BRITAIN'S NEW MILITIAMEN
Summing up the results of his interviews of the new British Militiamen examined in a West London suburb, the interviewing officer, Major B. T. Reynolds, says the attitude of the Militiamen was willing and matter-of-fact. They approached their military service in an attitude of, "Here's a job to be done. Let's get on with it." This attitude was common to all classes, and I noticed that men of all classes were chatting amicably together while waiting at the door. They were obviously better educated, brighter and more intelligent than the average run of men one met in 1914-1918. The majority of them, even those who had left at 14, had attended evening classes of some kind of cultural activity since leaving school. A high proportion of them had alert, inquiring minds. All in all, a very good lot.
