Lost - a Torpedo!

Admiral Heath, the Commander-in-Chief of the Coast of Scotland, has just advertised for the recovery, or information leading to the recovery, of a torpedo. It was lost a few days ago more than five miles from Inverkeith. The reward offered for the torpedo is £10. Surely this must be a novelty in the advertisement pages of newspapers.

Tittensor War Memorial - Unveiling by General Heath-CaldwellI

In memory of the nine men from Tittensor Parish who were killed during the war, a simple, but effective war memorial after the style of the cenotaph was unveiled in Tittensor Churchyard on Saturday evening by Major-General Heath-Caldwell C.B. The weather was very unfavourable for an outdoor ceremoney, but despite this, quite a large number of people were present.The memorial is restrained and dignified, being more simple than war memorials generally seen. - - - (continues) - - -

Capt. J. Shelley acted as Aide-de-Camp to General Heath-Caldwell and among those present at the ceremony were Col.J.Hall, Major and Mrs F. Wedgwood, Capt. A. Llewellyn, Mr P. Shelley - - - (continues) - - -

The unveiling was a very brief ceremony. After the hymn, "O God our help in ages past," Vicar (the Rev. G.C. W. Pimbury) read out the names of the fallen and General Heath-Caldwell immediately unveiled the memorial.

In a few well chosen words the General said they dedicated the memorial in memory of the nine men who went from that church and parish and laid down their lives in the sacred cause of freedom and justice. He hoped it would perpetuate their names and noble deeds, and inspire the living and those yet unborn to follow in their footsteps of loyalty and patriotism to their King and country and of willing and useful service to their fellow-men. - - - (continues) - - -

Japanese Crown Prince - A Visit to Rosyth - A View of a Great Warship

Yesterday His Imperial Highness Prince Hirohito, besides fulfilling three engagements in Edinburgh, journeyed to the great naval arsenal at Rosyth where he spent a considerable part of the day. The special train on which he travelled from Waverley Station halted when half-way across the Forth Bridge to permit the distinguished visitor to examine its structure at the closest quarters. Even in their very short stay the strangers from the Orient have experienced some of those climatic vicissitudes which caused Stevenson to described his native city as "a meteorological purgatory." - - - -
Reception at Rosyth

Along the route between Inverkeithing and Rosyth marine sentries were posted, and a guard of honour, consisting of marines from H.M.S. Hood, was drawn up on the platform at Rosyth. As the train arrived a salute was fired by the ships lying at Forth and H.M.S. Furious. 

Here the Prince was received by Admiral Sir Herbert L. Heath K.C.B., Commander-in-Chief Coast of Scotland, who presented Rear-Admiral Sir John F.E.Green, Admiral Superintendent, Rosyth, and Rear-Admiral Sir Walter H. Cowan, Bart., Commanding Battle Cruiser Squadron, and other officers.  - - - 
A Naval Leviathan

The Royal party then entered motor cars which were in waiting, and, accompanied by Admiral Heath and the principal naval officers, they proceeded through the town, which was gaily beflagged, to Admiralty House. Here the Crown Prince was entertained to luncheon by the Commander-in-Chief.

The Late Lord Provost - Tribute by Town Council.

Before proceeding with the business of Edinburgh Town Council today, Baillie Barrie, the Senior Magistrate, who occupied the chair, made reference to the death of Lord Provost Chesser. The city, he said, mourned for one of her most devoted men. No man in the Council Chamber was a more faithful, diligent, and earnest representative than the late Lord Provost, and it was only his high sense of public duty which kept him in his post these last few months more closely than his health warranted - - - the Town Clerk read a number of messages of sympathy, including those from his Majesty, the Lord Justice-Clerk, Admiral Sir Herbert Heath, Lieutenant-General Sir Francis Davies - - -

Banquet in Scottish Parliament Hall.
A unique gathering took place in Edinburgh on Saturday evening, when the Faculty of Advocates for the first time in history, entertained at dinner the Bench and Bar of England.  - - - 

The Dean of the Faculty occupied the chair. On his right were the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Justice-General (Lord Clyde), the Attorney-General, Sheriff Crole K.C., Admiral Sir Herbert L. Heath R.N., K.C.B., the Solicitor General (Mr.C.D.Murray K.C., C.M.G., M.P.)  - - - 

The Solicitor General and Military Administration.
The Solicitor-General in proposing the toast of "The Imperial Forces," referred not only to the services of the Imperial Forces, of which they were proud, but to the services of those, whether in the line or behind it, men and women too, who saw the great struggle through. In their time of difficulty Scotland had been fortunate indeed that the destinies of the forces of the Crown had been placed in the hands of wise counsellors and capable administrators (Applause.)

Admiral Heath, who replied, said it had been his honour and privilege to be closely associated with the Solicitor-General for the last three months, and he would like to take that opportunity of saying that their work, so far as they of the fighting services were concerned, was rendered easy by the strict sticking to business of the Solicitor-General representing the Cabinet at those meetings. (Applause.). If there was any one corresponding to the First Lord of the Admiralty present, he should very much like that he should recommend the Solicitor-General for promotion (Applause.)

