martin and a See also:mouse. The " martin " as a See also:matter of fact shares with See also:Vauban and other professional soldiers of Louis XIV. the See also:glory of having made the French army the first and best regular army in See also:Europe. See also:Great nobles, such as See also:Turenne, See also:Conde and See also:Luxemburg, led this army and inspired it, but their fame has obscured that of the men who made it manageable and efficient. It was about this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time that the soldier of See also:fortune, who joined a regiment with his own arms and equipment and had learned his See also:trade by varied experience, began to give See also:place to the soldier regularly enlisted as a recruit in permanent regiments and trained by his own See also:officers. The consequence of this was the introduction of a See also:uniform, or nearly uniform See also:system of drill and training, which in all essentials has endured to the See also:present See also:day.

William, just as Jean Jacques de Fourilles, the organizer of the See also:cavalry, who was forced into an untimely See also:charge at Seneffe (1674) by a brutal taunt of Conde, and there met his death, was the forerunner of See also:Zieten and Seydlitz. These men, while differing from the creators of the Prussian army in that they contributed nothing to the See also:tactics of their arms, at least made tactics possible by the thorough drilling and organization they imparted to the formerly heterogeneous and hardly coherent elements of an army.
