When compressed, it operates countless pneumatic devices . . . drills which uncover the earth's rich mineral stores and drive highways through mountains and under rivers: tools which speed operations on the modern assembly lineg hoists which give man Hercu- lean strengthg other appliances which reduce costs, increase production and safeguard workmen in every phase of industrial endeavour. There is scarcely an article We use in the manufacture of which compressed air has not played a part.

You might have a choice of four stones of varying sizes-all offered at the same price. But a micro- scope would reveal the flaws in the larger stones. It is folly to judge by size in the purchase of a life-time gift. Because of our unusually large purchasing power - because we maintain our own diamond buying and cutting establishment in Ant- werp, we can make this positive statement- you cannot purchase a larger stone, of equal quality, elsewhere in Canada for the same price as here. We are most happy to show you the diamond you select under a special, high-powered microscope. BIRKS -ELLIS - RYRIE . 2 in a series of messages addressed TEND R. M. C.

Explosives Speed Fill Settlement- In road work swamps and marshes have been serious obstacles and so to speed fill settlement engineers are using explosives more and more. Here are live reasons why C-I-L Explosives should be used in this work: 1. Stable highways across swamps in least possible time. . Elimination of delay in completing road. . Reduced cost of maintaining detours and tem- porary highways. 4. A straight road between points. 5.

We are also, unknown to him, using his portrait as our frontispiece, and trust that we shall not incur his wrath by doing so. His article will, we hope, encourage some of his remaining class- mates to send us their reminiscences. The Old Eighteen perhaps do not realise how invaluable anything they write for us is both to all other ex-cadets and also for our records. 96 96 Dk ,If The term and academic year are approaching their ends amid the usual excitement of examinations and parades, sports, except on horse- back or water, are almost forgotten. We have had a good year and a healthy one, we have held our own in sports and last term won the senior Intercollegiate Soccer Championship. We must always remember that the great thing in sports is for everyone to have a chance of indulging in one or more of them, whether we win or lose is not of vital importance. Most of the teams we meet are coached by professionals who devote their whole time to the job of trying to make their teams win. In our opinion, which we are well aware will not be agreed with by many of our readers, it is a fine thing for us to win on our own merits, with the help of the non-professional coaches, who have done so much for us in the past. If we must have someone, would not a trainer and groundsman fill the bill, and let the R.M.C. spirit do the rest. P24 Pk Pk bk There has not been much change in the College grounds or build- ings. A new ward of 8 beds in the basement of the old Administration Building, has been added to the hospital, but has not been much used so far. The Senior Staff Mess has been fitted out with suitable furniture and rugs. 2 thirty-pounder guns have been mounted and placed between Fort Frederick Dormitory and the new Mess Building. 12 R. M. C. REVIEW As mentioned in the Library notes in this issue the time is shortly coming when a separate library building, with rooms for work and re- search, will be necessary 5 our present somewhat makeshift suite of rooms 'is rapidly becoming inadequate for the two main purposes of a library, to house the books and to house those who wish to consult the books. Carlyle's prophetic words are truer than ever to-day:- The true university of these days is a collection of books. Pk Pk Dk Pls The fatal accident on the last day of April cast a gloom over the College. It was one of those unforseen and unpreventable occurrences which may happen anywhere and anytime. We wish to express our most sincere sympathy to the family. On another page will be found the account of the funeral service. Pk Dk Pk PF In accordance with the excellent custom which has lately sprung up, the week-end in the middle of May was the Ex-Cadet Week-end. The last few years the R.M.C. Club has arranged its annual dinner to coin- cide with the presence at the College of the Advisory Board. This seems to be a most happy arrangement for all concerned. For further details, as they say over the radio, see below in this issue. The parade of ex-cadets and the Memorial Service at the Arch were as touching and impressive as ever and gave the week-end that solemn touch which remains in the memory long after the happy reunions and jollity are forgotten. We were privileged to have with us at the various ceremonies connected with the Advisory Board, Major-General E. C. Ashton, Chief of the General Staff, Maj or-General C. F. Constantine, Adjut- ant-General, and Commodore P. W. Nelles, Director of the Naval Service. Dk Pk X bk May we take this opportunity of congratulating No. 1003, Captain A. M. Mitchell, on his election to the presidency of the R.M.C. Club of Canada for the ensuing year. The fact that he has a son at the College, if possible, enhances his suitability for this most honourable position. We may be exceeding our authority if we thank the retiring president, No. 877, C. L. Magann, for all he has done for the College during his two years in the office, but at all events we can thank him for all he has done for the Review. all Pk Pk Pk We are often asked to publish more pictures of current events in the Review. We noticed over the ex-cadet week-end a great number taking photographs of the various ceremonies. If these photographers would send us some of their best efforts in that line we should be very happy to print them. l QD fm- -------' ,- ,Hill L, 1 'll - ,xg Qu. mr 5 r 3 Q a5l-.,5l,lQ lllll, ll!

