Battle of Tamai #2 square breach :: why? edit

  • "The square broke and was flooded with a rush of tribesmen" :: it could be that forming that square, not on flat ground but in a rocky desert wadi, was greatly impeded by lack of room to move and steep rocky ground and boulders and spurs of rock, and perhaps also by desert thorn bushes. Is there any proof of that? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:36, 11 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • Among some British army regiments, "broken square" is still a very controversial matter. Please keep this page separate for easy reference. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:11, 15 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
