Messrs. Gale and Polden issue two handbooks which should be

most useful to junior officers, and the numerous civilians who are now engaged in the training of volunteer corps. Squad Section, Platoon, and Company Drill Made Easy (1s. 6d. net) is intended for the beginner; it clearly explains orders and move. ments as given in the latest official manual. The second edition of The Training of an Infantry Company, by Major E. Kirkpatrick (2s. 6d. net), is an admirable companion for the young officer, who will find its sensible advice of great use in making his men rapidly efficient for actual field service.
