"_Action Competition_," under Sub-section Sergeants; points given for-- I. _Control_--(A) Drill; (B) Led Horses; (C) Fire Orders, etc. II. _Time_--taken from command "Action" to when led horses move back. III. _Gun Handling, Concealment and Shooting_ (won by "D" Sub-section, under Sergt. Pearse). "_Belt Filling by Limber Drivers_" (won by "C" Sub-section). "_Stripping, Adjustment, Minor Repairs and Immediate Action_" (1st, Lance-Corpl. Salter; 2nd, Lance-Corpl. Galway). INSPECTION BY THE "C.-IN-C.". In consequence of the increased number of cavalry which had arrived in the country, the 7th Mounted Brigade now formed part of a Division, instead of being an independent Brigade, as heretofore. This Division, which was commanded by Major-Gen. H.J.M. MacAndrew, C.B., D.S.O., was at first styled the "2nd Mounted Division," but, later on, it was altered to the "_5th Cavalry Division_," comprising the 13th, 14th (the old 7th Mounted), and 15th (Imperial Service), Cavalry Brigades. |
