this regard.
(vil) Training Generally
The over-all picture was, to my mind, the best to date. Training
stores were not the problem that they were in the past, and this.
I feel, was due to excellent organisation, allotment and control
by the Battalion Training Officer.
Our cadets were never at a loss for something to do. Training
was well organised by the Unit Training Officer, Lt. Doube, and
his own enthusiasm was noticeably infectious, among first years

discipline and unit spirit. This platoon should prove excellent
material for promotion in 1960. The Platoon Commander and his
NCO’s are to be congratulated.

cadets readily adjust themselves to the requirements of Standing Orders. On
no occasion was a breach sufficiently serious to warrant an Orderly Room
parade. This is certainly a tribute to the fine spirit of co-operation among
all ranks and reflects the high tone of the Unit.
Hospitalisation - -

pital. one to YERONGA CAMP HOSPITAL for two days and two to GREEN
BANK CAMP HOSPITAL for one day only. Where necessary, parents were
notified according to Standing Orders. The Unit marched out with full
strength.
Visitors - -
Visitors Day again proved very popular and it was most heartening to
see the large number of parents and friends in the Unit Area. Such numbers
