TRAINING OF THE “RED CAPS.’’—Since war began rapid strides have been made in the expansion of the Corps of Military Police at Aidershot. Large numbers of young recruits are being trained especially in traffic control. Many of them have been enlisted direct from civilian life—a departure from the normal practice. When at the front they are put into charge of prisoners of war, bring them down the line to report, and thus relieve active soldiers to get on with the battle. BRITISH SOLDIERS AS SCHOOL TEACHERS.—In some of the villages in the B.E.F. area the teachers are mobilised in the French Army. British soldiers with some experience with children have been lending a hand in teaching in the schools. In this picture we seen an English lesson in progress.
