Sir; It was the intention of my late father to dedicate to you the following Tale, illustrative of the martial character of the Highlands of Scotland. But death has withheld him from indulging in this wish. May, I therefore, his son, presume to fulfil the design which my father entertained, and inscribe with your name this, his last, Work ? <k I have the honour to be, Sir, With great respect, ^ Your most obedient Servant, JOHN COXON PICKEN. : !

The first peep of daylight was just beginning to streak the sky on the seaward side of the old town of Inverness, in the north of Scotland, when a t^l Highland youth, dressed in bonnet and trews, stole cautiously forth from the straggling outskirts, and with his face turned southerly, set hastily forward on some boyish VOL.

It is worth taking stock of what has been achieved so far, and ensuring that our direction of travel continues to be understood by the Army. This comprehensive update achieves this purpose well and should be read widely. I wish to highlight four particular points: • Our success in establishing Defence Engagement as a core Defence output. Not only will this enable us to make a crucial contribution to conflict prevention, but it will enhance our contingent capability by developing our understanding. It will also give the Adaptable Force a challenging focus in addition to enduring operations and homeland resilience. • We must be clear that our capacity to influence overseas is founded upon our credibility as a war-fighting Army, capable of projecting force anywhere in the world.

    CHAPTER X IT Is Now Time to Lift the Veil That Hid from the Arriving

    CHAPTER X “THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ‘FIFTH’ ARMY”1 IT is now time to lift the veil that hid from the arriving reinforcements the chain of events that had produced the situations into which they were flung. It may be taken as an axiom that, when an army is in the grip of a desperate struggle, any one moving in its rear tends to be unduly impressed with the disorganisation, the straggling, the anxiety of the staffs, and other inevitable incidents of such a battle; he sees the exhausted and also the less stubborn fragments of the force, and is impressed with their statements, while the more virile and faithful element, mainly fighting out in front, ignorant or heedless of all such weakness in rear, is largely beyond his view. It is undeniable that during and after their race to the Aniiens front the Australian divisions were witnesses of many incidents that impressed them with a lack of virility in a certain proportion of the British troops. Rumours depre- ciating the resistance offered by parts of the Fifth Army were widespread not only throughout the remainder of the British Army, but among the French population, and were even current in England. The Australian troops were the ctief reinforcement sent to that army by the British command in the later stage of the retirement, and eventually occupied the whole of its remaining front as well as part of the Third Army’s. The Australian soldier was not an unfair critic. If the Performance of a neighbouring unit excited his admiration, no one was so enthusiastic and outspoken in his praise; but, where performance fell short of its expectations, it was quite useless to attempt to gloss over to him such failure.
