EDITORIAL OFFICE: RAOC SECRETARIAL DEEPCUT, CAMBEHLEY, SURREY, (Telephone: Broohwood 4511, Ext, 516.) For the Record Notices Expedition Dry Gulch Observations by Checker RAOC Aid Society Annual Report Across England Road Relay Race Letter from Fremington People in the News Station News—Home Association News Station News—Abroad Postings and Promotions THE visit of Her Majesty The Queen to the Corps at Bicester is indeed welcome news; particularly in this year, which not only marks the twenty fifth year of Her Majesty as our Colonel-in-Chief, but also the Diamond Jubilee of the granting of the title Royal to our Corps by her grandfather. King George the Fifth. The title was granted in 1918 in appreciation of, and I quote T H E GAZETTE of the period, " Splendid services during the War." It was conferred upon the Officers of Army Ordnance Depart- ment and upon the Army Ordnance Corps which were, at the same time, amalgamated to form the Royal Army Ordnance Corps as we know it today. Although the Royal Visit is on 16th May we hope to include cover of it in issue due out on the first of June. By the sixteenth of the month T H E GAZETTE is normally already in 4 paste u p ' form and back at the printers for proof printing, printing and then distribution to the many corners of the world your magazine finds itself in. The difficult timing will present many problems in getting T H E GAZETTE out even reasonably on schedule, particularly so far as photographic blockmaking is concerned. Still we hope to include at least a four page cover within T H E GAZETTE, though there is little hope of producing a photograph of the event on the front cover, certainly not in colour since this takes some two weeks of block making and preparation after a suitable colour photograph is in our hands and believe it or not, now costs some £250 plus printing costs. A compromise is to design and pre- prepare a commemorative cover which is the likely solution at the time of going to press. To wait until the July issue is really much too late, even though the end product might be better. So the June issue it is and, in a situation which relies upon so many people before we get our hands on the copy, only one thing is certain—• that we will do our best. 366 to 369 371, 388 and 398 372 to 373 374 375 to 376 377 378 379 380 to 388 388 389 to 398 399 to 400 — 365 Cobtr $Ijotograpl) LANCE CORPORALS McMURDO AND POLLIN of Ludgershall with their BV 202 Mk 2 Snowcat on snow rescue work in Devon during the "West Country blizzards. (See page 367.) Although the photograph arrived rather late it has the requirements of a good cover photograph; general interest and taken portrait with a good clear space for the titles. Photographs of groups, so often sent in, are difficult to use, even if good quality, for this important reason. Photograph by Mr D. H. J. Hall, Bracton Studio. |
