| 11 | An officers' wireless scheme was organised for the morning. The exercise was carried out with surprisingly good results. At the time of the signal 'exercise ends, return to camp', all sets were through at full strength. After dark, the subalterns suffered a night compass march over an obstacle course of four miles, set by Capt Tooth of 17/43 Bty. It must be recorded that the idle subalterns of RHQ won 'hands down'. |