E ae Z CANADV' THE EX-CADET VVEEK-END N the 13th and 14th of May a large and happy body of ex-cadets foregathered at their old College for their annual dinner and various reunions. This annual gathering has now become a tradition, and a very good one too, for many reasons. The week-end is fixed to coincide with that in which the College Advisory Board meets, so that the ex-cadets can see all the drills, exercises, boxing, etc., which are put on for the Board. In addition the Members of the Board can see not only the work of present cadets, but the results of that work in the persons of the ex-cadets, and so get a much better idea of what the College means in Canadian life. A minor point, which may be worth mentioning is that the congestion at the June Ball week-end which was rapidly becoming excessive is now considerably lessened. The two high spots at this Annual Meeting are undoubtedly the Parade and Memorial Service at the Arch and the R.M.C. Club Dinner, both of which took place on Saturday, May 14th. At the former about 130 ex-cadets paraded on the Square under command of No. 203, C. W. Bermingham, who had as his adjutant No. 1860, Nicol Kingsmill. Headed by the R.C.H.A. Band, playing Boys of the Old Brigade, the ex-cadet bat- talion marched round the Square and received the most enthusiastic cheers from present cadets leaning out of the windows of the two dormitory buildings, and also, to a lesser degree, from visitors in the Square, some of whom obviously felt nearer to tears than cheers. As they marched off the Square the salute was taken by No. 65, Colonel G. Hunter Ogilvie, and No. 75, Colonel A. T. Kelly Evans, and standing with them was Mrs. A. G. G. Wurtele, window of No. 1, Captain A. G. G. Wurtele. The beautiful little service at the Memorial Arch was conducted by No. 1394, the Rev. S. W. Williams. Wreathes were placed at the foot of the Arch by No. 877, G. L. Magann, retiring president of the R.M.C. Club, and No. 870, Major E. H. deL. Greenwood, representing the Class of 1913. The trumpeters of the R.C.H.A. played the Last Post and Reveille and gave the final touch of impressiveness. In the evening the Annual Dinner was held at the La Salle Hotel with the Advisory Board and a few others as guests. This year the Class of 1913 held a reunion to mark the 25th anni- versary of its graduation. This is another excellent custom which should become a tradition. Details of their programme will be found in the Ex- Cadet Section of this number. A special word of praise should be given to the B.S.M. of the Class, No. 870, Major Greenwood, who not only, with untiring energy, organised the reunion, but also wrote and published a Very fine memorial book, which had a great deal to do with the ultimate success of the whole undertaking. He has set an example which will not be easy to follow. -W. R. P. B. NO. 605, PROFESSOR OLIVER TIFFANY MACKLEM, B.S 1908 - 1938 JUNE, 1938 17 No. 605, PROFESSOR U. T. MACKLEM, B.Sc. It is with the greatest regret that we record, at the end of this aca- demic year, the retirement of Professor Oliver Tiffany Macklem, B.Sc., from the College. In case any of our readers should fail to recognize the subject of our little article under this grandiloquent designation we shall in future descend to the vernacular and refer to him simply as Tiff, In regard to the date of his birth, Tiff has asked us to be approxi- mate, so we shall say merely, that he was born sometime in the last Century. The groundwork of his scholarship was laid at Trinity College School, Port Hope. In 1902 he entered the College as a member of one of the sixty-odd greatest classes which have ever been at the College. The claim to greatness of this class is substantiated by the fact that it has given to the College two commandants, one senior professor, two professors of artillery, two professors of engineering and one port admiral who still navigates on two wheels. For the three years he was at the College, Tii was a member of the 1st Hockey Team. He graduated in 1905 as a sergeant and at once pro- ceeded to McGill University where in 1908 he obtained his B.Sc. degree. That same year he returned to the R.M.C. as Instructor in Civil Engi- neering. When war broke out he was given a. commission in the Cyclist Corps, C.E.F. Ccycling is still popular in the Engineering Departmentl. He later became Staff Captain, 4th Canadian Infantry Brigade, and finally was attached to the A.P.M., Canadian Corps, Paris. We have often tried to glean some information about his experiences in this last position, but his memory, otherwise so remarkable, here seems to fail him, however, we do know that von Kluck never dared to approach Paris again. During the War Tiff was still attached to the College, and after a year's leave returned as Associate Professor of Civil Engineering in 1920. In 1933 he was made professor and head of the department. So he has been on or attached to the College Staff since 1908, a period of 30 years. If his time as a cadet is added to this, his total connection with the