HOME GUARD’S WEEKEND
Many members of the Home Guard in Christchurch spent a busy weekend. Officers and non-commissioned officers and a few men from the Phillipstown Battalion went out to Harewood for a night’s bivouac, and spent yesterday in field exercises. More than 400 members of the Christchurch North Battalion went north of Christchurch and spent the day in such work as practice bayonet fighting, hand grenade throwing, musketry and rifle training, and the special ambulance and signal sections rehearsed their own work for a full day.
