THE WELSH (CARNAR-VON) R.G.A. GENERAL UNDLEY'S TRIBUTE. I For a co-nkclerabl-o time past a disparaging rumour with regard to the Welsh (Carnar- von) R.G .A. has been in circulation to the effect that they were not being sent abroad on account of inefficiency. The injustice of thia rumour may be judged from the fact tha,t this line body of men were absolutely the first (and that in an incredibly short time) on the declaration of war to report the)m-wlv,es of all the Territorial forces in the kingdom, and were the subjects of a special order of commendation on their I-,ro:iiipt.iew and com.ple.te preparedness in this respect. The rumour has bNJU brought to the notice of the General Officer (omm-,tndin- the 53rd (Welsh) Division, with the result that a vin- dication of the reputation of this fine body of men, in the form of a "special order," has been issued by Major-General the Hon. J. E. Ldndley, commanding the 53rd (Welsh) Division. The contents of a confidential momorajiduim on the same subject are even more definitely eulogistic of the men against whom this cruel rumour is directed, but being inark-ad confidential cannot be published. The special order is in the following terms: 53rd (Welsh) Division. Special Orders by Majo-Gellcra.1 the Hon. J. E. Lindley, com- manding headquarters, 54, Bushmead-avenue, Bedford, 14th July, 1915. The G.O.C. re- greus that he has not had the time personally to say good-by-a to that portion of the Welsh Division that Ls being temporarily left be- hind. In bidding them farewell and wishing them good luck he desires to thank all ranks for the exemplary manner in which they have behaved and for t'he keenness and zeal they nave invariably shown in all their duties dur- ing the last cloven months. He further con- gratulates them. on the great reputation they have made for themselves and tho, cry cordial relations that have existed between the Welsh Division and civilian population in Shrews- bury, Cairn bridge, Northampton, and Bedford. The G.O.C. sympathises deeply in the dis- appointment naturally felt by those left be- hind at their not accompanying the rest of the division overseas, but he would remand them that they are left behind because their services are for the present required in Eng- land their turn will assuredly come, and he hopes from the bottom of his heart that when it does they' will rejoin the division and that he may have the honour of commanding them in the field.P. L. Pen is, Colonel, A.A. and Q.M.C., 53rd (Welsh) Division.
