THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL (a) Before starting with a message, ask the following questions if not clear: 1. What is the official designation of the one to whom message is to be delivered? 2. Where is the person to whom it is to be delivered? 3. What is the best and shortest way there, or can I be given a map of the route? 4. Am I to report back as soon as the message is delivered; if not, to whom shall I report? (b) Important messages in writing should have their purport understood by the bearer so that, if necessary, they may be destroyed to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy. (c) On the envelope containing a written message is written: 1. Name of messenger. 2. Date and hour of departure, as 22 Feb.-15, 9.40 A.M. 3. Rate of speed. (d) Agents must thoroughly understand the different rates of speed and how to ride them, as follows: O rdinary (approx imately 5 miles per hour): Walk, 5 minutes Slow trot, 10 " Walk, 5 " Slow trot, 10 " Walk, 5 " Slow trot, 10 " Walk, 5 " Rest, 10 " Riding at this gait and time, the number of minutes of actual travel gives a very close approximation to the tenths of miles traveled. Thus, after riding 18 minutes, the messenger has travelled 1.8 miles. 114
RECONNAISSANCE OF BATTALION POSITION Rapid (7 to 8 miles per hour): Walk, leading horse 5 minutes Slow canter, 10 " Walk, leading horse 5 " Canter, 10 " =7¼ mi. per hr. Walk, leading horse 5 " Canter, 10 " Walk, leading horse 5 " Rest, 10 " Urgent (highest speed consistent with safety and certainty of arrival at destination). Never urge a horse at highest speed, if distance is greater than one mile. The condition of the horse, the weather and the state of the roads may make it necessary to diverge considerably from the instructions given regarding speed. The messenger has got to help get his horse through. In peace time, the horse is more important than the message. In war, it may be the other way. (e) If mounted, and ordered to deliver a written message, and speed is not indicated, ask for it. Oral messages usually suggest the speed; if there is any uncertainty, however, always ask. (f) At all times keep informed as to location of his own subdivision. (g) Note carefully country traversed. (h) Move promptly when on an errand. All military persons are required to render assistance in expediting movements of agents. (i) On reaching designation, call out designation of person sought. (j) Having delivered message: ( a) Ask if there is any reply. (b) If receiver forgets to do so, ask that he initial the envelope and record hour and date thereon. 115
