Lieutenant J.H. Bottomley.
INSTRUCTION. Systematic instruction has been carried out in
respect of Daylight Signalling Lamps, D.III Field Telephone Sets,
Signal Office Routine and Procedure by our own N.C.O's and senior
trained men. Later on in the season, instruction in flag work was
re-common ced, by starting all recruits on this branch of signalling.
Instruction on the 10 line cordless telephone exchange was also
carried out, preparatory to the camp period.
Instruction by the Royal Corps of Signals instructor has
been given in respect of the Mark "C" Wireless Trench Set, the
commencement of training of the new recruits, and recapitulation
work preparatory to camp, and practical work in all branchs dur ing
camp period. He has also kept all signal equipment in as good a
state of repair as possible considering their age.
Owing to the numerical strength of the Section, the annual
classification of signallers was not held, the large numbers of
recruits not having joined until the end of the season, and the
remainder having had several years experience.
PRACTICAL TRAINING. This was confined solely to the camp
period and was spread over the four week-ends, each member
averaging over 6 days in camp. With this satisfactory attendance,
the training programme was successfully completed in all branches.
Efficient communi cation was established with the Royal
Corps of Signals Wireless Set at Kowloon by our own "C" Trench Set.
This set is taken from place to place by the Corps Signals Lorry
which acts as a Signal Office. Duplex working has been established
from every possible point within a 10 mile radius of Fanling
Station.
Our own 10 line co rdless exchange and telephone
instruments arrived from England during the season and provided efficient telephonic communication between all important points
in camp every week-end
Practical training in line telephone and telegraphy, flag,
