It ends in an era in which a lance corporal in Bosnia was fixing his position by satellite, and troops in the Gulf were being trained in how to deal with biological and chemical warfare. Between these two eras were the transforming experiences of two world wars, of new tactics and above all the continuing impact of new technology"--Jacket. Great Britain. Army History.
