My old friend Panjandrum saw a military history magazine in a newsagent’s today and took this image of Page 35.
Given the title of the article in the magazine, this blog’s title, and this piece from this blog in 2012, that’s a fine coincidence!
For what it is worth I’m pretty sure that Garland didn’t serve in the Boer War as the magazine articles suggests, but I have no doubt the concept of initiation system came from there.
