MESSAGE TO THE CORPS To the Officers, Warrant Officers Non-Commissioned Officers and men of the Corps. I should like to say, just this:-

When I first arrived in this Colony, I had very little Idea of the work I should be expected to do. I was under the impression that my task would not be a very strenuous one. I soon found out that I was mistaken and that had been reckoning without the

compliment which we all heard with much happiness.

GROWTH OF CORPS The formation of a Corps Pay Section is significant of the growth of the Corps, which as you know, sives at a full strength of 1,500 men. It is my hope and beller that we shall attain to that full number before long. But, in order to do so, as your Colonel has point- ed out forcibly, it is necessary that the Corps should be able to recruit something just under 200 more British Volunteers,

TRIBUTE TO COL. ANDERSON But before I alt down I wish on behalf not only of all those pre- sent, buy on behalf of the Colony as a whole, to pay a must heart- telt "tribute of gratitude and ad- miration to Colonel Anderson for his unfailing zeal and successful service during the period of his command. He ends his report for satisfed am well last year:-I with the work of the Volunteers during the last 12 months. Their keeness has been admirable.

NOT AN ALARMIST

It is with the greatest regret that we shall part with Colonel Anderson, but though we must lose him from our side, the Corps will
