INCIDENTS OF BUSH WARFARE. 95 
With regard to the attack on the Gate Pah, of which Colonel Adam spoke, the 
artillery might have been better used, but wehad some big howitzers and mortars of 
different sorts there. About the working along the bush paths of which Colonel 
O’Brien had asked, it was difficult to give advice to fit every circumstance that 
might arise but that matter was dealt with very ably ina R.E. “ Occasional” 
paper written by Lieut.-Colonel A. R. Dorward, R.E. It was a duty that was 
often better performed by native troops than English. 
Masor-GEneRAL Lorp WiLi1am Szymour said he hoped Colonel Burgmann 
would convey to the Royal Artillery Institution, what he was sure they were all 
feeling, their best thanks for the lecture they had heard that afternoon. He was 
sorry to say that his own experience of bush fighting was nil. He begged to move 
on behalf of the company assembled, that a cordial vote of thanks be accorded to 
Major Conner for his interesting lecture. This was carried with applause.
