... OF the sixth account that they have issued of progress on their estate in Hampshire where game research is undertaken, I.C.I. Game Services say we hope we shall never again have to compile such a gloomy one-- gloomy from the shooting man's point of view. The summer of 1954 was indeed a killing one.
