The following comes from American history.

“The American Indian chief looked scornfully at the soldiers on the field before him. How foolish it was to fight as they did, forming their perfect battle lines out in the open, standing shoulder to shoulder in their bright red uniforms. The British soldiers – trained for European war – did not break rank, even when braves fired at them from under the safe cover of the forest. The slaughter continued for two hours. By then 1,000 of the 1,459 British soldiers were killed or wounded, while only 30 of the French and Indian warriors firing at them were injured.
