ABSTRACT
After the Armistice the possibility of another continental war seemed remote; moreover, political and economic constraints militated against major re-equipment and reorganization (1). But the recent war had brought changes and stimulated ideas that would not be quickly forgotten, and posed questions it had not answered. Artillery had emerged as the dominant arm on the battlefield, ending the pre-war pre-eminence of manoeuvre over firepower; but the future role of artillery and its relationship to other arms was unclear.