Col- lege is thirty-three years. This record has been beaten by only one other, an ex-cadet also, No. 14, Major J. B. Cochrane, who was on the Staff for 32 years and a cadet for four years. The only other member of the Staff in the running is Prof. I. E. Martin who was on the Staff for 32 years also. For some years Tiff has been treasurer of the College Recreation Club, a duty which he has performed with the greatest exactitude. We, which includes the Staff and all present and past cadets, wish him a long and happy enjoyment of his well-earned leisure, though we must say that, with his youthful looks and figure, we feel that it will be difficult for him to act the part of a retired veteran. The College will seem a different place without his cheery smile and we shall miss the wonderful example he gave us of always minding his own business. We hope that he will always live in Kingston and turn up at the College on Every possible occasion. Good luck to you, Tiff, and to your wife and amily. On Monday, May 30th, the R.M.C. Senior Staff gave a dinner in honour of Prof. O. T. Macklem at the R.C. Signals' Mess, Vimy Barracks, at which the Commandant presided. During the dinner the guest of honour was presented with a silver tray from his friends on the Senior Staff. -W. R. P. B. R. M. C. REVIEW 3 9 M IDEATH OF GENTLRMAN CADET R. D. SMITH No. 2485, Gentleman Cadet Rowland Drake Smith died as the result of a tragic accident on the evening of Saturday, April 30th, 1938. He was born in 1916, and after attending the Uni- versity of Toronto Schools he entered the College in 1935. On Monday, May 2nd, in the early morning, the body was placed in the Sir Arthur Currie Hall and a Lying-in-State party of his original classmates mounted guard. At noon a short simple funeral service was conducted by the Very Rev. Dean Craig which was attended by the father and brother of Rowland Smith, the Staff, the Cadet Battalion and a number of ex-cadets from Kingston and Toronto. The Escort, composed of the Second Class, and the remain- der of the College formed up in close column on the Square after the Service. The Escort received the coffin on parade at the Present, then reversed arms and took up its place at Open File ahead of the hearse and the R.C.H.A. Band. The parade then moved off the Square, the R.C.H.A. Band playing a Dead March with muffled drums, and proceeded to the Outer Station. At the Station the Escort halted, faced inwards and rested on their reversed rifles, with bowed heads, while the hearse and bearers passed up between their ranks. The Commandant, Staff and remainder of the Battalion formed up on either side of the Escort as the train pulled into the station. As the bearers lifted the coffin on their shoulders, the Escort paid their final compli- ment by presenting arms, and as they placed it on the train the trumpet notes of the Last Post sounded. The bearers then stepped back into line, white-gloved hands flashed to the salute, and the Reveille rang out, clear and true, as the train began to move. JUNE, 1938 19 REMINISCENCES OF THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE By ONE OF THE OLD EIGHTEEN N the fall of 1875 I went down to the Old Fort in Toronto for my entrance examination, and there met L. R. Irving and S. J. A. Denison. I got my first shock when Col. Denison, D.C., told me to go into the next room and take my physical examination. The doctor told me to strip down to the pelt and walk around the room. He advised me that while I was small fl stood four feet three inches in height and weighed about 110 poundsl that I was healthy and I would pass. The following June, 1876, the three of us reported at the college and were received by Maj. J. B. Ridout CCaptain of Cadetsj, and were shown to our quarters on the top floor of the Stone Frigate. I roomed on the top floor my entire four years. In 1876 the top floor and the east half of the second floor were used for cadets' sleeping quarters, and each had a room to himself. The west half of the second floor was occupied by Maj. Ridout and family. On the first floor, to the left of the entrance, was a reading and recreation room, and at the east end was one large recitation and study room. The rest of the floor comprised oflices for the Commandant, Captain of Cadets and Staff Sergeant. The west end of the basement floor was used for our mess room, and the balance of the floor was used as kitchen and quarters for the caterer and staff, Mr. Irving CFaganJ. The college buildings were lighted by kerosene lamps placed in brackets on the walls, with a reflector behind each lamp. We were not permitted to leave the college ground until we were outfitted with our uniforms. So it was nearly a month before we got over to Kingston to swagger up and down King and Princess Streets and to call on our friends in the city. Cadet Fairbanks' father was a large oil operator, at Petrolia, Ont., and in September, his parents, on their way to the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, stopped at the College, to take Charles