Valedictory
Capt. Babbington Another of our old, well-trained, well-tried and popular officers leaves us I for an appointment overseas in the person of Capt. Babbington. The Skipper was commissioned in 1929 as a gunner in (the old 17th, now 6th Bty., has served continuously ever since and is one of the old faithfuls who helped to hold Territorial Batteries together during the disarmament, derision and depression period. His varied gunner and technical experience is a’ distinct loss to the unit but he is getting his wish in having a go at something more useful. We regret we can (t all get into it together, but we hope to close: up and bung them in the same direction later on, George. In the meantime, Good Luck, Good Shooting and not too much Hoki Tbki.
