Exercise 'Scottish Border' in September 1964 was one of the most ambitious exercises
ever attempted and involved some 120 personnel and 60 vehicles from all sections of the
Corps, who were away from London for four days on a convoy publicity and recruiting
drive which took them the length of the country. Various small exercises were carried out
en route in collaboration with other County Divisions of the Corps. The exercise obtained
considerable publicity, both locally and nationally, and had an undoubted effect on
recruitment as well as a stimulating effect on those taking part.
The Section has also provided detachments or representatives at a number of national
and civic occasions.
