The Inn NBC Cell has Witnessed a
substantial change of personalities
With Captain Robertson and W02
Purves tilting the gaps left after the
departure of SSgt Beaumont and Sgt.
Garriiigion Needless to say this last
year has been probably the busiest
period the Cell has experienced. This
was primarily due to Exercrse Eternal
Triangle, the tst Armoured Division
FTX, which ltlvulved sticking vast
quantities ot maps together even
betoi'e hostilities had started, ln

There appears to be an iriCreasrng
emphasis on the importance of the
lntelligence input on BOAR exercises.
This was well illustrated by the large
lntelligerice input on Exercise South
Fork, Some of it of fairly dubious
quality to throw the experts all the
line. Luckily the owners of EC were
not so easily fooled, helped by Cpl
Webster’s expert knowledge at all
things Sovtet on tracks or wheetsl
Throughout the next year the Cell
looks forward to putting together a
more comprehenswe packet of
instructions to improve the level ot
knowledge in the Sabre Squadrons It
is intended that our team for the tst
Armoured DlVlSlOll AFV Recognition
Competition should sweep the board
this year, atter coming third last year
