War Made by Rule Brings Firing When Food Lacked
A South Africa dispatch, vouched by an officer in England, reports a brigade marching 24 hours with little food. When rations came, a brigade major ordered the fires out to align with a neighboring regiment. The regimental cook protested that fuel and time were too scarce to finish cooking before marching. The brigade major, a military school professor, insisted, leaving troops starving as tea and meat remained uncooked. The London Truth notes the slow field staff education and offers to name the major in confidence if the War Office desires.
