Unit Anti-Mosquito Squads

Beside the Malaria Control Unit, provision was made for unit anti-mosquito squads.

On the whole, the co-operation of officers in providing personnel for anti-mosquito work was good. In actual practice an NCO from Headquarters usually supervised the work and most of the control work was done by company squads, normally two men per company. On the whole this was satisfactory, and men showed commendable keenness in doing the work required of them.
