'STATION ERECTION" - A typical day of brilliant weather, when one felt the "joie-de-vivre" while battery visiting. A new station is being set up. The Battery Commander and Squadron Wireless Officer, after having settled the best position for the station are discussing the many points and problems dealing with Artillery Co-operation, in that spirit of camaraderie which was so typical of the intercourse between the Gunners and the Wireless Officer, who, on his battery visits, so often had to combine the spirit of an Ambassador, Diplomat and News Agency together with an impeachable knowledge on all points dealing with Artillery Co-operation, besides the expected Wireless Technical knowledge. The two Operators, evidently "old hands", think nothing of putting up their 30 foot mast unassisted, using pickets as a pivot for the base. The familiar Crossley Tender is waiting on the road and a patrolling R.E.8, a Hun diving behind a cloud, followed by Archie, a distant view of ruined Ypres, a camouflaged gun, complete the picture.
