The Committee B.A. Mess, Woolwich, are endeavouring to form as complete 
an album as possible of all Officers now serving, who have reached the rank of 
Lieut.-Colonel, and also of all Officers who have left the Begiment. 
They have now 590 photographs, and are very anxious to increase the number, 
so will be grateful to any retired Officer or Officer of or above the rank of Lieut.- 
Colonel who, not having already sent his photograph, will be so kind as to do so. 
Should any Member of the Institution have in his possession photographs of 
deceased Officers the Committee would be very grateful if he would allow them 
to form part of the Library collection.

The Cricket season has opened very well for the B.A. Woolwich team which, this 
year, is stronger than it has been for along time ; of the six matches played live 
have been won. 
This year matches have been arranged against the Boyal Artillery at Ports¬ 
mouth, Sheerness and Aldershot, besides the two annual matches against 
Shoebury. The match B.A. Woolwich v. B.A. Portsmouth, was played on Whit 
Monday, both sides consisting of officers only. Portsmouth were without 
Quinton and P. L>. Hamilton, so Woolwich won rather easily. 
The most consistent run getters have been Major Curteis, Captain Adair, Lieuts. 
Perkins and Van Straubenzee while Captain Crampton and Lieut. Staveley are 
most welcome additions to the bowling talent.
