In reply, he received the following letter from Captain Bell, Brigade Major, Staff Officer to Lieut.-Col. Fulton, officer commanding : — "I am directed by the O.C. to thank you for your g.ift of ten periscope sights.

I hope to be able to report regarding the usefulness on active service of your invention."
