VOLUNTEERS SERVING ABROAD.
[To THE EDITOR OY THZ " SPECTATOR:1
SIR, —I should be glad if you could find space in your columns to inform me whether the war authorities have ever considered the question of permitting members of the Volunteer Force to serve abroad. I should think it would add greatly to the popularity and efficiency of that service if Volunteers were permitted, for periods of, say, six months or longer, to become connected with a regiment of Regulars on foreign service, such as garrison-duty in India and the Colonies, Colonial Volunteers having the privilege of doing like duty in Great Britain. Those who understand how ardently the average youth desires to see something of other countries will appreciate how some such regulation would enlist his sympathy.—I am, Sir, 8cc., AN OLD VOLUNTEER.
