7th BATT. ROYAL BERKS REGIMENT. - The Christmas dinner of the 7th and 8th Battalions Royal Berks Regiment, in training at Reading, was quite a festive affair. The Corn Exchange and Vincent's Garage were lent as dining halls, and no fewer than 1,600 men assembled. The tables were laden with all sorts of good fare, including the inevitable plum pudding. This dish was provided by the kindness of the public, as were dessert, tobacco and beverages. Though exiled from the domestic fireside, the men were as happy as sand boys, and enlivened the proceedings by snatches of song. The Mayor attended on behalf of the town, and wished the young fellows the compliments of the season.
8th BATT. ROYAL BERKS REGIMENT. - The men of this battalion dined in Vincent’s Garage, which was brightened by the display of flags, and the two family parties exchanged greetings through their Commanding Officers. May we hope that by next Christmas the Royal Berkshires will have helped to end the war and will participate in happy family re-unions.
THE READING CIVILIAN DEFENCE FORCE. - We have given several pictures of this volunteer corps, but here is the first photograph of the men massed. It is worth preserving as a record of men of all ages and callings who prepared to help defend their country, if need be, in the world-war that has known no parallel.
