"_Belt Filling by Limber Drivers_" (won by "C" Sub-section).
"_Stripping, Adjustment, Minor Repairs and Immediate Action_" (1st,
Lance-Corpl. Salter; 2nd, Lance-Corpl. Galway).
INSPECTION BY THE "C.-IN-C.".
In consequence of the increased number of cavalry which had arrived in the
country, the 7th Mounted Brigade now formed part of a Division, instead of
being an independent Brigade, as heretofore. This Division, which was
commanded by Major-Gen. H.J.M. MacAndrew, C.B., D.S.O., was at first styled
the "2nd Mounted Division," but, later on, it was altered to the "_5th
Cavalry Division_," comprising the 13th, 14th (the old 7th Mounted), and
15th (Imperial Service), Cavalry Brigades.
On June 27th, the Squadron paraded with the Brigade, in full marching
order, for an inspection of the Division by the "C.-in-C.". They marched to
the plain, north of Rishon-le-Zion, and were there duly inspected and
"marched past," after which units returned to camp, independently. The
"C.-in-C." expressed his high appreciation of the new Division. The next
morning (June 28th 1918) a Divisional tactical scheme was carried out, and
it was somewhat surprising to all ranks upon returning to camp, that orders
were received _for the Brigade to move that night at 01.
