Allied Forces
The tactics of the allied forces were at the beginning of the wars different from the British tactics. They tried to use e.g. the column.

They became more and more similar to the British systems, although with differences, so was the Prussian line three men deep, in contrast to the two men line of the British army.

Famous quotes containing the words allied and/or forces:
“Can love be in aught allied to dissipation? Let us love by refusing, not accepting one another. Love and lust are far asunder. The one is good, the other bad.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Silence is the general consecration of the universe. Silence is the invisible laying on of the Divine Pontiff’s hands upon the world. Silence is at once the most harmless and the most awful thing in all nature. It speaks of the Reserved Forces of Fate. Silence is the only Voice of our God.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
