Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ...A patrol may be composed of any number from eight to 50 men. (b) The whole or part of the battalion scouts may combine to form a fighting patrol, in other words, a picked platoon. In either case it is essential that a patrol should be complete as a unit so that the men all know and have confidence in one another. (c) A fighting patrol should take up its se lected position as soon after dark as possible. The most suitable position is one containing a large number of shell holes, and where the enemy patrols are likely to be encountered. When the position is taken up, all movements should cease, for it is impossible for a large fighting patrol to move about without being discovered by a small hostile party. (d) In a trench raid, scouts will be best em ployed in--(1) Reconnoitering the trenches chosen for the raid, and showing the point of entry, exit, etc., to the officers and non-commissioned officers who are to carry out the raid. (2) Act as guides, flank guards and cover party during the raid. When a patrol is sent out for the purpose of bombing a sector, post or machine gun emplacement, always leave a covering party of scouts in shell holes about 20 yards from the enemy''s wire. Two men should throw two grenades each, the levers of all four grenades being released at the same time. As soon as the grenades have been thrown the two men immediately rejoin the covering scouts and remain there until all hostile machine gun fire has ceased. (e) The equipment of scouts for fighting pa trols should be the same as for reconnoitering patrols, with the addition of a certain number of rifles and bayonets. Owing to a small number taking part, they should in addition wear some distinctive mark. (f) Each man should carry three grenades, in addition to his rifle... C. D. A.
