About the author
C. T. Dawkins (Dawkins, C. T., 1858–1919) was a writer on military subjects whose known work centers on infantry night operations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Public information about him is limited: his nationality, personal history, and educational background are not clearly recorded, and the only confirmed identity details are his birth and death years together with a single surviving work. His representative book, Night Operations for Infantry, as the title indicates, focuses on the organization and tactical conduct of infantry units under conditions of darkness, and belongs to the practical genre of military training writing. Such texts commonly take the form of regulations, drill manuals, or field handbooks; they are concise in language, emphasize operability, and serve the practical needs of junior officers and unit training. Although the author's life remains little known, this work still offers a useful reference for the study of modern infantry night-tactics thinking.
