THE DUTIES OF AN OFFICER . KNOWLEDGE AND CHARACTER . AN ADDRESS IN THE FIELD . The following notes formed the foundation of an address which was lately delivered by a Senior Officer to a School for young Officers , " Somewhere in France . " IN laying before you some remarks on the duties of an officer , I would begin by impressing on you the great importance of your work . You must realize that , however good and skilful the disposition may be , battles must be won by fighting ; the heroism , skill , and firmness of the most junior officers will have the most far - reaching results . You are responsible for the successful leading of your men in battle ; you are responsible for their safety , as far as this can be ensured , while gaining success in battle ; you are responsible for their health , for their comfort , for their good behaviour and discip line . Finally , and not least , you are responsible for maintaining the honour of England , for doing all you can to ensure the security of England , and of our women and our children after us . To bear all these responsibilities successfully you must acquire , first , KNOWLEDGE . You must know what to do and how to do it , in order to lead your men with success and honour , and protect them from destruction or loss , which will be suffered if you are ignorant of your work and of your profession .
