I have spoken to Cambpell with regard to renwwing his
contract under the ShaiJcs Govermaent. As I had already
understood from him,he does not want tc stay on / "but is
anxious to get back to his Regiment & ^o on leave.
As it takes a long time to fix these matters up i perhaps it
would "be well to start looking for a relief early.Campne 11
completes his year on 20th August.
I have thought the matter well over 8c I think we should
now go for a Subaltern, date of commission about 1920 &
should require him to take on the job for two years with
one period of privilege leave during the term, ^uch an
offficer would have about two years to go before getting
his captaincy. By the time his two years up the Adviser
should have got into his stride & there should be no kem
necessity to repiice the O.C. Levies, as the Adviser
would be able to run the Levfes with a good 1.0.

The job should suit a married subaltern very well-the pay,
& the fact that he would live here cheaply, would be an
attraction & there is a very good bungalow attached to
the ^o U. The only thing is # that it would be much better
if we could get in touch with some young officftr and §
apply for him by name.When left to the army,they merely
send out a circular & it is not unnatural that C.O-s so
arrange it that we do not get their best man,but generally
an officer from whom the Regiment want a short respite 1
