    barrelled i2'8 has a fantastic appearance. When one examines the 8'8
    with the eye of a technician, one realises that it is the most beautiful
    weapon yet fashioned, with the exception of the
    12-8.

    With a new type of weapon, much often depends on the hands into which it
    is first delivered. If it comes first into clumsy, incapable hands, we
    are very liable to write it off. We had that experience, nearly, with
    the '34 machine gun. One must never condemn a weapon because one has not
    got the hang of how to use it. The '34 machine gun fired consistently,
    even in the greatest cold, as soon as we found the right lubricating oil
    for it.

    The grenade-throwers issued to the Engineers, which were completely
    noiseless, were rejected time after time for one reason after another;
    and I must say that, every time I poked my nose into a report on the
    subject, the reasons given for rejection seemed to me to be, to say the
    least of it, very thin.

    If one restricts instruction to the essentials, one can teach a soldier
    all he requires to know for all practical purposes in three months. The
    rest he will learn gradually, with experience. Under war conditions, a
    soldier learns more in three months than he learns in a year in
    peace-time. Instruction acquired in the face of the enemy cannot be
    bettered." [pages 669-670]