with the-m. The Commandant informed them that Charlie was now in the Queen's service and that only by permission of the Minister of Militia, could he leave the College, but he would not recommend the application, unless Mr. Fair- banks would take the entire class, as he was not in favour of any favorit- ism. To make it up to Charley, they installed a piano in his room, which he played very well and out of which we all got some pleasure, playing and singing with him. Someone gave us a small black bear cub, which was kept chained up, near the entrance to the Stone Frigate. Cadets Irving and Keefer would wrestle and box with him, but in a year the cub got rough and tough, so he was chloroformed and stuied. The last time I saw him, he was doing sentry duty at the head of the stairs in the Educational building. When I attended my first sick parade, Dr. Yates said, What is the matter with you? Let me see your tongue, open your mouth wide and he filled it with dry calomel powder and stood in front of me till I had 20 R. M. C. REVIEW swallowed it. I decided then that I would not attend another parade unless I was very sick. L. H. Irving was appointed Sergeant Major and could hand out two days C.B. at his will and pleasure, though he had to make out a daily report of the same to the Captain of Cadets. I got over to Kingston very seldom during 1876, as I put in most of my time doing pack drill, much to the disgust of Sergeant Major Morti- mer, who had to see that I duly paraded. The staff in June, 1876, consisted of Col. Hewett CRamrodJ, Com- mandant, Maj. J. B. Ridout, Captain of Cadets four best friend and kindly nurse when you were sickj, Maj. Kensington, Professor of Mathematics fthe best mathematician in the British Army at that time, as his record provesl, Capt. Fairclough CFattyJ, Professor of Drawing and Artillery, Prof. Ferguson fthe Reverendl, French and German, Sergeant Maj. Mor- timer, Instructor in Infantry, Sergeant Maj. M. I. Leader, Supplies and Record Clerk, and Dr. O. Yates, Surgeon. The following year, I think, the staff was enlarged by the addition of Col. Oliver, Maj. Walke-r, Prof. Baine, Dr. Duvall and Sergeant Major Morgan. All of the staff were invited to become members of the officers' mess of the A. Battery, and most of them dined there at least one night a week. If Dr. Duvall had been there, upon the assembling of his French class that evening, the following pro- cedure usually occurred: The doctor would order one of us up to the blackboard to write the following sentence in French: Be virtuous and you will be happy. By the time this had been done the doctor would be dozing in his chair and we never disturbed him. We were outfitted with the old Snider-Enfield rifle and I had a hard time in handling it to the satisfaction of Sergeant-Major Mortimer, who informed the company one afternoon on parade that I don't want to be calling out 'There you go again, Mr. Davis' So from now on I will only say 'There you go No. 8 in the rear rank,' as I do not want to hurt any gentleman's feelings. However, when we were finished with the Martini Henry rifle I could handle it so that he didn't have to mention No. 8. In the fall of 1876 we were taken down to a small island in the St. Lawrence for two weeks camping out under canvas. When we got to the camp I was detailed as one of the cooks, and we decided to have an Irish stew for supper, to which I added a whole bottle of Currie powder. When the officer of the day came around to see how we were making out the boys all complained they could not eat the stuff. The officer tasted it and said: It sure is good, but awful hot. When he reported to the Com- mandant it was decided to send for the caterer and staff, and they were established in a large marquee tent and I was relieved from cooking duties. However, I was not relieved from sentry duty. The sentries' beat was a path across the island that passed just beyond the marquee tent occupied by the caterer, and upon my tour from two to four a.m. at each half-hour I would stop at the tent, lift the flap, and inform them Half past two and all is well. The next day I was relieved also from sentry duty and the Guard was informed to let the caterer and the staff sleep undisturbed. Orders read on Saturday stated that the Roman Catholic Church parade would fall in at 9.45 a.m. and the Episcopal at 10.15 a.m. Sunday morning, Sergeant-Major Mortimer was on hand and Mr. Spellman fell in for inspection. The Sergeant-Major told him that when he returned from JUNE, 1.938 21 church he could spend a little time to advantage on pipe claying his belt and shining his shoes, that as he would be alone coming back he could carry his swagger cane for protection. At 10-15 the rest of us fell in and were inspected by Sergeant-Major Irving. Then Maj. Ridout took command and we were marched over to St. George's Cathedral. We had the front seats in the west gallery and A Battery were seated in the opposite gallery. When the services were over Maj. Ridout often took the organ and played a