The Battery, though much below strength, are very keen, and have, had for the first time, a mechanis ed field day, on the lines which would be adopted on mobilisation.

The Engineering Company have had a very succesful year, having won the Efficiency and Musketry Cups, and a number of prizes at the Rifle Meeting.

The D.EL. training camps at Pak Sha Wan were very well attended. Corps Bignals have been improv ed in officiency by the acquisition of a short ware wireless set which was taken into use in camp, and recantly by a new and lighter body for the signal truck...
