_The Director_: “Captain James, let us assume that you have gotten your
squad here. Tell us just what orders you would give?”
_Captain James_: “I would say:
“‘There is no further information of the enemy. Our troops continue
the march.
“‘We will take up a position here.
“‘Each man get into a good position along this line (indicating)
where he has a good field of fire, especially on the road.
“‘Hasker, you keep a lookout towards the right flank.
“‘Elliott, you keep a lookout down the road.
“‘Johnson you keep a lookout towards the left flank.
“‘I will be here (indicate).’”
_The Director_: “I think that would cover the situation for the time
being. Would you make any personal reconnaissance to the flanks?”
_Captain James_: “No, sir, I would stay right here. If anything happens
I want to be here to direct my men. If I considered a flank
reconnaissance necessary I would send Corporal Jenkins to make it.”
_The Director_: “You are right. Your place is right here with the squad
at this time.”
