Fifteen army cadets set off from Coventry station for their first real taste of life in

Fifteen army cadets set off from Coventry station for their first real taste of life in the army. The boys aged between 14 and 18, are to spend a week with the Royal Artillery at Sennelager in Germany, Where they will take part in training and field exercises. They belong to the Coventry Cadet Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers. The visit will provide the chance for some of the boys to decide whether to make the Army their career. Others said they were going because of the excitement of a trip abroad. While in Germany, the party will divide into two groups - one helping to man guns and the other oractising signalling. They set off fully-equipped with combat kits, water bottles strapped to their backs and mess tins ready for cooking in the field.
