JURY LIST.
At the present, Officers and N.C.O's are exempted from Jury
duty. I understand that in the Straits Settlements all volunteers
are exemptel. I beg to suggest that the same could be applied in
Hong Kong, with the proviso that it should apply only to members of
the Corps who have pro ved themselves efficient in the preceeding
year.
LIAISON WITH COMMAND HEADQUARTERS & REGULAR UNITS.
I desire to express my appreciation of the increased Liaison
that now exists between the Corps and the above. I am particularly
grateful to Headquarters, China Command for all help and advice
they have given me. On their suggestion, during the past year all
our units have been officially affiliated with one or other of the
Regular Units. This will tend to closer co-operation and efficiency.
OFFICERS AND OTHER RANKS OF THE CORES.
The standard of efficiency throughout the Corps has
undoubtedly increased during the past year. It has been a very busy
year for the Corps, consequently the average attendance has far
exceeded those for many years past.
I desire particularly to commend those members of the Corps
who comprised the Corp's Syndicate last year for the Kirkpatrick
Cup - for which they compiled a remarkably complete and able Essay.
It was comprised of :-
Major E.J.R. Mitchell, 0.B.E.
Captain H. Owen-hughes,
Captain D.W. Mortlock,
Captain E.G. Stewart,
Lieutenant C. de S. Robertson,, M.M.
Sergeant .C. Hudson, M.C.
Corporal A. N. Braude,
Frivate W.k. Robinson.
