ARMSTRONG'S XIS

(By R. Abbit)

In speaking of the Australian Imperial Forces team in my last article I see an error crept into the headlines and it was of course by no means Warwick Armstrong's first appearance! He was their

captain and a veteran player. It is perhaps not generally knownP & O-BRITISH INDIA-APCAR AND

that on their way home to Australia the team, without Armstrong, made a short and very successful tour in South Africa. They played eight eleven a sido matches of which they won six and drew two. Of these games two were against South Africa though of course they do not rank as Test Matches.
