Five Years' Work

By

H. V. Morton

TT is said that an old lady, on hear-

ing that her nephew had joined an Octu, remarked that she had no Ides the Russians had come in on our side.

The word Oclu., which is now heard upon the lips of so many thou- sauds of our young men, is the Army abbreviation for Omeer Cadet Train- ing Unit.

It will be agreed that, of all the abbreviations created by this War, it easily wins Grst prize for ugliness, It is now the rule that every off- cer in the new Army must first serve ' six months in the ranks, but I heard a rumour in the War Ofice the other day that this period may be shor tened.

The need for officers continues to be urgent.in an Army that is expand- ing so rapidly.

וי

In Three Months

At the present time, however, a suitable candidate, having completed six months service as a private sol- dier, Is recommended by his com manding officer to one of the training units.

Hero an eighteen months' course is crammed into three months, and if at the end of that time the young man passes his examinations he goes on

"Officers-to-be reçoive instruction in the use of Bren guns.

School for OFFICERS

Icave to awalt the appearance of his nome in the "London Gazette" and the arrival of a parchment from the King.

This parchment is his commission. an Interesting word which dates from the time before there was a standing army, when noblemen raised levies by Royal Command by virtue of a warrant, or commission, signed by the Monarch.

The warding of a commission is silli pleasantly archale. It reads:

"Given at our Court of Saint James's by His Majesty's command

to our Trusty and Well Be loved, Greetings; We do by these Presents Constitute and Appoint you to be second-leuten- ant in our Land Forces."

On receiving this document, the new lleutenant may wear oficer's uniform and put up the badge of his rank one star, or pip, as it is com- monly called, and go out to acknow.. Jedge his first salute.

All Equal

In the eyes of the Army Council, all Octus are equal.

They all work to the same syllabus, except, of course, those who train specialists, such as signallers, and they all turn out their cadets to the same specified standard.

Even Sandhurst and its opposite number, Woolwich, known to the Army as "the Shop." are ordinary Octus to-day, and there are now no special privileges attached to either of those two famous training grounds for the Regular Army.

Sandhurst alone has one speciality: all officers destined for the Brigade of Guards must go there, but other- wise a cadet may just as easily and himself at Sandhurst as anywhere clse.

Thinking it would be interesting to see: Sandhurst functioning as a demo- cratie Octu, I went there to other morning and was fortunate enough to arrive in a brief gleam of winter

Bunshine.

Good To Look At

I had no idea that Sandhurst.15.00 good to look nt. It is a huge, low Regency stucco building set in the middle of a lovely park.

Like the Hymnal; it may be divided Into Ancient and Modern: the ancient In the grand Regency building with old cannon standing in front of it, and the modern is a vast and regret- table Edwardian extension which has only one virtue, that from many neighbouring viewpoints. It is inviil- ble.

As I drove through the park and came within sight of the dignified old building, I thought for a moment that Sandhurst had changed its sex,

and prefer to be treated 15 mch, would have a grand time in the A.T.S. at Sandhurst!

I found the Orderly Room, where the Adjulant told me the strength of the unit

They are all sorts: young men for the Guards; young men for the ins the Royal fantry; young men for Armoured Corps; young mẹn, whọ bear the names of feld-marshals and generals; young men whose names are as yet unknown to military fame

They come from public schools, council schools, from oMees, from factorles, from near, from far, even from New Zealand and Australia.

Sandhurst is now divided into two wings; an infantry wing and a Royal Armoured Corps wing." The course is a strenuous one, and a man has to work hard if he aspires to pass with credit.

How They Study!

Divided into cleven main subjects, a. Sandhurst course consists of a total of 072 periods of study, devoted in varying degree to those subjects.

An ides of the comparative Impor- lance which they occupy in the train- Ing of an officer may be gathered from the number of periods, devated

to each.

Tasiles coma first, by a long way. with 228 periods; then comes Weapon Training with 82. Company Command with 64, Mop Reading with 55, Field Engineering with 64, Drill with 48, Physlen! Training with 43, Mechant cal Vehicle Training with 40, Organs isation and Military Law with 20, Special Lectures with 10, and Aut Gas Troining with 11.

All these main subjects split up." into a bewildering series ut sub. divisions.

Take one of the most simple-Or- ganisation and Military Law.

This boils down to more than 20 separate subjects of military · impor- tance, such as organisation, supply in war, evacuation" of wounded, ́vr- dnance services, battalion and com- pany administration, messing, taking over a company, obice work, censor ship, security, prisoners, reinforce- ments, billeting önd hygiene.

It seemed to me that, as it to un- derline the Guards tradition and to set n good example to the young men, Guards sergeants stamp a bit harder at Sandhurst than elsewhere, and

Land more rigidly to attention.

Discipline is obviously strict, and manners ore correspondingly good.

When, accompanied by an officer, I made a tour of the hoge building. passing down long corridors, young men instantly froze at our approach, and even groups late for a lecture, coming down a side turning at about fifty miles an hour, managed to pull up sharply and stand with the thumbs on the seams of the trousersi

"It's Heaven!"

I encountered a young man, the son of a distinguished general, who has just completed six months as a pri vate at a Guards-depot-1-asked-him- if he noticed any difference.

"Oh yes, alr," he replied promptly. "Sandhurst is heaven, sir."

I have often noticed what very, oda Ideas of heaven some people possess, But Sandhurst has certain definite out advantages which must shine almost like the fires of home in a hard life.

Then the dining-hall is good, and the food at least smells good, and is served by neat and pretty members of the ATS.

If I were a cadet, the magnificent library would attract me (but I won«- der how much time cadeia have for it), and I should also welcome ser- vice in the beautiful · Byzantine chapel, on whose walls and pillare every regiment in the British Army has a memorial to fleers (former Bandhurat cadets) who fell in the last war.

There are more than 4,000 names Inscribed on panels, cach one sur- mounted by a regimental crest.

Two Stories

The Chaplain told me that Sand- hurst was visited by a German mill tary mission not long before the war. One of its members, noting that the names of the fallen do not com- -pletely fil all the panels, remarked, with typical Teutonic humour: "I see you have left plenty of room for more.”

But another story I heard at Sand- hurst was far removed from such grim matters. It concerns a young cadat who was anxious to do the 'right thing, kont
