CHAPTER XII SPECIAL FEATURES OF BRITISH WAR ORGANIZATION The most recent developments of Organization are well illustrated in that of the British Army, which has been lately reorganized in accordance with the trend of modern views as to the conduct of War. Ruskin once wrote that no modern man could ever realize the amount of _thought_ built into a Gothic cathedral, where the size and detail of each part have been designed with reference to the proportion it bears to the whole, as well as to the number and dimensions of its fellow members. It would be equally impossible to sum up in a short chapter the _thought_ built into the organization of the British Army. To appreciate its details demands a thorough knowledge of the working of each Arm and of each Administrative Service. Each is planned to be of such strength and composition as to enable it to perform all that is required of it, and to ensure that all shall work in harmonious co-operation under the strain and friction of War. Among the points which are especially worth noticing are the following, which bear out the principles of Organization dwelt on in previous chapters. ORGANIZATION BY DIVISIONS It was shown in Chapter V. that small armies should be formed of Divisions and not of Army Corps. This principle has been adopted.
