"He understood the fundamentals of war – that soldiers must be trained before they can fight, fed before they can march, and relieved before they are worn out. He understood that front-line commanders should be spared responsibilities in rear, and that soundness of organization and administration is worth more than specious short cuts to victory" (William Slim on General Giffard from "Defeat Into Victory: (Pan Military Classics Series)"
