THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL (k) If aware of the nature of the message carried, after delivering same, report any circumstances affecting the situation which have arisen since you left the sender. (l) Always repeat a verbal message, word for word, in the presence of sender, making certain you understand the meaning of the message. This is most important; it is better to permit the sending officer to think you are stupid, than to render your errand fruitless or perhaps even disastrous. (m) After diligent search, if person to whom message is sent cannot be found, endeavor to find some other person who can take full advantage of the information conveyed. Whether or not this can be done, always report back to the sender, with full facts in the case. (n) Unless otherwise directed, always report back to the sender, whether or not the message was delivered. (o) When a messenger carries a message unsealed, or not marked "confidential," he will permit commanders along the route to read same. He sees that they initial envelope and record hour and date when they read the contents. When it is desirable that neighboring troops get information from a message sent to a superior, that fact is noted on the envelope, and it is then the duty of the messenger to see that they get it. He must see that they also: (a) Initial the envelope. (b) Record the hour and date thereon. SCOUTS 1. Act as route markers. 2. Usually operate in pairs, a scout corporal and scout private with each reconnaissance officer. 116
RECONNAISSANCE OF BATTALION POSITION 3. Understand the points in carrying information, as outlined under "Agents." 4. Regarding reports, scouts must keep in mind the following: (a) Word a report as you would a telegram, brief and clear, but omit nothing that is important. (b) Write legibly. The person receiving it should have no difficulty in making it out. (c) Names of persons and places should be in block letters. (d) Avoid vagueness; be accurate; report facts, not fancies. (e) Report hearsay information as such. In every case state the source of your information. (f) Always give the reason for your surmises. (g) In reporting about the enemy, report should be so worded as to answer the following questions: 1. By whom seen? 2. How many? 3. What arm? 4. Where? 5. What doing? 6. At what time seen? (h) A report is of no value unless it gives: 1. Designation of sender or sending detachment. (Such as "centre scout.") 2. Place. 3. Date and hour, as 4 Feb.-08, 2.45 P.M. 4. Signature. (Writer's surname and rank.) (i) When more than one report may be sent by the same scout to the same recipient, reports should be numbered consecutively. (j) Copies should be kept of important messages or reports. 117
