Mr. Brewin kindly invited the Cadet Corps to come to his Church, (St. Bartholomew ' s) to the Evening Service. The Corps turned out in full strength and accompanied by the new Bantam Unit marched to the Government House Cricket Field where they were inspected by His Excellency the Duke of Devonshire. His Excellency then gave a short address at the conclusion of which he called for three cheers for the King which were given with great vigour. The Corps then proceeded into the Church. After the Service it formed up and marched back to the School where it was dismissed. © © @ PRESENTATION OF COLOURS TO THE ASHBURY SCOUTS On Sunday, May 12th, His Excellency The Duke of Devon- shire presented colours to the Ashbury Troop.

In presenting the colours His Excellency said that he hoped the Troop would accept the Flag as a standard of the principle for which it stood. The colour party was composed of three Patrol Leaders, Burstall, Sladen and Hutchinson. After the presentation the Colour Party escorted the Duke up the Chapel to his seat.

18 THE ASHBURIAN The Headmaster then addressed us on the British Flag, telling how it had stood in the past for strength, virtue, justice and liberty. He then went on to say that these principles should act as a spur to the present generation to carry them out. He similarly compared the Scout Flag Standard and said it represented the same true principles. He particularly men- tioned the great Scout Motto BE PREPARED ' and pointed out how this motto had been lived up to during the War. After the ceremony the Scouts in command of Assistant Scout-master Bliss acted as a Guard of Honour. The Vice-regal Party consisted of their Excellencies The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Lord Richard Neville, Lady Spring-Rice, Captain Kenyon-Slaney, Lord Charles Cavendish and Sir Lomer and Lady Gouin of Quebec.
