'WHAT THE WAR HAS DONE.
"Ex-Regular" writes in the Daily Moil as followsThe majority of line régiments consist of two battalions each; one is re- tained for home service and the other sent abroad. Each battalion has to serve an allotted number of years over-seas, ́and then comes back and is relieved by the home battalion.
When war broke out every single Regular battalion, with 1 exceptions, W28

over.
serve
But where a battalion brought home for the war had only a year, or perhaps two, left to abroad, the remaining period of foreign service will be cancelled and the battalion previously serving at home will go abroad. This will save the unnecessary expense of sending out and reliev- ing again regiments which have only a year or two left to serve abroad
There is a roster of foreign stations which are usually taken in sequence. Thus One route might be Gibraltar West Indies South Africa-China- India-Aden-home. Another Malta-Egypt-Singapore India and home. "The writer, who has had some experience of many of our foreign stations, only regrets at this moment that he is not to be among those who will gu troop- ing this autumn.
For a young man there is no comparison between serving abroad and serving at home.. Our vast Colonial Empire provides for our officers and men a unique opportunity of seeing the world at no cost to themselves-of sport, big-game shooting, and acquaint- ance with foreign races, which will be admething to look back upon in the years to come.
When a battalion goes abroad or moves from one station to another it moves as a family. The colonel and his lady, the majors and their ladies, the cats, and dogs, and children, and all the household goods of the battalion down to the drummer boy's pet monkey are all - collected board a troopship and away they go. The voyage is not always one of complete tranquillity, as it is a well-known fact that even the happiest of families are apt: to differ when they travel. Some officers send their wives and
оц
children by mail steamer, but this entails an extra expense which they have to face them- selves.
Before the war married officers were as a rule anxious not to serve abroad. But, with changed cenditions, not only the officers. but their wives may be only too delighted to have the opportunity of going to India, South Africa, or Egypt. From a woman's point) of view the servant problem- which has reached in many house- holds in England to-day a point capable of only one solution is solved very simply in Egypt. or India, where excellent servants abound in any number. In the Chinese "boy" is, probably the best servant in the world.
