Neueiilieim College Cadet Corps.
The following- are extracts from the Volunteer
Service Gazette of November 18 ..
English Cadets in Germany.
Neuenheim College, Heidelberg, of which the Head
Master is the Eev. F. Armitage, is an institution for
preparing young Englismen for the Woolwich and
Sandhurst preliminary examinations, and also for the
Militia. There are about seventy pupils, who have
been formed into a cadet corps of two companies, for
the purpose of making them thoroughly well acquainted
with the English system of drill. The captain of the
corps is Mr. L. Armitage, who attends every parade,
and everything is conducted in a proper and soldierlike
way. The Lieutenant is Mr. W. H. Forman, late
Lieutenant Oxford Military College Cadet Corps. The
drill-instructor is Sergeant-Major Puttock, who has
had great experience, not only in the Eegular Army,
but in instructing Cadets in England. At first, we
believe, the local authorities were rather surprised at
the appearance of an English military or quasi-military
body in their midst, but all difficulties on this head
have been got over, and the appearance of a cadet in
uniform in the village of Neuenheim is now looked
upon as a matter of course. Indeed, the daily parades
Of the corps attract a great number of German spec-
tators, military men as well as civilians.
On Friday, the 1st inst., the members of the corps
were entertained by Captain Armitage, Officer Com-
manding, at luncheon, to commemorate the formation
of the corps. Captain Armitage proposed the health of
her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, which was
received with loud cheers. The Head Master of the
College, the Eev. F. Armitage, then proposed success
to the College Corps, remarking that Nov. 1st would be
a day to be marked by a white stone in the annals of
Neuenheim College. Lieutenant Forman proposed the
health of Captain Armitage, which was received with
musical honours. Sergt.-Major Puttock, in returning
thanks to the Eev. F. Armitage for the kind way in
which he had spoken of the smartness of the corps,
