A. R. CORNOCK, Major General. A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF ORDNANCE SERVICES Does Christmas nowadays come round more quickly than it used to? Even if it seems like it, obviously it doesn't! U is our busy lives and constant concern with crises—national, pro- fessional and domestic—which makes time fly, We in Ordnance Services have had our share of these crises in the last twelve months and have yet again been faced at all levels with taking hard and sometimes unpalatable decisions, and working under pressure with limited resources, i.e. being " overstretched" whilst striving to maintain our self-imposed high standards. As I visit units at home and overseas this is all apparent. But so is the professionalism and dedication with which our uniformed and civilian members tackle their tasks, and the enthusiasm which they apply to all they do. As a result, Ordnance Services worldwide have in 1977, continued to give our "customers" all the support required of us. Apart from their technical and military duties, our units do a great deal of fund raising or active participation in helping others—the deprived, the incapacitated, orphans, the needy—in true Christian spirit This is the proper time of year to acknowledge this work which involves many people in giving up a great deal of their leisure time and I offer my congratulations and good wishes to all who involve themselves so successfully in these worth- while activities. To all members of our " Ordnance family" and their own families, my wife and I send greetings this Christmastide, with our best wishes for 1978. MICHAEL CALLAN, — 201 — Major General. |
