PARADE
THE CHINA MAIL, WEDNESDAY, APRIE 6, 1955,
The Top Spot on the Sports Parade this week is given over to the unwelcome task of saying 'Au revoir to the sportsmen of the 25th Field Regiment, Royal Artil- lery who have graced our community for so long.
During the time the regiment has been in Hongkong its sportsmen have made a full and efficient contribution to our sporting affairs. From soccer to softball....from rugby to rowing....from basketball to boxing....they have made a lingering mark for themselves, and their departure leaves us in the poorer in many different, spheres..
In Army sport one becomes hardened to the departure of sporting friends and it is indeed with a sincere wish of 'Good luck wherever your travels take you....that we say good-bye to the Two Five Field'.
