A patriotic concert held at Johnsonville last night, to provide Christmas cheer for the local men at the front, was a great success.

Hall) arranged the programme. The concert takings amounted to £21 7s 6d, to which sum Messrs J. Mackley, W. L. Thompson, Alex. Moore, Oliver Engell, J. Wilkes, Harry London, Rev. F.

The parade of the Island Bay-Berham-pore Section of the Reserve was held on the evening of the sth in the schoolroom, the weather being unfavourable for outdoor work. Short lectures were delivered by the platoon commanders on field signals, cover, and fire effect, and the various sections were then given practical musketry instruction by their noncoms. The interesting nature of the work done shows that the company has gone well beyond the elementary and more tedious stages of squad and platoon drill. The company loses another member in the person of Mr. C. Perry, who goes into camp with the Tunnelling Corps in a few days' time. His departure makes a total of fifteen members of the section of the Reserve who are now on the active service list, and it is pleasing to record that they, have found the preliminary training in the Reserve very useful.
