The ususal route march (taking place twice a week) is from the Camp through Steeple Langford, Hanging Langford and Wylye.
Today we had an all-day route march and field operations between Wylye and Noyle - marching altogether about 15 miles, our Bagpiper Band marching all the way. Our Brass Band met us near Wylye coming home.
I started a Debating Society in the Camp last night. About 400 to 500 men, NCOs & Officers attended & a very interesting Debate took place,
