promotion to Platoon Sergeantvice Sergt. Macarthur.
Congratulations likewise to the other members of
B Company on being appointed to Commissions in
the Battalion, namely Private P. H. Graham (posted
to No. 6 Platoon), and Privates H. C. Colvil and
H. G. Hendry. Since our last report other eight
members of B Company have departed to take up
Commissions, viz.: Lance-Corporals J. H. Haddow
and W. B. Robertson, Privates R. M. Pattison,
J. Laing, J. W. Binnie, K. S. ~Iiller, J. T. Hayes
and J. W. Anderson. We wish them the best of
luck.
To tUrll tu Athletics, we can unly commiserate
with No. 6 Platoon upon their first defeat in the
Platoon League, inflicted by No. I Platoon, which
likewise had won all previous matches. The
result was a surprise, considering that No. 6 Platoon
Xl., representing B Company, had just given
further demonstration of their calibre by playing a
drawn game with the formidable D Company XI.
As regards Tennis and Golf, we have been very
successful in our Inter-Company matches, and are
showing a marked improvement at Hockey. \Ve
do not yet despair of getting together a good
Tug-of-war team, and Private Murray is doing his
best to this end. B Company are not at all satisfied
with the result of the last pull against C Company,
and are firmly resolved to reverse the result at the
first opportunity.
\Ve hope to be well represented in the Battalion
teams, presently being selected for the proposed
Brigade Sports. Up to time of going to press
Battalion trials for three events have taken place,
viz.: the One Mile, the 100 Yards, and the Broad
Jump. In the One Mile trial we made an excellent
appearance as the following results will show :-I:
