(e) Weapon Training: The standard is generally good.
All efficers and men armed with the pistol fired the Course
as laid down. There were two failures. Both these men passed
after further practice.
We are suffering at present from the lack of a properly-
qualified Armourer, our own having deserted in India.
Requests are being made for a replacement from India.
It is believed that the Baluch Regt. who have helped us in the
past may possibly be able to provide a suitable man.
Grounds Training has been carried out but practice with
"live 11 bombs was not possible as our indents for 1944- had not
been filled. This has now been rectified and Bombs and Detona
tors have been received.

6. Clothing and equipment .
We are complete in every respect and have stocks on hand
sufficient for at least 18 months to 2 years. Supplies this
year have been easier to obtain but most ox the clothing being
sent is "Part Worn". It is pesumed that this is due to Battle-
dress having replaced the Bush Shirt.
