HIGHLAND LIGHT INFANTRY CHRONICLE. 123 3rd Battalion Notes. THE Battalion has been under canvas at Malleny Camp, Currie, Midlothian, .for over two months, having arrived there on June 4th. Three trains brought llil up, and the journey was accomplished with comfort and expedition-the first train arriving well up to its scheduled time. <strong>The</strong> Camp is situated at the foot of the Pentlands, and just below the Black Hill; and on fine days there is a lovely view over to Fife, the Forth Bridge standing out .prominently. For the first ten days the weather was all that could be desired, and everyone agreed that it was ~ welcome change from the stuffiness of Gosport. That opinion, however, 'has been somewhat modified, as since the above-named period it has not only rained but deluged almost every day, and storms, with thunder and lightning, have been very frequent. St. Swithin's was a very wet day, and the old tradition attaching to it has been worthily upheld. <strong>The</strong> officers' lines have been bad enough, but the men's have literally been a sea of mud. But, all things considered, sickness has not been so prevalent as might have been expected. Given ordinarily good weather it is a capital training camp. <strong>The</strong> range is close by, and we share it with the 3rd Argylls (Norton Hall Camp) and the 3rd <strong>Royal</strong> Scots (Glencorse). <strong>The</strong> country is good for man~uvring, trench-digging, and night operations, and we get a good dose of all three. Regarded from its social aspect, Edinburgh, although only 7 or 8 miles distant, is not particularly easy of access. <strong>The</strong> train service is poor, and the only means of locomotion from Currie Station is one's own legs, which have to carry one up a hill of exceeding stiffness, and the exorbitant prices asked by Edinburgh taxi-drivers make that mode of conveyance a somewhat expensive luxury. After our arrival here there was a lull in the sending out of drafts, but during the last 8 or 9 weeks we have been regularly sending out drafts of 50 or 60-up till the beginning of August, when Captain Telfer-Smollett and Lieut. Campbell-Irons went-and on August 16th. Captain E. M. Grant and 2nd Lieuts. Bendall and Broadhurst were sent for. No other officers have gone. Sports have been held every alternate Wednesday, and without a single exception they have been spoilt by the weather. Captain J ackson has gone as an assistant instructor of young officers to Belfast, where for about a couple of months Captain Telfer Smollett held sway. Lieut. .J. W. Findlay has gone as Adjutant to superintend the Bantams in the 14th Battalion, and is murmuring his orders to the accompaniment of the sad sea waves at Troon. <strong>The</strong> drafts which have been sent out from here have, on the whole, been good. Six machine gunners went with the last~the first that have been asked for since we left Gosport. <strong>The</strong> Regiment felt very deeply the death of Captain Alston. He had been Adjutant for some time, and was very popular with both officers and men. He went out to France shortly before we left Gosport, and most flattering accounts reached us from time to time from the front of the useful work he was doing there. A memorial service was held in St. John's Church, Edinburgh, which was largely attended, the Regiment being well represented. When we leave this Camp we are going into billets in Leith. AN event interesting to both the 1st and 2nd Battalions took place at Balerno, Midlothian, on the 11th August, <strong>1915</strong>, when No. 7224 R.Q.M.S. E. A. Newbery was united in marriage with Miss Mary Margaret M'Coll, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. :If'Coll of Millport, Bute. Our sincere wishes are extended to the happy pair. 3RD BATTALION HIGHLAND LIGHT INFANTRY. OFFICERS AND OTHER RANKS WHO HAVE LEFT THE BATTALION SINCE MAY 31ST TO ,TOIN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE, ETC.
