Who said "Infantry is the queen of the battlefield?"

I couldn't find the quotation attributed to anyone...

Artillery: Technically the use of heavy missiles, during the bulk of the Middle Ages the role of artillery was confined to use in the siege. During the 14th century, however, the English under the generalship of Edward III experimented with combined arms using artillery in the form of archers, infantry and cavalry with devastating effect. Cannons were known as early as 1300, their presence is noted in many sieges, such as at Harfleur and Edward’s siege of Calais in 1346, but until the early 16th century they had little effect on the battlefield proper. During the 18th century the devastating effect of artillery gave it the nickname it still carries to the current day, ‘Queen of the Battlefield.’

In the trenches of the First World War, the 'Great War', the machine gun was queen of the battlefield. In all the major battles - Somme, Ypres, Vimy, Arras, Verdun - it was the machine gun which could decimate whole battalions and which changed the face of warfare.

Although the predominant British machine gun in 1914 and for much of 1915 - it remained so for British imperial troops sited on far-flung battlefields, innovations in machine gun design invariably showing up first on the Western Front - it was gradually replaced from late 1915 onwards by the lighter Lewis Gun. Even so it gained a reputation as the 'Queen of the battlefield' by men of the British Machine Gun Corps founded in October 1915 and remained in use long into the twentieth century.

For some time the one great thing people thought was missing from OFP was real indirect fire weapons. Considered by many as the queen of the battlefield (Chess allusion). It is why the coalition forces in the second Gulf War were happy to leave large enemy armies "Fixed" in position and go round them. Once the enemy ability to move was interdicted by air power, the enemy can either give up or die; as the vast power of artillery destroys them piecemeal.

In the Army, artillery is known as the king of the battlefield, infantry is the queen of the battlefield but I would say that helicopter special ops and rescue are the Prince and in case of 1LT. Long-Archuleta the Princess of the battlefield.

I asked Jesus, "How much do you love me?".
Jesus answered, "This much"
as He stretched His arms and died on the cross for me.
