Steven Broomfield Posted 28 January , 2007 Share Posted 28 January , 2007 I've heard two reasons why it was changed: 1. Becase increased motor traffic on the roads made 4 abreats more dangerous/more of a traffic block 2. The reduced size of a Battalion in the 1930's made control of a narrower frontage easier.
