Digitised by Google Books from the collection of Oxford University, see Source below. If necessary, click on Show More, below. A volume in Gale & Polden’s Military Series The author was Lieut. Stewart Murray (Stewart Lygon Murray), 1st Batt. Gordon Highlanders An early page quotes "The main object it aims at is to obtain, at the decisive moment, the greatest development of Infantry fire under the most careful supervision and control." - Army Order, 1st June, 1893. The Preface says "Having been now for five years much interested in the study of Fire Discipline, having slowly struggled through the several successive stages of thought on the subject, and having at length reached some settled conclusions, it may not be amiss to try to supply a want which I myself have often felt, the want, namely, of " a body of doctrine," clearly setting forth the ground principles of Fire Discipline…. Finally, the object of this book is to clearly draw the distinction between Discipline and Fire Discipline. Until this distinction is clearly drawn, neither can be properly taught."
