GAULLE Charles de L.A.S., Paris, 28 July 1936, to Paul Reynaud; 2 pages in-8 on the printed letterhead of the Presidency of the Conseil Supérieur de la Défense Nationale. On the usefulness of the specialised corps. "I'd like to come back to the image you mentioned yesterday, which I think is very apt and striking. Creating a specialised corps is like putting an iron at the end of a spear. Diluting mechanical equipment is like putting a pin in a pincushion. [...] Attached is a very good article by General Duval in 'Les Débats' on the defensive and offensive army (22nd July). There are ideas there to be used". Crack on the left side and paperclip mark without affecting the text. Bibliography: Not in L.N.C. (unpublished?)
