Report on the
Hong Kong Volunteer Artillery Practice Camp 1914,
I inspected the Hong Kong Volunteer Artillery at Gun
Practice on the 15th, 16th and 17th January 1914.
(1). The camp was at Hanghau in the New Territorțee and
practice was carried out from the 10 pår B.L. Guns from the
high ground to the north of the village at targets placed on
the slopes of Chin Lan Chau hill to the west. The practice
from the 5 inch B.L.howitzers was carried out from a position
inside the defended area of Devils Peak at targets placed on
and amongst the Southern spurs and slopes of Chin Lan Chu hill.
(2). The officers pos2e88 a fair knowledge of gunnery.
(3). The drill of the gun detachments was generally accurate but slow. The slowness is due to want of practice on ground
resembling that likely to be occupied on service.
(4). A closer study of Field Artillery Training is required.
Ranges were usually ordered by B.C's in the wrong sequence,
unauthorised orders were at times given, this is likely to
cause confusion.
(5). More experience is required by the B.0's. They improved
even during the three days practice.
(6). Fairly good, but B.C's very slow in translating their
observation into orders. Quickness in this respect can only be
obtained by frequent practice and long experience. If officers
could spare the time to attend all the practice carried out by
the Royal Artillery from the field guns and howitzers, the
fighting efficiency of the Volunteer Batteries would be greatly
improved.
(7). Poor at first, greatly improved latterly.
