Yes I would agree with this Chair. Let me put it to you in this way.  I can understand that thatis the way in which Brigadier Cronje understood the situation. If one were to analyse clinically every specific incident inthis regard and if one were to weigh the process 3B it/...

it might not appear quite like that, but again under BrigadierCronje's particular circumstances I can well understand that thiswould have been his interpretation of these instructions.  
MR DU PLESSIS
  Of course it was not possible to gain instruction for everyaction for one's subordinates and in certain instances commandingofficers only gained information after actions were taken becauseof the need to act immediately, and because of the practical impossibilityto gain instructions before action".  
This is because of the circumstances of war then reigning, doyou agree with this?
