stances, it was otherwise with Great
rBtiain In the British service only
the Indian army possessed pioneer
regiments, these troops being al
ways necessary in constructing GAM
paigns in the hill country. When the
neew for this class of troops became
evident steps were taken to form
eer battalons for the EXpediticnary
Force From the first they proved
their value.
Pioneers are prepared to fight or
work as may be required. They per

Their duties are manifold, and there

time or another find himself "alled
upCn to undertake. His activities
range from carrying ep ammunition
to retrieving the wounded or holding
a fiercely disputed trench or sap.
In the great advances or the
Somme and in Artois the pioneers
performed work of the greatest i'm
portance. The duty of consolidating
the captured ground and connecting
it up with the old front line of the
attackers, largely fell to them In
many places they took part in the
advance as infantry, in others they
Kept the advancing lines supplied
with ammunition and water, and

have been heavy, but they have ac-
camplished their tasks in the face of
every obstacle.
As rule, the pioneers remain in
the vicinity of the trenches ali the
time their divson is in the line, and
do not go back for rest, except al
long intervals.
The pioneer is as yet a new type
in the British army, but he has long
since passed the trial stage, and has
proved his worth and steadfastness

London. Aug 2-(Correspond-
ence) THE British army has Under
gene changes of far-reaching char
acter since the outbreak of war in
1914, and it now possesses many

Every resource afforded by the mani

There are certain respects in
which the problem by which the
British army is faced is unique; and
one of the most striking of these is
that it must be capable of campaign
ing in any part of the world ard in
any climate. In the case of armies
like that of Germany on the other
hand, the problem of preparation for
war was relatively simple. The
ground on which the army was des-
tined to fight was known; it was an
army designed to do battle in a par.
