DECLARED A SUCCESS
PHYSICAL TRAINING OF * RECRUITS
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, September 6.
Soldiers who have passed from the two recruits' physical development depots to their regimental depots now number 1001. This passing of the thousand mark in about 16 months j crowns the success of an enterprising War Office experiment. " ! The object of the Aldershot and Scarborough depots is to take as probationer recruits men who are not up to the standard of weight or chest and men on the borderline with defects which might or might not be sufficiently bad to keep them out of the Army, but which possibly could be treated and cured in a short while.
