In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it.

Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning.

The commander must establish personal and comradely contact with his men, but without giving away one inch of authority.

Always in a moment of extreme danger things can be done which had previously been thought impossible.

Winning the men's confidence requires much of a commander. He must exercise care and caution, look after his men, live under the same hardships, and-above all- apply self discipline. But once he has their confidence, his men will follow him through hell and high water.

If I had to take hell, I would use the Australians to take it and the New Zealanders to hold it.
