It is hoped that the same facility will be accorded to men who obtained commissions after arrival in Great Britain.

The Association has lost six of its members in the war, namely, Major W: H. Dent, Capt. L, E. P. Jones, Lieut. B. S. Lawrence, Lieut. HS. Oppe, Capt. G. U. Robins, and Capt. J. C. E.
