The strength of a Company is 67, with 52 horses--namely: 3 Officers, 3 Sergeants, 1 Artificer, 1 Bugler, 59 rank and file, of whom 30 are available for the ballooning work. There are 3 wagons for equipment, 6 reservoir wagons for gas, 8 riding horses, and 1 bicycle. _Note._--In the strength of all the above Engineer Units are included 2 men of the Medical Corps attached. The above network of telegraphic inter-communication, extending between all Head-Quarters, is supplemented within the Units of the Field Force by a system of _Signalling_. Each Division has a Divisional Signalling Officer, with a small detachment of Signallers--4 men in the Cavalry Division, and a Sergeant and 6 men in the Infantry Division. Each Brigade has a Brigade Signalling Officer and 4 Signallers. Each Cavalry Regiment and Mounted Infantry Battalion has a Signalling Sergeant, with 27 Signallers (9 per squadron). Each Infantry Regiment has a Signalling Officer and Sergeant, with 32 Signallers (4 per company). Each Divisional Artillery Head-Quarters has 4 Signallers. Every Artillery Brigade has 2 Signallers. Every Battery has 5 Signallers. A system of _Telephones_ is, in addition, provided for each Infantry Brigade. There is a Telephone Detachment to work under the Brigade Signalling Officer. It consists of a N.C.O. and 5 privates, with a cart and a pack mule to carry the equipment, for which 2 drivers are allotted. 2. TRANSPORT _Road Transport_ alone will be here considered. This is the most important of the Administrative Services, as on it depend the mobility of the Force, and the working of the Supply, Medical, and Stores Services. Transport is required with the Units at the front, to carry the baggage and stores of the troops, and their ammunition and food for daily consumption, and to enable field ambulances to accompany the army. Transport is also required on the Lines of Communication, to bring up ammunition and food from the base to the front, and to remove the wounded to the base. It is agreed that Transport must be organized on a military basis when accompanying troops at the front, where civil transport is hardly dependable; but to provide the vast amount required in rear of the army on the L. of C. would demand more military Transport than could be kept up in peace, and _Auxiliary Transport_ has to be collected from civil services for this purpose. It is obvious that without a carefully worked out system of organization for its Transport, an army in the field will be helpless from want of ammunition and food, and slow and uncertain in its movements; the sick and wounded will lack attention; and the troops cannot fail to undergo hardships and privations, which will have a bad effect on their _morale_ and fighting power.
