Wireless operator training

I was sent to for training to No. 1 Signal Training Center at Dipalpur in [inaudible] and there I was put through the military training to begin with for five months and then I was selected for the wireless operator training. It was a technical training which consisted of electricity and magnetism and then science subjects, arithmetics and then wireless operating of various wireless sets we had those days. And then we had sounder, buzzer sounder and that we used to get as telegraphic training and actually the school officer commanding of that particular school was a British major and he was very fond of sending the telegraphy and he used to come to ask all of six students and he wanted to see how much we could read and we got used to his reading after some time. So we could challenge him, because he can do his very best and we said, see what happens. I got a speed of 40 words per mintue, that was a very good speed.
