STORY OF INFANTRY Students of this war know that the infantry on both sides, and the cavalry as well, used regi- ments as the basis of their organ- ization. They know, too, that both sides fought their armies by brigades, by divisions, .and by army corps. But what about the artillery? How were théy organ: ized; what system was used in assigning batteries? Did they fight as individual units; were they attached to commands as the needs dictated; did théy have the Australian legend. It argues Australia better.

They also say manned aircraft are the only weapons that can hedge-hop into enemy territory without being spotted by radar. British defence planners took a long look at the future of manned aircraft before deciding that the new TSR - 2 fighter. bomber should be brought into production about 1965 at a cost of £200,000,000. They made the deciston about four months ago GOING STRONG It will be about 1967 before the RAF is equipped with a full com- pliment of TSR-2s. Since defence *spokesmen say the aircraft will be in service 'for a good many years" tivis means that Britain's manned fighter planes should be going strong until 1975, even if no additional models are de- signed The TSR-2 will be essentially low-level aircraft which Defence Minister Duncan Sandvs has de- srribed as 'highly suitable for limited war operations It will. be capable of high-al titude all - weather performance and will carry air-to-air missiles.
