24 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW MAJOR TEMPLE MACDONALD Major Temple MacDonald comes of a family well known in Prince Edward Island. He followed the English Course at St. Mary’s and afterwards became a very successful merchant in Georgetown, P.E.I. He left Canada in 1915 as Lieutenant in the 2nd Canadian Siege Battery, was pro- moted to Captain and later to Major when he was transferred to the 5th Siege Battery. He fell mortally wounded at Souchez Cross Roads, March 29th, 1918, and died the 2nd of April of the same year. Loyola extends sincere sympathy to his bereaved ones at home. LETTER FROM J. A. FLETCHER Obercassel am Rhein, M. Bonn, Dec. 15th, 1919. We are now, however, at our objective and are en- joying a well earned rest although there are considerable guards, etc., as we are part of the Rhine bridgehead guard. We left Mons on Nov. 18th and after cross- ing the industrial provinces of Hainault and Namur we passed through the agricultural districts of Marche and Luxenburg and reached the frontier on Dec. 4th. Since then the hike has been over the Eiffelwald Mountains, a chain of hills rising from the Rhine Valley very wild and sparsely settled and it was only the last day or two that the going was anyways easy. We (the whole Brigade) entered into Bonn on the 12th. with the bands playing the “Marseillaise” and “О Canada and were regarded by the crowds with curious indifference. We were very well housed in the Kaiserin Augusta Artillery Barracks and spent two days there before moving on to here. Bonn is a very fine city and the university town of Germany. It has an up-to-date electric tram service and several of us availed ourselves of this to go sight- seeing. The University Buildings have very magni- ;fieent grounds. Conditions in Germany are not as bad as we were led to believe. The food is of, course, dear and nasty, substitutes being used for nearly everything, but nobody looks very starved and other- wise life is even more normal than in London. The people are, of course, heartily glad the war is over, but they are agreeably surprised that we are so meek and mild in our occupation of their country. Wego and come as we please, always armed, of course, and preferably in couples and go freely into shops and beer gardens and theatres. Some of the boys went to the movies this afternoon in Obercassel and found same excellent. Yesterday we left Bonn and marched (the whole 2nd Canadian Division) through Bonn and over the Rhine Bridge in the centre of which Gen. Currie took the salute. Some swank, what? We marched with fixed bayonets and with all our transport, the pro- cession being about eight miles long, which not only held up all traffic in Bonn for half a day, but also gave the worthy burghers a wholesome respect for their conquerors. I do not know how long We will be here but every- опе is anxious to get home. Already a feeling of demobilization is in the air and certain arrangements are being made for education of skilled men during that period. In my platoon 90 per cent. of the men have put themselves down for courses in either agricul- ture, engineering or motor mechanics. Your affectionate nephew, (Signed) J. A. FLETCHER. We
