| Malcolm Carr was now in charge of a garrison of four effectives all told. |
| General Joffre replied by a rapid change in the position of his effectives. |
| As we had only seven effectives, and they had more than forty, it was no slight task. |
| After a fortnight of intense fighting I Corps had been reduced from 18,000 men to just under 3,000 effectives by 12 November. |
| By the returns, Cleburne's brigade was the largest, having 2,750 effectives. |
| I have not twelve thousand effectives, and of these not nine thousand fit for duty. |
