The impression we got was that the Germans have so many men available
at the point where they deliver an attack that, as soon as one body
gets tired out or shows signs of losing its nerve under fire, it is
recalled to the rear and replaced by fresh men, who are brought up in
motors and all sorts of vehicles. The used-up men are then taken away,
and very likely they come on again after a rest. That’s an altogether
new way of fighting, but I fancy the Germans go on the principle that
“enough’s as good as a feast” in what they get from our rifle fire: _A
Private of the Manchester Regiment_.
