It's pretty interesting to read the piece a hundred years (give or take a decade) later. The most applicable advice are those that are more abstract such as the importance of combat engineering, the need to keep pushing the envelope of the moment, and being on the ball wrt seizing armories and gun shop inventory. At the same time there's also a lot of examples that have not aged well. Many of the examples in the work presumes single-shot firearms that suffer inherent disadvantages that modern repeating firearms don't. Likewise, the common infantryman these days are accustomed to working in small formations due to evolutions in training and communications technology. And then there are technological inventions such as motorized and armored vehicles, airpower, drones, etc. that simply didn't exist back when the work was published. For that we would inevitably have to look at other conflicts such as Vietnam, China, Angola, Cuba, Iraq, Asghanistan, etc. for examples relevant to the present day.