Recessional. And what music he could get out of that organ! I think I can still hear it. When we fell in to be marched back we had the right of line and when the senior officer present had given the order to march off the column started down King Street. When we had marched a couple of blocks, if Captain Wilson was in charge of the battery he would wheel down the side street at the Double to try and get ahead of us so we would not get the first salute of the Guard at the Tete de Pont Barracks gate. But we could also double and I do not remember that he ever succeeded in beating us to the salute. In August, Col. Hewett gave a ball for us at his house in Kingston to introduce us to society and as an invitation from him was the same as a command we all attended. As I had not learned to dance, Denison kindly stated he would teach me. So every evening he gave me at lesson, the two of us waltzing up and down the hall on the top floor. On the evening of the dance Mrs. Hewett asked me to dance with her. I quickly found out that dancing with her was quite different to dancing with Deni- son. She said Mr. Davis, I am going to have Miss K. take you out on the veranda and give you a few lessons, which she very kindly did. Miss K. soon got tired of my walking on her feet, so I retired to the neigh- borhood of the refreshment booth and spent the balance of the evening very pleasantly. It took me at least two days to get over the effects of the champagne cup. The winter of '76-'77 a toboggan slide was constructed on the glacis of Fort Henry, opposite the college, by the Staff and Officers of HA Bat- tery. A row of small pine trees was set up on both sides of the slide, to keep the snow from being blown away. The toboggans were hauled up on a path alongside the trees. On Saturday afternoons especially, a large crowd of Kingston people would come over to enjoy the sport, driving over in their cutters upon the ice-frozen bay. When the ice formed it left a ridge of rough ice from two to four feet high and this had to be chopped down at the foot of the slide. One Saturday afternoon Col. Hewett was over and someone suggested that he would get a faster ride if he went down on the path alongside the trees. He lay down on the toboggan and when he hit that ridge of ice at the bottom he was catapulted out onto the ice. Fortunately he did not break his neck, but he did not show up at the college for ten days or longer, by which time he had forgotten who it was suggested that he take that ride. One Saturday afternoon a widow and her two daughters drove over and one of the girls wanted to go down the slide standing up on the tobog- gan. She persuaded me to take her down and she stood up behind me, holding on to the rope. When we got down onto the level ice she turned round to wave to the people at the top of the slide, lost her balance, and the next thing I saw was a pair of red flannel clothed legs coming over 22 R. M. C. REVIEW my shoulders, as she landed in my lap. She picked herself up and ran over to her mother's sleigh, amid the plaudits of the spectators. I did not see her again for several months. At our June graduation ball in 1880 when dancing again with Miss K. she said If you have improved as much in your studies as you have in your dancing your folks will have no cause for complaint. In June, 1877, Col. Hewett sent for me and said, Davis, in looking over your conduct record it appears you have enough bad marks to entail your expulsion, but in examining the record I do not find anything against you but boyish pranks, and, as we will have a number of new cadets coming in soon, I do not wish these juniors to become seniors to any of the present class, so I am going to give you your Lance-Corporal Stripe, and I hope you will retain it. When I graduated I was sergeant, and I think I was as well disliked as any non-com. could be. I remember the college and corps being inspected by Lord and Lady Dufferin and the Marquis of Lorne and his wife fthe Princess Louisel, who handed us our certificates. When the presentation was over we formed a Guard of Honor from the hall down the stairway to their car- riage. I was standing on the landing half way down the stairs and when she reached that point she turned to her lady-in-waiting and said, Please give me a cigarette, which she lit, and proceeded to her carriage. That was quite a shock to me as at that time none of the ladies I knew smoked. However, it is different in 1938. A short time ago I discharged a negress cook for coming to work intoxicated. She informed me that when I engaged her I did not ask her if she drank, and that all the ladies now- adays drank and smoked. So the habit has now extended from the princess to the negress. In conclusion I will say that upon my graduation I stood five feet eight and a half inches in my stocking feet and weighed 140 pounds, showing what regular hours, plenty of exercise and good food will do for a non developed youth, to say nothing about the fine educational advan- tages of the Royal Military College of Canada.

