APPENDIX E. _Commissions._ Since the 1st Battalion landed in France, 535 of its non-commissioned officers and men have received commissions. The majority of these were sent to the Cadet School at General Headquarters or to England, while the balance, just over 200, obtained their commissions when at home sick or recovering from wounds. Out of this number 65 (21 of "A," 20 of "B," 15 of "C," and 9 of "D" Companies) have been given commissions in the Regiment, and 30 of these received them direct in the field in the 1st Battalion. For a Regiment, whose 1st Battalion was fighting, the total given below is a proud achievement. It was always a wrench to part with candidates, but the figures prove that the strictures, often heard, that Commanding Officers refused to part with their best men were unfounded in the case of the London Rifle Brigade. A few commissions were granted before the 1st Battalion went abroad, but no details are, at present, available. Commissioned or transferred to O.T.C's and Officer Cadet Battalions. 1st Battalion 535 2nd Battalion 122 3rd Battalion 51
