Operation Rescue

The St John's Ambulance Corps held a cadets' course with a camp-out in the country recently.

Exercises were carried out in rugged conditions in which it is possible that the cadets would sometimes have to work.

Being a camp-out, the boys did all their own cooking but appeared none the worse for that.
