India Officers. —These officers, and their appointments, are : — Captain A. le G. Campbell, Highland Light Infantry, whose previous period was extended to August next, is doing duty as Adjutant, Ist Battalion, Wellington Regiment, Wellington. Captain G. H. Dykes, Lancashire Fusiliers, is doing duty as Area Officer, Area Ba, and Adjutant, Ist Battalion, Taranaki Regiment, at New Plymouth. Captain E. L.

Clachan completed their period of attachment in India and returned to New Zealand in October, 1928. With the return of these officers all our young officers will have had experience and service overseas either during the war or by attachments subsequently, and it is not therefore intended to send any officers to India on exchange next year. Cadets. No New Zealand Cadets attended the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, during the year. In August, 1928, Cadets J. R. Page and H. G. Wooller graduated at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and were commissioned 2nd Lieutenants, N.Z.S.C., and were attached to British Infantry Regiments for further training. Cadets F. L. Davis and R. C. Queree joined the Royal Military College in January, 1928, and the reports to hand indicate that they are making satisfactory progress. Cadet B. Wicksteed went to England to join the College in the September term. 2. AIR SERVICES. (a) N.Z. Permanent Air Force. The strength of the N.Z. Permanent Air Force is six officers and seventeen other ranks, an increase of one officer and one other rank over that of last year. In addition, arrangements have been made for the enrolment of an additional officer —Flight-Lieutenant S. Wallingford—who has just completed the terms of service with the Royal Air Force on a short-service commission, and is shortly sailing for New Zealand. One officer —Captain J. L. Findlay, M.C.-—has proceeded to England to undergo a series of courses and attachments to units of the Royal Air Force covering a period of twelve months. Normal air co-operation has been carried out with units of the Territorial land forces of the Southern Command, but owing to increased activity in flying training duties undertaken by the staff at Wigram Aerodrome it has not been found possible to fulfil all the requests for co-operation which have been made by units. Training courses were conducted by the permanent staff at Wigram Aerodrome for the training of Cadet pilots for service in the N.Z. Air Force (Territorial), annual refresher courses of N.Z. Air Force officers, and the special course for Instructors of Aero Clubs. These courses involved a total flying-time of over eight hundred hours, and testify to the efficiency of the instructional and maintenance staff. (6) N.Z. Air Force (Territorial). The strength of this unit now stands at ninety-nine officers and eighteen other ranks. During the period under review nine Cadet pilots completed their ab initio training, and have been granted commissions as 2nd Lieutenants (on probation).
