“INDICATION AND RECOGNITION.”
The methods of “indication and recognition,” as taught at Hythe before the war, have proved most useful. This fact has been brought out in the accounts of the most successful machine gun actions, as has also the great value of the use of range cards and indication points. Targets are generally easy to indicate, as men are more alert than in peace-time.
Training in indication, recognition, fire orders, and judging distance, can be given at any time, as no apparatus is required.
This is also valuable, as it trains all ranks in a quick understanding of directions given, study of ground, and trains the eye in quick observation.
