JANUARY 4, 1952: DÉFE AT BRITAIN ARMY GROWS TO TEN ACTIVE DIVISIONS :O The cricket loving peoples of the British Caribbean are weeping over the defeat of their side in Australia, and will not be comforted. The finest team of players ever to set forth from these countries has been beaten in Australia, has won not a single match against a State eleven, but has fought every Test match like stalwarts. After winning the Third, which gave a chance at clinching the series if they could hold the fourth, they lost that in one of the most epic struggles of the cricket field. Wondelfal!
But the West Indies still will not be comforted It will be so long before we shall have another chance to play that breed of cricketing wizards and gians of the antipodes; it may be so long before we can muster so lustreful a combination; the, defeat is a great disappointment, wit hout any doubt Our great armament of batsmen have never been comfortable against the Australian bowling Truly, the Australians were never comfortable against ours, but whether it be their spirit or the confidence which comes from playing at home, they fought back with skill plus that mysterious bravery which is so symbolised in the valiant innings of Ring in snatching victory out of the very jaws of the West Indians as they stood at bay in this immemorial and classic fourth Test.
Our bowlers have been wonderful though less varied and versatile than the Australian attack. But the very mercurial temper of the West Indian which makes him the finest of all cricketers to watch, has over and over again lost crucial points at critical stages, depriving both our batsmen and our bowlers of rewards and victories which seemed clearly theirs.
Some may contend colloquially that a good name is the nick name of a fool and it would have been better if the West Indians were less popular for sparkling cricket and more renowned for holding their catches, saving their wickets and winning the games. There is something cynically telling in that contention. But we really surrender that great vivacious human quality that combination of skill and recklessness which is almost a distil.
lation of the West Indian scene and mood Whatever be the answer, we have lost a climacteris series, a rubber whose de cision the whole cricketing world had watched and awaited with awe and wonder.
The test of our real cricketing spirit no longer rests with winning or losing, but with how we now take our losses. Let those who will, blame the umpiring: let the amm chair critics pillory the captain, let them reflect on the adverse effect of Lancashire League playing on our wonderful bats; let them be morose about dropped catches and wickets thrown away.
But they all must come sooner or later to the conclusion that all these are a part of cricket, and that the better team has won and 11th Armored Divisions. These divisions inherit the numbers and insignia of carlier divisions, all of which have distinguished fighting records.
The 11th Armored Division is now stationed in Germany. It is now being joined there the 6th Armored Division The 3rd Infantry Division has also been on the move from South East England to the Middle East. One of its brigade groups was flown out there two months ago, at the beginning of the disturbances in the Suez Canal Zone; the rest of the division has beco following by air and by sca LONDON, January. Britain Army now has a fighting strength of ten divisions, an increase of about 30 per cent during the past 12 months. Behind these stand 10 Territorial (equivalent to National Guard) divisions, which with vari ous independent Territorial brigades, make a total of 12 auxiliary divisions.
Four of the active divisions are serving in Germany under General Eisenhower in the Atlantic Pact forces. powerful force of these divisions is armored, and constitutes the largest armored force on the Continent of any of the nations.
More 48, 000 ground troops are in the Far East including 12, 000 in Korea, over 25, 000 in Malaya and more than 11, 000 in Hong Kong. There is a British garrison of formidable strength in the Suez Canal zone, helping to keep open that international highway for the ships of all nations. The bulk of Britain army of 436, 100 is now serving overseas.
Britain mechanized Army has a high percentage of technicians. This is largely due to the fact that universal military training has been maintained since 1939.
Young men are drafted for a two years period at the age of 18 and after training in the Regular Army forces are given part time training for 312 years in the Reserve.
The three new regular divisions are the 3rd Infantry Division and the 6th The better individual cricketers may the real effective team. and cricketing have been on the West Indies side, but is essential team work was the Aus.
tralian side under its redoubtable captain Hassett who for leadership of his men, for craft, perseverance, dogged ability, is an object lesson to all the cricketers of the British Caribbean.
And so hearty congratulations to the gallant and great cricketers of Australia Congratulations to skipper Goddard and the mighty men of the West Indies. In England they were great in victory In Australia, they were greater in defeat.
May Set Up Caribbean Fire School scheme for the establishment of a fire fighting school to prepare men for the services in the British Caribbean is to be worked out between the superintendents of Fire Brigade in Kingston and Port of Spain. The completed scheme is then to be circulated to other BWI territories for their approval. Financial aid is likely to be forthcoming from Colonial Development and Welfare.
Setting up of a school in the area for the area was thought to be a better approach to training problems, rather than sending selected men for training in the United Kingdom.
