least of the
kindnesses received were the services at Christchurch, under the Rev.
Courtney Gale. Nothing could have exceeded the warmth and vigour of the
church parades, which were much appreciated by all ranks.

On January 10th, 1916, the Battalion moved to its present camp.

ADMINISTRATIVE CENTRE.

The Headquarters and Depot or Administrative Centre are situated at 130,
Bunhill Row, E.C., and are in charge of Captain H. Ferguson, to whom the
Regiment owes a considerable debt of gratitude for the whole-hearted way
he has thrown himself into the work since he joined. Having been private
secretary to the late Lord Roberts, he has brought a ripe knowledge and
warm appreciation of the Territorial Force to bear on the thousand and
one details which have to be arranged from Headquarters. Here it is that
recruits receive their equipment and their first insight into drill.

The finances of the Regiment since war broke out have been ably looked
after by Major C. W. Cornish, V.D., who took up the reins again after
having laid them down in 1908.

The London Rifle Brigade Mutual Aid Society centres in Bunhill Row, and
a copy of its scheme is given in Appendix F.

The Prisoners' Aid Fund, for sending food and warm clothing to
non-commissioned officers and riflemen of the Regiment who are
prisoners, is also controlled from Headquarters. Weekly parcels are sent
by ladies of the Regiment to any whose relatives are not in a position
to send them all they require.
