DescriptionLetter from Lieutenant Basil Fisher, reporting about a Piper, who - on the disbanding of the Ross and Cromarty Rangers - is willing to come to the 78th as a Drummer, provided he is allowed to wear a sergeant's coat. Also saying that there are a number of country lads from 15 to 18 years old who just fail to reach the height standard but who will grow, and adding that there is urgent need for clothing supplies as Sergeant McBean and Private Balgowan are in rags.
