A veteran observer disputes British claims of ambushes in North Africa, arguing such engagements are exaggerated and that British failures during frontier warfare were due to strategic errors. The piece recalls Custer era tactics, detailing march columns, skirmish lines, and the role of scouts, guides, and indigenous troops in protecting formations. It argues that true defeats stem from superior numbers and misjudged enemy capabilities.
