Excerpt from Map Reading: And Intelligence Training
Map Reading and the Training of the Intelligence Section, i. e., Scouts, Snipers and Observers are a group of subjects which every officer should personally take an interest in.
Not only because they are, as subjects, most interesting, but because they are of the most vital importance when in actual warfare.
To be unable to take a map of a strange sector of country, and thoroughly understand what every line and sign means, is to be helpless in the face of the enemy.
Consequently, I would advise every officer, N C. O and man to improve his knowledge on map reading and its component parts, as active service in war will call on them every day for a thorough understanding of this subject.
