d. c. Officers Supervise Depot Where Fighting
Equipment Is Kept in First Class Condition

! possible to balance accounts with
buildings. equipment, camps. civilian
labor and such food as they can
supply. Soldiers just arrived from
the United States work side by side
with British civilians. The soldiers
work eight and one-half hours a day
whereas the civilians work 10 hours
with appropriate overtime pay.
Col Richmond and his staff make
certain that the Army's fighting and
transportation equipment is kept in
firSt-ciaSs condition and abreast
with adaptations necessary with war
progress. Already officers and men
have to their credit some notable in
ventions which are military secrets.
The only exception is potato wash

sergeants who get English potatoes

covered from the sea after convoy
ships were sunk. The batteries were

An essential part of the job here
is to repair fine Instruments
watches, chronometers, binoculars
and the various range finders, de-
tails of which are military secrets.
Most men competent to do this work
were already in essential industries
or in the British services, so it was
necessary to develop first-class me-
chanics out of green soldiers. Ordi-
narily, skill in these trades requires
almost a lifetime to acquire. Here
competence is achieved in about six

and vice versa. In this way each
not only learns but does highly COM
petent work while learning.
The fine work challenges the nat
ural mechanical bents of the men
and in few Army establishments has
a finer morale been accomplished
than at this particular depot. Some
have achieved such skill they can
make their own watches out of spare
parts.
The commander of the depot is a
way. He was once sergeant in a
cavalry troop in the Philippines in
which Maj. Gen. Alexander Surles,
now chief of Army public relations,
was a second lieutenant.
