Relayed from
Rushmoor Arena, Aldershot
All the troops in the ist Cavalry Brigade and the ist and 2nd Divisions of the Army will take part
Hitherto, reviews at Aldershot have been held on Laffan's Plain, and the troops taking part were drawn up in line. But the Army of 1935 is so largely mechanised that it is difficult to convey a true impression of it by the old method. Today invisibility is the thing—invisibility of clothing and of equipment-and Rushmoor Arena is more suited for the nearer view that is necessary.
About 11,000 troops will take part.
They will consist of all Arms of the Service drawn from the Aldershot Command, and will include mechanised artillery and a complete Tank Battalion.
