A Splendid Record of Service In the Volunteers: Private to Lieut.-Colonel.
Two. paragraphs in this week's Municipal Gazette deserve special attention. They are as follows Volunteer Corps.—Upon the recom.
dation of the Commandant, Major 'T.
Trueman, 0.8,8., is promoted to be Lieutenant-Colonel from January 13, The resignation of Lieutenant-Colonel T. E. Trueman, 0.8.8., forwarded by the Commandant has been accepted by the Council with regret. Retired rank, with who right to wear the prescribed uniform, has been conferred on him in considera tien of his long and valued service in the Corps.'
The warmest congratulations will be forthcoming to Major Trueman on his promotion to the rank of Lieut.-Col., but all connected with the Volunteers or who have served with the Corps in the past will re-egret his retirement. On such an occasion as this it is fitting that mention should be made of Lieut.- Col, Trueman's service—a record which should prove an inspiration to present and future members.
