Tommy Atkins ARMY SPORTS
PARADE
The spotlight this week features a departing sports», man in double champion Major Sam Biggart, RAMC, of the British Military Hospital, Bowen Road, holder of the Army Golf title, and this year's Squash Racquets Cham* plon. Sam will be sorely missed, particularly by his Corps where he has been the leading Bght in both sports, with, in addition, above average displays at hockey for his unit.
Added to a very busy professional life, Sam has also found time to act as Chairman of both Golf and Squash Sections of the Land Forces Sports Board, and it goes without saying that both sections of these sports are at present as healthy as a medical specialist can make them.
