For that reason it was of prime importance that the soldier should be able to march well. The general public has a mistaken idea of the length of a heavy march, the tendency being to place the esti- mate altogether too high, A fair day's march for any army is twelve miles.

From two and one half to three miles an hour is good marching, but the larger the marching force the snore slowly it moves.
