MILITARY TATTOO AT SHAMEEN.
VOTED AN ENORMOUS SUCCESS.
Canton, Sept. G. It is estimated that between four and five hundred people assembled to witness the open air tattoo and display presented by a Company of the 2nd Bn. K.0.S.B. reginant at Shameen last evening, in this way showing their appreciation and undoubted interest in this effort on the part of the troops.
The main attraction of the oven ing was certainly the very fine band of 25 pipers and drummers whose playing of Scottish airs throughout the evening came in for rounds of applause. A touch of realism; from a point of view of war, was supplied by the dis- play of gun-drili given by "C" Company machine gunners, and a section of the F.KS Battery -R.G.A.

A happy little incident, and an impromptu one, was the singing of a new song, at least new to Shameen, "Good night, good night. I'll see you in the morning" as the Tommies marched away, the fact that they were to see their friends, the residents, much earlier than that not being anticipated by the soldiers. But the Committee of the Canton Club had prepared a little surprise for the troops and they were entertained to refresh- ment after the. display.
