THE SHANGHAI VOLUNTEERS
Training Season in Full Swing
THREE WELL ATTENDED COURSES
"Shanghai, Oct: 26. The Shang- hai. Volunteer Corps training sea- son is now in full swing, and the new arrangement for training in- dividual during the first part of it is proving satisfactory, Collective training is to follow after the new year.
Three courses, have been held, for rifle, light automatic and ma- chine gun, and were probably the best attended in the history of the corps. Results were better than normal, thanks to the specially selected Instructors, all with Hythe qualifications, except those from. the 4th Regt.. United States Marine Corps, who were also very good.
It was amusing to see British Army instructors teaching the in- tricacies of small arms to Japan- ese who spoke no English, but their knack of imparting knowledge pro- duced very successful results. The next item on the list is a general infantry course.
The machine gun course had sequel yesterday, when teams from the Armoured Car Company, Air Defence Company and American M. G. Company took part in a stoppage competition.
