EDITORIAL DEMOBILIZATION AND THE "JOURNAL" INCE the pocket edition of the JOURNAL came into being last September the circulation has steadily risen. But with units moving about or being dis- . Sbanded, and with the demobilization of the early groups, distribution becomes more and more difficult. At the moment only a little over 1 per cent, of the Corps are subscribers, to whom the JOURNAL is sent direct. I would like to build this up to 5 per cent, of those now serving before the year ends. There is nothing regional about this Corps of ours. Our members come from , every part of the country. Yet nowhere in the Army is better comradeship to be" found. Such comradeship must be fostered, and I believe the JOURNAL can play its part . . . but only if men as they leave become subscribers. WHY NOT HAVE YOUR " JOURNAL " SENT DIRECT? .••* Send a P.O. or cheque for ten or twenty sixpences—or what you will—to *>The Editor, R.A.S.C. JOURNAL, Buller Barracks, Aldershot, asking for the next i ten or twenty copies of the JOURNAL to be sent to you at your home address. *Easy, isn't it? Please do it now.

t Certain censorship relaxations make it possible at last to publish some of $pse " histories of R.A.S.C. companies " that I am afraid you have accused me W putting on one side. I propose to include two or three stories in edch -, •ssue in the near future. So will all you Company Commanders please help me |y persuading someone who writes fairly cheerfully to send me the story of "Vpur company in 1,000 to 1,500 words (three copies, please), with photographs available? ,•<;[••> : I • ' C.
