The last thing that was thought of before getting between the blank- | ets at Barriefield Camp on Monday night was whether the guy-'ropes | Were tight enough. They usually | Were as each man in the tent, rather |than take a chance on the canvas {blowing down, made a personal in- | spection. It is a case with tents to tighten them in windy weather and loosen them in wet weather. It rain- {ed hard on Monday morning and to | prevent the shrinking ropes" from {pulling the pegs, all the ropes were | let out a little. This is not quite so { important ds keeping them. tight dur- |Ing wind however, as it is inconven- | ient, to say the least, to wake up in | the night finding the tent that should | be over you, over in the lines of the next company. There were a few cases of this in the camp on Monday | night but there were enough experi- | enced campers in the lot to make | the number of blow-downs small. The rain on Monday morning wet | the parade grounds a little, but not | enough to interfere with the drilling | Programme. On Monday morning the 8th C.M. | R., had a short exercise ride down the Gananoque road and back. In | the afternoon kit-inspection was in | order. The 8th Battalion recruits were { Instructed in rifle exercises and also | eXtended order work on Monday. | Bayonet fighting was also engaged f in. The recruits are progressing | splendidly and the work of drilling | them is a good experience for the N. | C.0.'s and officers some of whom | might have forgotten some of the | details of the elementary work since | the' main body of the battalion was | broken in. The remainder of the | battalion was engaged in advance | guard work and also in mugketry on Monday. Almost each day part of the time- table*is taken up by the company of- ficers commanding, who deliver a lecture on the work for the following day. Every morning at 6 a.m., Major. G. H, Gillespie begins his duties in connection with the physical drilling of the soldiers in camp. There is a definite order. in force which says that every man in camp must have physical drill between 6 and 6.30 a. m., every day and it is the duty of Major Gillespie to see that this order is carried out. He makes an in- spection of the soldiers at the work and corrects any mistakes that the instructor might be making and at times takes the class himself. A number of applications are be- ing received for entrance into the Provisional School of Infantry which opens on July 26th for the instruc- tion of officers up to and including the rank of captain. A number made their applications to attend the last course at too late a day and these will be accepted -for the 'next course. The following order has been is- sued: "It is published for the in- formation of all concerned that N.C. O's.; and men visiting points outside of Kingston will be required to re- port on arrival to the senior officer in the locality in which they are vi- siting. The officer will initial pass." The signallers attending the class at the camp are progressing favor- ably and doing splendid work. It is planned to give even greater atten- tion to night signalling as this class of the work is very desirable at the front. Lieut. Rackham, 3rd Dragoons, has been appointed Camp Signalling Of- ficer, taking over the duties of Capt. W. 8S. Wood, 38th Battalion.
