participation to Under-Officers and NCO’s who had been busily occupied in
training Platoons and Sections in the earlier part of Camp.
The attack on the PUMPHOUSE with Medium Machine Gun support
(simulated Bren fire) was an exercise designed to consolidate all lessons

Objective.
The topographical survey and the situation reports were ably handled
by CUO HASTINGS and this, followed by CUO GARTSIDE’S Platoon
