Extract from one of Herbert Jollyman's letters home in 1916: "After dinner we had more skirmishing drill for an hour & a quarter & then marched off for our first lesson in firing on the miniature range. There were some fine results I can assure you. I got 2 hits on the card but there was no sign of the other 3. Several got none at all, other remarks from our instructors were most illuminating! After we had all finished, they took up the rifles & showed us how we ought to do it. Out of 5 shots each, they got 1 hit! & they came to the conclusion the rifles were not sighted properly."
Herbert served with the Machine Gun Section of 6th Middlesex Regiment.
