The Central Association of Volunteer Training Corps has received a
letter of thanks from the Ordnance Officer at Didcot for the excellent work done there by Volunteers affiliated to the Association. The Volunteers were chiefly from Oxford. The Ordnance Officer says that the extremely urgent work of handling Ordnance supplies has been speeded up beyond all knowledge by the Volunteers' help, end one result is a great expansion in the district of the Volunteer Training Corps. Of course. Directly the Volunteers are used for essential work applications for enrolment and training pour in. They are the beat of labourers because they are under military control, and do not helplessly waste time like a mob. If the War Office would use the Volunteers more freely at home for such services as are being rendered at Dideot, they would have a growing army of men over military age of inestimable use and enthusiasm.
