3/4th BATT. ROYAL BERKSHIRE REGIMENT.
After being stationed with other third-line units of the Berkshire Territorial Force in Aldermaston Camp
since May, 1915, the 3/4th Batt. Royal Berkshire Regiment marched to Reading on October 28th
and was billeted in the county town till January 15th of the next year. On the eve of departure from
Aldermaston the whole camp had a smoking concert at the invitation of Mr. C.
E. Keyser, who expressed appreciation of the Territorials' conduct and who
was thanked for his kindness by Colonel W . A. Ellison, M .V .O ., V. D. commanding the 3/4 th Berkshires.
There had been no members of the old Volunteer battalion in the town for a year, so the recruits were all the more welcome.
On Christmas Day those whose homes were not near, over 300, had dinner in
the Corn Exchange partly at the expense of residents, and the festive scene recalled a like gathering
in honour of the 8th Berkshires in the same hall a year ago.
