Coastal Defences
GENERAL INSPECTION.
By
C. 8., D S.O.
Complete satisfaction with the work and bearing of the men on coastal defence work was expressed by the Chief of the General Staff ((Major-General J. E. Duigan, C. 8., D. 5.0.) after making a comprehensive inspection of all defence units last week. Major-Gen-
eral Duigan visited both batteries and guard posts and said that he found the men keen and well trained. The ranks of the men serving at Fort Dorset have been thinned as each
echelon goes into camp, one hundred and fifty of the men who have served there having gone into training for service overseas. However, the men who have replaced them have shown equal keenness and the work at the fort has been kept at a high standard.
. This week the latest batch for service overseas were farewelled by friends. The Fort Dorset Association was well represented and the concert programme presented was reinforced by representatives of the local R.S.A. auxiliary committee.
