Richard Meinertzhagen Quotes:
Life: March 3, 1878 - June 17, 1967
Birthday: March 3
Death: June 17
Jan 1899 You must aim at the Staff College, but for the love of God never become a professional Staff Officer. Never lose touch with the troops. Remember that you serve the troops and it is the troops who matter. They are the folk who win victories, take care of your men and they will never let you down.
