In addition 26 soldiers were receiving outside instruction arranged in connection with the centres. There were also at Chisledon at that date 47 ex-Service families, under a scheme arranged with the Overseas Settlement Department and the British Legion, and 168 single civilians, under a scheme arranged with the Ministry of Labour.