Aberdeen B.B. Camp at Aboyne

Admiral's Commendation
In Craigendinnie Park, a secluded spot on the outskirts of Aboyne, and nestling in a picturesque setting of fir woods at the foot of the Fungle, some 650 members of the Aberdeen battalion of the Boys' Brigade have been enjoying life under canvas since Friday last.  - - - 

Visitors at Inspection.
Yesterday was one of the gala days of the week, when the battalion and camp were inspected by Admiral Sir Herbert L. Heath K.C.B., M.V.O., Commander-in-Chief Scottish Coast, who was accompanied by Commander Moore and Flag-Lieutenant Bowlby. The Admiral, who had motored from Rosyth the previous day, was received by Sheriff Laing, and Brigadier Bennett Mitchell, and introduced to the administrative officers, after which he inspected the tents, marquees, and permanent buildings.  - - - 
After the inspection Admiral Heath took the salute from the battalion as it marched past in various formations. During the inspection the fife and brass bands discoursed light music.

How to Please an Admiral

Admiral Heath, in the course of a racy address to the battalion, said he appreciated the honour which they had done the Navy in asking a representative of it to undertake the inspection. Navy and shore can learn much from each other. To an officer an inspection was a matter of duty, and not a matter of skylarking. He was critical as far as he could be, and was on the lookout for anything that needed correction. That was the object of the inspection. When an Admiral inspected a ship he went round and looked at all the men to see if they looked healthy, well fed, and well drilled.

When an Admiral found something wrong, he was pretty happy, and thought there was not a better man on the ship than he. He was unhappy if he found nothing, and felt he was bested. A good captain arranged for the Admiral to find a bit of spun yarn lying about. Then the Admiral fumed about the ship, but was really happy, and gave the ship a good report. 

After going around the boys' "ship" that afternoon - the tents, canteens, and cookhouses, and everything else - he ought really to be miserable and unhappy, as he found nothing wrong. The general condition of the camp looked to him to be one of great efficiency, and he congratulated them from the highest to the lowest. He knew that a great many members and ex-members of the brigade lent their services during the war, and a great many of them gave their lives. He also knew that the whole of the camp expenses were provided by the officers and the members of the battalion. That was a very fine feature.

Everybody who joined the Boys' Brigade did so voluntarily, and knew that he was to depend on nobody else's charity. The example those 600 boys set to the boys throughout the kingdom was a most excellent one. It was not the drill or the marching, but the discipline. Discipline did not mean punishment, but merely looking after themselves and any job set before them, whether for their own good or somebody else's good. He thought their marching and their quarter column wheeling, although he was not supposed to know, was excellent.

Brigadier Bennett Mitchell said they were greatly honoured by having a naval officer to inspect them. That was the first time they had been inspected by a naval officer, but he hoped they would have many more. He called for three hearty cheers as a token of their appreciation of Admiral Heath, who was to leave almost immediately for Rosyth.
The youngsters gave three rousing cheers for their distinguished visitor.

Fisgard Aquatics
Ship's Company's Day - Bright Little Inaugural Meeting.

The ships company of H.M.S. Fisgard have launched out with an aquatic meeting of their own, and if one may be allowed to judge from the success of the opening meeting on Wednesday, there will be much more to say about it in future years. Quite a lot of good things can be said about the initial effort. 

The men looked upon it as their day and although things were conducted in a free and easy way, typical of the Navy when at play, the organisation was of the best, and the lengthy programme never flagged. 

There were about 250 entries for the 21 events, and nearly 500 guests watched the sport, which took place alongside the ship, from the decks of the Fisgard itself. 
Better sport could not have been seen anywhere. There was some exceptionally fine diving, some first-rate swimming, and a most interesting polo match amongst the host of other events, many of them being novel in character. 

Two races for officers were included in the programme and their popularity with the men was evidenced by the reception given them from the ship. - - -- 

The meeting was arranged by Lieut.Leary, who it to be heartily congratulated upon his splendid management of a troublesome "first timer." He was assisted by a committee composed of Ch.Mechn.White, P.O.Tibbles, P.O. Honeyman, 1st Writer Arundale, A.B.Clarke, Stoker Williams, and Pte.Cracknell, R.M.L.I.

The officials of the day were:- Capt. C.P.Beaty-Pownall C.M.G., Lieut-Commander Heath-Caldwell, Engineer Lieut.Commander C.Gray, and Paymaster-Lieutenant Hall, - - -

The New Club at Alsager (by "G.E.M.")

The new Alsager Gold Club to which I referred some time ago seems to be now on a substantial footing. Of course it is really too late to "make a splash" this season, but the club has now several quiet months ahead in which to "dig itself in," and blossom out next season as a full blown club, ready to meet all comers. Everyone will wish it the best of luck. There is undoubtedly a need for a gold course in a place like Alsager, and with the support already accorded it, and with that which is sure to be forthcoming, there should be no doubt as to its success.

An enthusiastic meeting of the first members of the Alsager Club was held on Wednesday, Capt. F.L.Joseph C.B.E., presiding. The officers were elected as follows:- President, General Heath-Caldwell; vice-presidents, Sir Philip Baker Wilbraham, Col.H.Johnson, Capt.F.L. Joseph and Messrs Joel Settle, T.F.Maddock, E.Craig and Ed.Hollinshead; committee, Messrs J.J.Nelson, J.H.Boycott, A.P.Tiley, A.H.P.Pauli, A.J.Leadbeater, G.E.Barker, A - - -

When he (Mr.Tiley), roswe to thank the members, Mr.Tiley was received with loud applause. He referred to the excellent site which had been procured for the course, and thought that General Heath-Caldwell should be thanked most heartily for his generosity in allowing the links to be placed in such an ideal position.  - - - continues. - - -
