H.Q. for overseas delivery. As an exercise ih military -routine and proper procedure such i>ooks will travel from owner to H.Q. in routine manner and a competition is being arranged between battalions to see who can send the ir.ost Leaving out all the trimmings Home Guardsmen are being askec to contribute as many byoki; as tliej can.
