CADET INSPECTION AT READING.
BRIGADIER-GENERAL GRATIFIED BY SMART TURN-OUT.
The Forebury Road, Reading, presented a very animated scene on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 17th, 1918, when the First Cadet Battalion, Reading, Royal Berks Regt., was inspected by Brig.-General W. A. Collings, late Royal Berks Regt. The boys presented an exceedingly smart appearance, and certainly did the utmost credit to their officers, a fine alert body of men, who evidently had shown the utmost interest in their charges. Among those present in addition to the Brigadier-General were Major M. L. Porter, O.B.E. (secretary of the Berkshire Territorial Force Association), Mr. Leonard G. Sutton, Mr. F. A. Serjeant (Deputy Mayor), and the following officers in charge: Captain Cotton, O.C., Captain Blandy, Lieut. Norman (Royal Berks Regt.), Cadet Captains Colgate, Spring, Hibberd, E. Langston and Hawkes, and Lieuts Broad, Street and Dunkley. The following companies were represented:- Messrs. Suttons, Messrs. Huntley and Palmers, Messrs. Herbert and Elliotts, the Pulsometer, Messrs. Allen and Simmonds, the Great Western and the Town.
After a close inspection by the Brig.-General the cadets formed up in marching order, and, headed by the Depot Royal Berks Regt Band, marched to ST. Giles' Church, which was filled to overflowing. The Vicar (Rev. F. J. C. Gillmor) was the preacher.
The Lesson was read by Major Cotton, at at the close the whole congregation stood and sang the National Anthem.
