A. No. Some of the N. C. O’s and the officers had seen service, but none of the men ; they were all brought in under the military service act, to the best of my knowledge ; there might be one here and there would come in as a volunteer.

A. No, I was told to use common sense as much as possible.
Q. I know you have got a great supply.
A. Thank you. If we saw two or three talking, I told them, I said, don’t bother them ; If you see seven or eight young fellows and they are nasty, why I said go up and ask them to move on.
