WESTERN COMMAND
IMPROVED CONDITIONS . „ . » (Rec. 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 3. No pay or sick parades, no “lights out” but consulting hours by medical officers, comfortable beds, sheets, curtains, armchairs and coupons for civilian clothes—these are some of the reforms now put into operation among 70,000 troops of the Western Command. They were initiated by Field-Mar-shal Lord Montgomery, and were announced by Lieutenant-General Brian Horroclcs. He also said that in future, a general need give only two hourfs warning of his intention to visit a camp and added: “It will he a good thing, for it will cut out all that scrubbing which usually goes on before a general’s visit. It really was frightful eyewash.”