Born, Montreal, July 15th, 1917. Schools: Selwyn House, Lower Canada College. Chip began his extremely successful R.M.C. career in August, 1934. His success has taken many forms. In sports he played football on the First Team for four years, Second Basketball for three years and First for one, is noted for having won the individual championship in the Aquatic Sports and has also won the Gym Competition. He was awarded crossed clubs and crown in his recruit year, retained them in his third class year, and then suddenly in his second class year he began to yearn for more gold braid. He started with lance-corporal's stripes, then crossed swords and crown, crossed guns and crown, and then to top it OE M.G. and crown. A crown and two stars adorn his right arm, after astounding us by coming first in his second class year. As a result of his efforts he was class senior at Various times during his first three years at the College. His sponsoring of long walks on Sunday after- noons in the Barriefield-Gananoque vicinity, his unfailing support of the Seniors versus Staff hockey games, and his prominence in winter sports are items worthy of notice. He is a noted authority on Switzerland and Swiss schools, es- pecially of the finishing type. Last summer he witnessed how dictators did it while touring Europe on a motorcycle and sidecar. With specialization this year Chip became the daddy of the three chemistry specialists, work- ing in the Chemistry laboratory when not forced to flee by the CiVils and their sewage. . The Montreal Gunners await, in Chip, a new Junior subaltern and Chemical Engineering is an open field for him. We hope he does as well in his chosen field as he has done at the College. M. C. S. B. 24 R. M. C. REVIEW 2424, C.S.M. GEORGE HYLTON SPENCER. Born, Seaford, Sussex, England, November 20th, 1916. School: Jarvis Collegiate, Toronto. George came to R.M.C. on a Leonard Founda- tion Scholarship and has maintained a high stand- ing during his four years at the College. He spent a very successful recruit year in A Coy. where he learned a convenient habit of always being asleep after lights out. He moved over to a life of luxury on the other side of the square for two years but returned to the Frigate this 1 year and his successful guidance of B Coy. is evidence of his leadership. Majerk, or Clark Gable as he is called, was a member of the Junior Hockey team for two years and for the last two years has been a valuable member of the senior team. As a sailor, he has no peer in the Intercolle- giate and mainly due to his skill the College cap- tured the first Intercollegiate Sailing meet. A member of the Junior Rugby team in his recruit year, George would probably have been a first team rugby player but for an injured shoulder which kept him from playing his last three years at the College. On graduation George is taking up the Army life and is joining the R.C.E.'s. Next year will find him at Queen's and if the bright lights of Kingston don't get him there is no doubt he will continue at the top. The very best luck, George. J. N. R. 2402, C.S.M. ROBERT KENNETH MACKENZIE. Born, Kincardine, Ont., December 10th, 1916. Schools: Ridley College, Owen Sound Colle- giate. Bob flashed his big, slow smile on seven gold- braided individuals that great day in September, 1934, and promptly lost it for six months. Even though his smile went, his extreme good nature and even temper could never leave him. They have stayed with him over our whole four years and have helped us over many bad moments. The Frowst's meagre six foot three have always been a great help to the rugby team and as a sixty-minute man, he has played in every game from his recruit year on. The least we can say of him is that he never let the team down. He learned his gymnastics at Ridley and has excelled in them since his arrival. He has stayed with F Company for four years and has shown an active interest in his company's sports. Bob was content to slip along with the rest of , us for the first two years and it was not until February of our second class year that he was made class senior. He showed then his good judgment and strong character and was awarded . a lance-corporal's stripe at Easter. 1 As for the future, Bob is not quite decided. 9 However, next year will more than likely see him at Queen's in civil or mining.

School: Kingston Collegiate Institute. It is rumoured that when B first saw the light of day in Tillsonburg, he was wearing a pair of rugby cleats. B started travelling early in life and finally arrived in Kingston at the ten- der age of one. In spite of the fact that he had observed R.M.C. from the outside for several years B was on hand to venture to peek inside with the rest of us in the fall of '34, An athlete of prime ability The Big Cadet has culminated four brilliant years as a halfback on the First Rugby Team by captaining this year's squad. That his athletic endeavours are not confined to the gridiron is borne out by three years on the First Basketball Team and a very active interest in inter-company sports. In the latter field A Company has relied on Sandy for four years to provide that extra punch to hockey and soccer teams. B's cautions and tactful handling of A Company's problem children have shown him to be a diplomat of no mean calibre. Equipped with a cheerful disposition and an uncanny ability to Worry through We feel that B's success is assured. Queen's are claiming him next near and wherever the future finds him he will carry our best wishes, so here's to you BE H S 2374, C.S.M. MALCOLM CORSAN SUTHERLAND BROWN. Born, Wimbledon, England, November 14th, 1917. School: University School, Victoria, University of B.C. Motherland Soggs arrived at the College with the rest of us on that sunny day in August. Hail- ing from Victoria he was very anxious to find out what the Well dressed recruit should Wear and We must admit he did not take long to learn. With this headstart it is no Wonder he has made so many visits to the dear city of Kingston. Educated in such a British atmosphere it was not surprising that Malcolm should apply himself fervently to the game of soccer. His unfailing support of this sport is Well appreciated especially the fine work as its Captain in guiding the team this year. Nor has he neglected the other sports, playing on the Second Basketball Team last year and taking an active part in all inter-company sports. His prowess in Artillery has won him crossed guns