To the Editor of the "Norta-Cutna Dairy News."
Sir,—Please kindly allow me to correct two rather serious errors in your report of the S. R. A. annual meeting.
In the discussion on the suggested new small bore branch, Mr. Rose is credited with the statement that "the Council already provided a range and ammunition." With regard to the latter part, I must make inquiries. I joined the S. R. A. in 1914, and have been mug enough ever since to pay for all the ammunition I have used in the Association.
Re Another speaker said the miniature range at Headquarters was useless," Mr. Rose in opposing the idea of the small bore branch, said if such a thing was necessary, doubtless the Commandant would grant the S. R. A. the use of the Feprvary 11, 1922.
Headquarters bange. The "other speaker," who happened to be myself, decidedly did not state this. 'I spoke of my experiences of the usefulness of small bore work at home, and said what was wanted was an open air range of at least 100 yards. Here, wind ete. would have to be fought, and far more useful practice result than on a sheltered range such as the one at Headquarters.
This range which is being fitted with the latest in Solano apparatus, will be ideal for musketry training short range work, and as fine a range as could be found anywhere. I have watched its progress with interest, and speaking as a musketry instructor it is decidedly far from useless.
I am etc., H. W. Lambert. Shanghai, Feb. 8.
