Excerpt from Report of the Secretary of War

Although fully aware that it is much easier to criticize operations after the result is known than to direct them at the time, I shall not hesitate to invite attention to what appear to be evident mistakes on either side; this, not for the purpose of finding fault, or instituting com parisons, but with the hope that it may serve to draw the attention Of our officers to the same points, and, perhaps, assist in preventing similar errors on our own part hereafter. From the general interest felt in the late war, it is more than probable that every officer of our army followed step by step the movements of the allies from Gallipoli to Varna, from Varna to Old Fort, and thence to the scene of the gigantic strife in the Heracleidan Chersonese.
