William Garrard (soldier)

William Garrard (d. 1587) was an English soldier and a writer on military tactics. He is known for The Arte of VVarre, completed by a certain Captain Hitchcock, and published four years after Garrard's death.[1] J. W. Fortescue calls it the earliest military pamphlet written by an Englishman.[2] The title page states that the author had served with the King of Spain for fourteen years and died in 1587.
