VETERAN RESERVE.

[To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR."1 SIR,—I notice in your issue of the 22nd instant a reference to the Scottish Veteran Reservists who were inspected by His Majesty the King. I enclose the Parade State for your information, and have to inform you that every man on parade was registered as a Veteran Reservist. Edinburgh alone has over 4,250 officers and men registered. The Scottish regi- ments all have Regimental Associations with branches in Edinburgh, and these Associations have played a very import- ant part in the formation of the Veteran Reserve here.—

[We are delighted to hear that all the Scottish Veterans are registered by their respective County Associations, for we feel sure that it is only through the Associations that the Veteran movement can be properly worked.—En. Spectator.]
