ARMOURED CAR SECTION.
Officer Commanding
Second Lieutenant G.C. Moutrie (on leave)
Sergeant J.S. Flogg.
Personnel. The strength of the Section on 24th March 1936
was 1 Officer, 18 Rank and Filo, as compared with 1 Officer, 21
Rank and File at same date last year.
Of the strength shown, 1 Officer and 6 Rank and File are on
leave, leaving 12 Rank and File in the Colony.
During the year under review, 2 mon resigned on leaving the
Colony, 1 man transferred to No.2 (Scottish) Company, 1 man
transforrod to the Air arm, and 1 man joined.
Vehicles. There are on charge, as last year, two
Thornycroft A.F.V's. each carrying two Vickors Guns. As it is very
undesirable to use a single car on any patrol, I would re-iterate
the necessity of two more cars as soon as financial conditions
permit. I suggest that, when the purchase of new cars
entertained, a smaller type of vehicle be considered.
