I think this is very good analysis, how many peopel read Infantry Magazine outside of a select few. Now if Wilf had an agent and renamed it some kind of unique war theory so the Guvmint would have to spend millions on research and get 14 PH'Ds to explain it. He would go down as the greatest living UK Military Theorist known.
