So far over £1,200 has been raised and we wish to thank all those individuals, Officers and Sergeants Messes in the Corps who have donated so very generously to this cause. Despite a very early morning start, a very hot day and a long march one hundred and twenty four of those who started completed the course on time—a tremendous effort by all concerned. COLONEL JACK HANLON retires this month after thirty six years service. He was commissioned into the Royal Artillery during the war and gained his pilot's wings with the Gunners before transferring as a regular officer to RAOC in 1952. Since joining the Corps he has held a variety of depot and staff appointments at home and overseas and served with the Army Air Corps in BAOR as DADOS Air. He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in 1965 and subsequently held a number of ADP appointments, including that of Installation Manager at Chilwell. Jack will be well remembered by his friends for the way he performed the difficult job of co-ordinating various activities in BAOR to enable the ICP to be set u p in 1973. He was then promoted to Colonel and took u p his last ap- pointment which has been Director of the Army Cataloguing Authority based at Woolwich. Our best wishes go to him and to his wife Beryl, and we know that their many friends in the Corps will wish them both a long and happy retirement GRANT OF REGULAR QUARTERMASTER CATEGORY COMMISSIONS IN RAOC 19T8-T9 The Corps of Drums leads the marchers into Eastbourne* RAOC SECRETARIAT ONE of the objects of the Secretariat is to keep all who are now serving, or have served, in the Corps, abreast of Corps events and to advise on Corps domestic affairs.
