NINE WEEKS' PROGRESS
TERRITORIAL ARMY RECRUITING
WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, June 2.
Recruiting figures for the Territorial Army still show weekly gains, though as the units fill up and the brigades go off to camp the rate of recruiting must necessarily slow down.
Since April 1 a total of 152,920 officers and men have joined the field forces alone, bringing the total present estimated strength of that portion of the Territorial Army to 87 per cent, of its complete new establishment.
Over a large part of the country and in most of its arms the Territorial Army has almost completed its task of coming to war establishment and then doubling its numbers —a wonderful achievement in nine weeks.
