The Squadron went into camp about 100 strong on the Thursday evening, in command of Captain H. MeMichael, with Lieut. H. G. Robinson second-in-command. Other officers on parade were: Lieut. H. Martin, p.s.o., Lieut. A. H. P. Koe, Lieut. H. W. Spence, Lieut. O. S. Benbow Rowe, ™.c., and Lieut. B. L. Lewis. For the convenience of men who had occasion to visit their town offices on business, a motor lorry service was! arranged, and was made good use of. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that the whole transport service was excellent. One detail may be noted which brought the business quite in line with regular Army conditions. In order that there might be an adequate supply of Shanghai water, a certain eminent local authority undertook to supply water tanks and mules. On Thursday, water tanks and mules duly appeared at the camp, but the tanks were empty! This minor deficiency was remedied in due course.
The camp programme has_ been started each morning with physical drill and other exercises before breakfast, and work for the day has consisted of squadron and sabre drill, Lewis and machine gun drill, and musketry, some exercises being fired at the Rifle Range on Saturday afternoon. At dinner last Friday night, a cordial "send off" was given ta Squadron Sgt.-Major Andirew, who left on home leave on Saturday by the str. Hoosier State.
