The inclusion of such detachments could be awarded to units for efficiency and merit in various directions.
The scheme itself consists in the raising of voluntary aid detachments.
Have instructions been given to local volunteer detachments to prepare defences of any kind?
Very small detachments brought in large numbers of guerrillas, and those detachments behaved with considerable courage and great skill and impartiality.
A great many women have carried on with their detachments ever since the last war.
