was published

the other day. The names include famous soldiers who have cheerfully sacri- ficed rank of the highest kind to become leaders of the Home Guard.

Seven full Generals, one Lieu- tenant-General, Ex Major- Generals and seven Brigadier- Generals have agreed to take rank which in only three instances is as high as Brigadier. Of the rest Colonels and 56 65 are to be Lieutenant-Colonels. The three Area Commanders who take the rank of Brigadiers are:

Gen. Sir Charles Parker Deedes, who was formerly Director-Gen- eral of Personal Services at the War Office and when he retired in 1937 was Military Secretary to the Secretary for War.

Major-Gen. Lord Loch, a Lord in Waiting to the Kin and a for- mer Captain of the King's Body- guard of the Yeoman of the Guard; and.

Romer, Gen. Sir Cecil Frane's Adjutant-General to the Forces until he retired in 1935.
