twenty years younger than those of HIS COURAGEOUS CRITICISM OF any other army. The result is seen in increased initiative and energy-
Nearly all the new inventions" and tactics of the last year have been introduced by Sir Douglas Haig's staff, including tanks and Stokes guns, as well as the best bomb and steel helmet in the war.
Sir Hubert Gough, recognised by the French Staff even as one of, the out- standing geniuses the war has produced, has risen from the command of a cavalry brigade to command a great army at the age of forty-six and to make his name go down to history by his brilliant surprise capture of Beaumont Hamel, a fest of arms and generalship unsurpassed in the history of warfare.
