THE BRITISH GERMAN LEGION.

On Wednesday the Duke o f Cambridge paid an unex-
pected visit to the German L egion at Shorncliffe Camp.
His Royal Highness, whose object was to make himself
acquainted with the state of discipline of the corps and
their system of drill, dresse d in plain clothes, and at-
tended only by Colonel Kin loch, arrived by the morning
train from London, and too k them by surprise and un-
prepared.
After inspecting the cavalry horses and the stables—
the latter of which are still 1 a very unfinished state—
the let, 2d, and 3d Regimes is of Light Infantry were
paraded, and, after being ins pected separately, the three
regiments (each nearly 1,(100 strong) went through
several manoeuvres of a bi igade field-day, under the
command of Brigadier. Gene ral Baron von Stutterheim,
to the great satisfaction of t'he gallant duke.
The church, the hospitals, the huts, every part of the
camp were visited in turn, after which his Royal High-
ness proceeded on foot to Sandgate, where be honoured
the Baron and Baroness • von Stutterheint with his pre-
sence at luncheon, the cm nmanding officers of regiments
and the heads of departments being invited to meet him.
His Royal Highness retutned to town by an afternoon
train, leaving the whole of the officers and soldiers de-
lighted with his noble, soldier-like yet unostentatious
bearing, and still more increasing ;heir anxiouse-ciire
to be under the command ol a General who showed
soldier.

'himble detention arose on the part of the railway, Da that
it was nearly dark before the second division arrived, and
quite so before many of them were on board, not a man
was either drunk or absent. At the moment that the head-
quarter division of the Jagers were entering the dockyard
to embark they were met by the large detachment of in-
valids proceeding to head-quarters who had just been
landed from the steamer Alma ; the loud cheers of greeting
of the Ist
with which the gallant fellows were hailed by the young
aspirants for those honours which the former had gained
bore a touching and spontaneous homer to their good
service and gallantry, and were strongly indicative of the
soldier-like spirit in which they embarked.
