FOR COMMISSIONS

NEW ZEALANDERS POSTED

(From the Official War Correspondent attached to the N.Z.F. in Great

Britain.)

Practically all the 38 non-commis-sioned officers of the Second Echelon recently selected for training for commissions have now (September 27) been posted to Officer Cadet Training Units. The first draft of infantrymen not only was sent to Sandhurst, where the famous Royal Military College is now functioning as an 0.C.T.U., but also was posted in a block to the Brigade of Guards Company there. No higher honour could be paid a candidate for commissioned rank, and the opportunities given artillery and cavalry cadets are equally good.

The full list of New Zealand candidates, whether already posted for training or awaiting posting, with their arm of the service, is as follows: —
