Sir.
Those fuddy-duddy nincompoops at RMA Sandhurst are behind the times (was it not ever thus?) in their ill-conceived criticism of our fighting methods. Surely it must be plain, even to them, that the battle must be taken to these heathen devils; no hesitation should be seen, no mercy shown, no quarter given, no sir! The bayonet is all they understand. Squares and firing by volleys is all very well when fighting the damned French, but this is not Waterloo sir, no indeed. Push it home to the muzzle and damn the newspapers. Floreat Etona.
