Soldier and scientist

Abstract

Most military libraries contain a number of works regarding the soldier's relationship with his colleagues, such as: “Soldier and Sailor "," Soldier and Airman ", " Soldiers and Statesmen " and so on. It is curious perhaps that no work has so far appeared entitled "Soldier and Scientist ". Yet, from this fact the point emerges that   whereas-in the past, the combination of the soldier and the scientist was uncommon, it is now being appreciated that such is indeed desirable and people are perhaps wishing to improve their knowledge on the subject
