4E MILITARY SQUARE.
A Formal Borrowed by Wallace
 From the cleminqs.


 From the Jennings.
 The greatest of all Scottish anniver saries is that of Bannockburn. fought in the year 1314. Apart from its bear ing on the independence of Scotland the battle will always have ah excep. of view. as Bannock kburn may be sa i'd to have been the birthplace of the British square. Proud Edwards" army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that of the Scots. on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed Of foot folk armed with tlir spear. and these Bruce threw into "$ehil- tromS. or obIong squares, q formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings. who had employed it with sue cess at Courtray to resist the charge of the English cavalry.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and BannockburR proved that he was poWcrless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in ..schltrom.' or he'd geho@. forma- , lion, and these two battles revolution ized the tactics of the continent and | of our own island Profting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburp. the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliart success at Crecy and still more at Agincourt. As it was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn. so it was they again who at Balaklava were the first to discard it with their thin red line" and now, owing to our changed conditions of warfare, it is discarded altogether London Chron-
