... army complains that all commendation and promotion is reserved for the staff. Provincials complain of similar injustice, but there is this wide difference, the one has the 'Times' for its advocate, the other is unheard or unheeded.

His example was not imitated; indeed he himself probably had no serious hope that it would be.
