THE SPORTSMAN’S BATTALION

The official medical examinations of the new Sportsman’s Battalion will take place today for London and on Friday for the country.

It is quite possible that, in view of the great success which has attended the movement, a second battalion may be recruited in the course of the next few weeks.

Among those who have already joined are two baronets.