and layer's badge, his marksman- ship machine gun badge, rifle and crown, and fine Work in the riding school crossed whips and spur. All these testify to his capabilities in almost every type of endeavour. Besides these many activities he has not neglected his studies and has constantly maintained a position in the first third of the class. His characteristics as a leader have guided E Coy. successfully through the current year. He intends entering the R.C.E. and spent last summer training With this unit. If the reports We get are in any way authentic his success in this field is secure. Best of luck to you, Malcolm. S. D. C. WWW R. M. C. REVIEW 2395, C.S.M. WILLIAM ANDERSON JOYCE. Born, Winnipeg, March 12th, 1916. School: Appleby. Born and bred in the Golden West, Bill came to us with plenty to boast about - and funnily enough, after 4 years at R.M.C. he still manages to suggest the fact. He has always had the abil- ity to be a leader. After a very outstanding and remarkable career at Appleby School in Oakville, where he was head boy, he entered RM.C. and was soon to take over the coveted task as class senior - a post which he held 0E and on through- out the rest of the year. His recruit year saw him in a good many outstanding sporting activi- ties - and his four years are evidence of the keen interest he has taken in College activities ever since. An enthusiastic boxer, he was run- ner-up for two championships. He was awarded crossed clubs after his recruit year, and the fol- lowing year added two more distinction badges, namely crossed rifles and guns. He became cap- tain of the Second Rugby Team in his 3rd class year, and since then has added to his laurels by playing Senior Rugby and Hockey. He ranks as one of the best squash players in the College and plays an extremely fine game of tennis. A cham- pionship in canoe doubles ranks among his aqua- tic achievements. Last year he became a Second Class N.C.O. In the academic line Bill has always been well up in the first dozen. He has a natural flare for engineering and intends to pursue that fascinating study at Queen's next year. You've done an extremely good job, Bill, and we all wish you every success. R. K. M. 2376, C.S.M. STANLEY DESMOND CLARKE Born, Quebec, December 18th, 1917. School: Loyola High School. Stan has the distinction of being the youngest member of our class. Although there is no record of the date on which he first spoke it must have been early and he is still go-- ing strong as a talker. Being of Irish-French parentage this is easily explained and at class parties he is often seen surrounded by a bevy of the fair sex trying to find out what he is talking about. In contradiction to the above, Stan was rather quiet at the first of his recruit year, but after finding his feet in inter-company sports, squash and gymnastics, he has added much to the athletic standard of D Coy. where he has spent all his four years. In spite of those who would miss early church and those who would steal thumb-tacks from his notice board he has led his company through a very successful year as their C.S.M. Rifles, whips, clubs and swords pay tri- bute to his ability as a riiie shot, rider and gym- nast and his academic standing has kept an easy pace with his other activities, producing a good all round cadet. In addition to his success at the College Stan has spent the last three summers with the Royal Canadian Navy where his record is also the very best. His interests are in the field of mechanical engineering and we expect all kinds of success for him in Clark Steamships, and all join in wishing him a hearty bon vciyiagi-T. D. . . JUNE, 1938 2392, SGT. DONALD MORISON HOLMAN. Born, Pittsburg, Pa., February 15th, 1916. School: U.T.S., Toronto. Duck migrated from San Francisco to To- ronto whence he came to College. Here his every undertaking has been successful. As a recruit in A Coy. he quickly adapted himself to the rou- tine life and weathered his first year with ease. Don is senior sergeant and stands among the first few of the class. One of the best gymnasts, his skill has gained him crossed swords. Crossed guns also adorn his arm. This year he nursed the Senior Rugby team. Duck has his commer- cial pilot's license. Last year he distinguished himself by coming 4th in the Webster Trophy Competition. Duck is planning to take a course in Engineering Physics at Varsity with a view to an aeronautical engineering profession. We feel certain that Duck will enjoy a very success- ful future and our best wishes go with him. Happy landings, Don. J. R. H. K. 2397, SGT. JAMES RALPH HILBORN KIRKPATRICK. Born, December 26th, 1916. School: Central High, London, Ont. Kirk had lived in almost every part of Canada before he arrived here. His travels must have given him a good start, for he has taken a prominent part in everything that has happened during these four years. For three years he be- longed to A Coy., but this year E Coy. has been his home. His sports activities have in- cluded three years on the lst Basketball Team, three years on the 2nd Rugby Team, and a Tennis trip. The climax of his boxing career occurred last year when he fought first the middleweight and then the heavyweight finals in one night. He won both. Jimmy has always stood very near the top of the class academically. Besides his team crests he wears crossed guns. Kirk has always had a yen for the sea, which he has satisfied each Summer doing Naval training at Halifax. He is headed for mining. Our best wishEs,1iIir?Iniie! 2393, SGT. ERNEST RAY HYMAN. Born, Winnipeg, Man., August 7th, 1915. School: St. John's College School, U. of M. Herky gained his earlier schooling not only at St. John's College School but also at the Uni- versity of Manitoba from which he received his B.Sc. Looking for new fields to conquer he en- tered R.M.C. in 1934 and made his presence felt in the class by standing first. 1935 found him standing third and sporting crossed rifles. In his second class year Ray achieved the prominent rnk of lance-corporal and ended the year with crossed guns and crown and taking second posi- tion in his academics. This quiet, unassuming lad decided to specialize in civil engineering in his last year and he has proved his aptitude and ability for his selection. He spent his summers at Halifax with the Royal Canadian Navy. Next year he is going to honour M.I.T. with his pres- ence and we feel certain that he will repeat the success he has earned here.

