THERE has been no change in the position of the Battalion Headquarters since our last notes. The attractions of Haddington and district continue to prove equal to all demands made from them by both officers and men. Some of us have spent peaceful evening hours endeavouring to entice the highly educated trout of the River Tyne to take our artificial flies, with varying succeSs. One patient angler was heard to remark one evening when there wasn't much doing that he didn't believe the trout would take a gold watch if it were offered them. Concerts have been started for the entertainment of the Battalion, and these, thanks toj the enthusiastic co-operation of the residents of the town, should help considerably towards the comfort and enjoyment of the troops during the winter evenings. A detachment of 5 officers and 120 other ranks, including the machine-.gun section, under the command of Lieut. Aston, have been under canvas at Gullane since August, subsequent to the return of the Prestongrange Detachment. Defence works and entanglements were ably constructed on the sand dunes
