CHANGES IN THE ARMY
MILITARY SCIENCE NEW TECHNICAL PROBLEMS By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyright LONDON, Sunday.. A memorandum issued by the War Office says recent developments in military science, particularly in connection with the continuous extension of mechanical transport, have necessitated a modification of an organisation which had substantially been unchanged since 1904. It had been decided to concentrate under a single member of the Army Council the study of technical problems relating to military stores and vehicles to ensure the more scientific grouping of other duties. Consequently, the Master-General of the Ordnance, Lieutenant-General Sir W. Gillman, would be responsible for research, experiments and design of track, semi-track, and other vehicles, also for the majority of the stores except Army Service Corps vehicles. The Quartermaster-General to the Forces, Lieutenant-General Sir Walter Campbell, would take over fortifications, works and accommodation for troops. The changes also involved the creation of a fourth principal officer, namely, a deputy Master of Ordnance, who would be attached to general headquarters in war time. —Sun.
