too late for the course assembling at Ferney
Stratford 26th Jan, but that I would have
to attend the next course. in the meantime
I was advided to apply for a transfer to the

W R Hall Specialist Wireless Telegraphy Training Endorsement by Brigadier 31-Jan-1918
Headquarters
Tyne Garrison
Newcastle Upon Tyne
I beg to endorse and to recommend the application
from Acting Captain W.R.Hall Signal Troop of this Brigade
for a transfer to the Signal Service. From his technical
training,before he joined up on outbreak of hostillties and
from his work since then with Signallers it appears to me
his services would be of more value to the Country in the
Signal Service than in any other branch where his experience
would not avail him.
The telephone Service organised by Captain Hall in
this Section has been most successful.

Sir,
I have the honour to
request that you will forward as
a special case, this my application
to be posted to Feury Staford to continue wirless on
conclusion of my leave.
My reasons for this application
are as follows.
1) I originally came to the training
centre for wireless work, attached copy
of lettter from A.D.S. Northern Command,
but owing to some mistake was sent
on an 'S' course. I did not
apply for the specialist wireless
course because on asking the
advice of the chief instructor
at Staynes Park was told that
if I did, I might not get overseas.
2) I was exceedingly interested in
Haynes park on wireless and
should very much like to go more
deeply into the subject whilst
waiting orders to proceed overseas.
Trusting that this application will
meet with your favourable consideration.
I have the honour

Copy
From capt W. R. Hall
Sir,
I have the honour to request that you will
forward this my application to proceed overseas at an
early date by reasons for the regiment and as
follows.
1) I was commisioned to the 2nd Denbighshire Yeomanry in
Oct 1914 and signed to voluntary service overseas.
When the first draft was called for I
was not available being under instruction for signalling.
Later I was seconded to comm. the 2nd work
London Brigade Signal Section and for 2 years
was emplyed on C.D. work between Berwick
and L. by Sea. During this time I made three
attempts to get over seas but all were unsucessful.
2) The above correspondence explains that brought
me to the Training Centre. I am exceeding keen
on wireless work and did not apply for the
_ course owing to the delay in getting
overseas which would be occasioned thereby
