There are many improvements in communications in the field since I served in S.A. We have each day a portable Wireless station, in communication with Camp Head Quarters perhaps 20 miles off, which can be erected & worked in 5 minutes, also 2 Cable detachments of 28 miles each, capable of being laid before the horses can move. Reconnaissance by Aeroplane etc:- and at night Helios for 10-15 miles keep winking on the Hills, these latter are of course nothing new.
