Headquarters,

Northern Command,

York.

2^nd May, 1916.

My dear General,

I hate bothering you in the midst of all your cares and worries, but may I ask one more favour?  Could you get the Officer who runs the Rapid Wiring Training and Competitions at the 3^rd Army School to send us full details of what his training consists of, how he does it, and what he expects of his Officers and N.C.O’s at the conclusion of a Course?  We will then get a move on up here, but may I plead for full details.  I cannot tell you how grateful I should be to get this information.

The C. in C. has just become a temporary Lieut. Colonel General.

A step in the right direction, as they say.

Best of Luck

Yours, ever

G.J. Scovell
