Orders, set the first movement of the action. The attack was well-timed
and went in according to plan with Section commanders in control of their
-
Sections, to the completion of the mission.
As in previous years the “enemy” attired to represent inhabitants
from anywhere in Asia, died gracefully, by, and in numbers, to the accom
paniment of blanks, thunderflashes and Aldershot grenades.
11.—GENERAL
In my opinion the Camp was again, completely worthwhile. Generally
speaking, problems were solved at the lower levels which is a certain indi
cation that leaders, particularly NCO’s, were quick to observe faults and
capable of adjusting them. It is an indication that the Cadets too, were
ready to accept guidance. This then, to my mind, is in complete conformity
with the Cadet "idea” of correct initiative, skillful leadership and individual
effort for the good of the team.

WYNNUM CADETS HONOURED
As a result of their participation in the Beating the Retreat
ceremony at Victoria Barracks on Friday, 2nd September, 1960,
Wynnum Cadets were accorded a rare and much-prized honour in a
subsequent letter sent by Major-General T. J. Daly. (’BE, DSO, to
our Principal, Mr. F. B. Perry. We feel that the letter speaks for
itself:—

AUSTRALIAN MILITARY FORCES — NORTHERN COMMAND
Victoria Barracks.
Brisbane.
Dear Mr. Perry, 6th September, 1960
I would like you to know how impressed I was by
the detachment of your Cadet Unit which attended the Beating of
Retreat ceremony on Friday last. The turnout, bearing and marching
of its members was of a standard I have seldom semi among School
Cadets and reflected the greatest credit on their school and their
officers.
I would be grateful if you would pass on my congratulations Io
Captain Griffith and all members of your Unit.
Yours sincere!v,
(Signed) T. J. Daly.
