Hir appreciation, and in some directions perhaps his criticism, of what we are doing is a splendid tone for us: but I think that the greatest value of his visit is that it has caused us all to realise that this Brigade is no isolated paro- chial unit, but, as it were, the Hong kong regiment in a great Imperial army which is for ever militant In
