EARL OF CAVAN COMMENTS ON ARMY OFFICERS STYLE:
MANŒUVRES` MIX-UP.
Criticism of the verbosity of military orders is a feature of the report on the Army Manœuvres of 1995-the first since the war-drawn up by the Earl of Cavan, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, and submitted to the War Office..
On the whole," he says, the written orders were disappointing, and showed considerable divergencies from the gene ral principles laid down in field service regulations.
The most frequent and pronounced errors were lack of simplicity in both form and wording, and lack of precision and conciseness.
