of the Battery is in a large measure the result of the assistance
given by the Officers and N.C.0's of the 20th Battery, R.A.
In January 1935 owing to the transfer of Captain L.F.
Nicholson to the Flying Arm the Command of the Battery was take n
over by Captain T. Addis Martin who formerly commanded some years

As regards recruiting it is gratifying to see that
recruits have been forthcoming and, but for several resignations
due chiefly to transfers to other Ports, an increase in numbers
would have resulted; as it is, numbers still remain around thirty.
The present personnel of the unit display considerable
keenness and although the present armament was taken over as
recently as January 1934 as many as four N.C.O's have attended
14-day courses at Yaverland, Isle of Wight.

were carried out.
