Night Operations for Infantry

About the author

Born in 1858 and dead in 1919, C. T. Dawkins is identified in available sources as Brigadier-General Charles Tyrwhitt Dawkins, a senior British Army officer. Project Gutenberg’s edition of Night Operations for Infantry credits him as the compiler and describes the book as written for company officers, showing his role as a military author as well as a career soldier.

The record that could be confirmed during this search points to him as a professional officer whose writing focused on practical instruction rather than literary fame. That makes his work especially interesting for listeners drawn to first-hand military thinking from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Reliable biographical detail beyond those basics was limited in the sources retrieved here, so this overview stays close to what could be confirmed directly.
