NAVAL REVIEW AT HAPPY VALLEY

Naval Officers were interested spectators at the Review.

11

It is seldom that the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines have the opportunity of showing their eliciency and smart- ness to the public on shore and the annual inspection of landing parties at Happy Valley is therefore always looked forward to, with the utmost interest. Last week's review on the capacious Race Course was one of the most attractive spectacles of its kind seen during the year and His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Little, endorsed the opinion. of those looking on when he congratulated the men on their turn-out. Over 800 officers and men were drawn up facing the Jockey Club Stands and the Saluting Base which had been erected for the occasion. The parade was under the command of Capt. E. R. Bent, D.S.C., of H.M.S. Berwick, with Cmdr. T. L Beevor, of H.M.S. Medway, as Second-in-Command.
