The Defence of Duffer\'s Drift\'sstyle of literary fiction has been copied by several authors, making this author an influence upon the writings of others. Some examples are provided below, including: a primer on World War I battalion level combined arms tactics incorporating new types of warfare (tanks, machine guns, and aviation), a mechanized battalion level primer, a military combat service support example, one that is non-military related, and one adopting the parable to operations in Iraq.
The first example is \"Battle of Booby\'s Bluffs,\"[6]originally published in 1921 by an Army officer under the pseudonym, Major Single List. It is important for its \"lessons-learned\" examination of the new weapons introduced in the Great War (most notably tanks, machine guns and aero planes) and how these innovations required learning new combined arms tactics. In the style of \"Duffer\'s Drift,\" a hapless battalion commander faces a battle scenario in a series of six dreams. In the first dream, he makes so many mistakes as to prove catastrophic for him and his men. But he learns a few more things about tactics and leadership through each dream, until at last he leads his men to victory through the treacherous terrain of Booby\'s Bluffs. Included with the dreams are notations to real life mistakes made by American commanders during the War.
