T1IK CORPS TRAIN I WONDER how many know that the Corps has a British Rail dicscl named after it. It is listed as a Class 45 Diesel- Electric No. D61. It used to run between Sheffield and St Pancras: Captain D. A. Wright has written in to say that the number has now been changed to 45-112 and that it is still in service from the Derby operations area.

A WORTHY CAUSE LAST MONTH we reported on a Training Centre sponsored run in aid of the National Kidney Research Fund. The soldiers who took part were Corporals Jack Lonegran, Geordie Tones, Phil Ritchie, Roger Gill, M Legs" Robinson and Jock Knox, The run was organised by Lieutenant Colonel John Janes, Commandant of the Employment Training School The runners completed a total of one hundred miles on a route which took them through three counties, stopping at all St George's Taverns^ en route where collections were made. The final amount raised is still not known but at present is in excess of £500. Our thanks go to all units and establishments who sponsored these soldiers, and in particular to Mr Alan Williamson of the White Hart Inn at Frimley for his consider- able efforts which helped to make the event such a success.
