SINCE the notice of this corps given in our last week’s issue there has been much instruction given and a great deal of hard work got through. On Thursday the corps was formed into two companies. No. 1, under Surgeon-Major

Norton, joined the northern force; No. 2, under Surgeon Platt, joined the southern force. Each company took part in the great field day and in the march past. The work during the day was of a most trying character, but the men got through it creditably, and the march past was executed with precision. On Friday morning, at 6.30, loading and waggons was practised. At 9 A.M. the Regular and Volunteer Medical Staff Corps paraded and marched to the foot of the Redan Hill, where they pitched a field hospital, and where pharmacy and surgical waggons were exhibited and displayed. Considering the fact that the field hospital had never been pitched in England before 1882, it was a great thing that this newly formed corps should have had an opportunity of becoming familiar with the work, and to actually pitch one at so early a period in its career. On Saturday morning, at 6 A.M., the corps marched to the railway station, where practice in loading and unloading railway waggons according to Zudolski’s method was gone into. Before the corps left Surgeon-General Hendley, C.B., addressed a few congratulatory words to the corps, and Surgeon-Commandant Cantlie, in the name of the officers, presented Corporal Watts of the London Hospital with a beautifully executed silver medal, as a reward for having the best-kept tent during the week. In addition to the officers mentioned as being at Aldershot for instructions, there were Surgeon Casson, in command of his company, Surgeons Willett, Sutton, and Moberley, and Quartermaster Robertson, all of whom took part in the arduous duties of the week.
