WOOXiWICH 
ON TUESDAY, 29th Nov., 1898, a discussion was held at the R.A. Institution, 
on the “ Artillery used in the recent campaigns in Egypt ” (Atbara and 
Omdurman.) Lieut.-General Sir Henry Brackenbury, k.c.b., k.c.s.i,. took the 
chair at 3 p.m., and the various officers who had served with batteries in these cam¬ 
paigns were in turn invited to give their experiences. There was a very large 
attendance of officers of all arms, both from Woolwich and out-stations. The 
discussion terminated at about 5.30 p.m.; a verbatim report thereof will, in due 
course, appear in the “ Proceedings ” R.A. Institution. 
ON THURSDAY, 1st December, 1898. Major A. J. Abdy, R.A., was entertained 
at dinner at the R.A. Mess on vacating the appointment of Secretary to the 
R.A. Institution and prior to embarking for India to assume the command of the 
53rd Field Battery at Deesa. Colonel R. Corbett, in proposing his health, 
referred to the great services which Major Abdy had rendered to the 
Institution—a sentiment which will be thoroughly endorsed by all members 
of the R.A. Institution throughout the Regiment.