We first got to know Joe in September, 1934, when his smiles and songs did much to smooth the strenuous routine of Infantry, P.T., Weapon Training and Infantry. Although he tangled with Old Man Exams at the end of his recruit year, Steve's athletic accomplishments have been out- standing, to mention that he won the Tommy Smart Cup in his third class year, has been twice winner of the Rainnie Bugle, wears four Lafferty Cup badges and has been a member of the First Football, Basketball, Track and Soccer teams might almost seem sufficient, but who can forget his howls and his helmet in inter-company hockey, his boxing and his squash? Crossed whips, spur and crossed swords are mute reminders of Joe's further achievements. John has decided to stay with the Service, and if personality, ability and the best wishes of the Class mean anything, his success with the R.C.A.F. is assured.H Z P 2427, SGT. HAMILTON ZOUCH PALMER. Born, Ottawa, July 27th, 1915. School: Pickering. Zouch, the nth of a long line of Zouch Pal- mers, came gliding into the world on a gramo- phone record, a hockey stick in one hand and a bandage on the other. Although late in arriving Zouch soon brightened D Coy. with his weak- ness for swing music. He concluded successfully four years of first team hockey by captaining the 1937-38 team. iAny doubters, please see Pic .D Even though an injured wrist only allowed him to play one year of Senior rugby, he represented his company in most of the sports. His crossed whips and spur on his left arm show that he is just as much as home on a horse as he is on the ice. Zouch intends to take up radiog it is too bad that television is not far enough advanced to give us that famous Palmer smile and blush. Perhaps he will do that little thing for us. Here's lots of luck to you, Zouch. D. J. L. 2400, SGT. DUNN JACQUES LANTIER. Born, Quebec City, P.Q., May 6th, 1916. Educated: Selwyn House and Lower Canada College. Since the day he first raised his gaze to the sky of Quebec, Dunn has had his chin well up and in this way he took his early schooling on the run, developing a fine taste for gymnastics. Even fatigue clothing failed to hide his fine physique and training so Dunn bossed D Coy. most of our recruit year. Having the true Frenchman's love of finery, Dunn has accrued much gold braid in the form of machine gun layers, crossed rifles, swords and clubs and further showed his all- round ability by playing in every inter-company sport, and managing the hockey team this year, even at West Point. His gym work has always been tops. Being blessed with the ability to add and subtract in French, Dunn intends to be a bi- lingual engineer and design Plate Girders in French. Good luck with your bilingual rivet spacing, Dunn, old man. H. L. F. JUNE, 1938 2386, SGT. HENRY LECKIE FORSYTH. Born, Folkestone, England, June 4th, 1916. School: Harboard Collegiate Institute, Toronto. Hank breezed into Kingston in August, 1934, with a mania for firearms and quite prepared to take the R.M.C. by storm - and he really did. He liked College life from the beginning, the tougher it was the better it suited him. He has been on the Harrier team every year and has al- ways been an outstanding man on the rifle and revolver teams. This year he wears the badge for being the best shot in R.M.C. and Sandhurnst. Hank's third class year found him building snip- er's posts on the common and shooting rabbits. The West Point week-end was the biggest worry in his second class year. Camp Borden and The R.C.R.'s occupied his summers of '36 and 'Z-37. He is going to join the R.E. on graduation. Keep up the old fight, Harry, and you'll go on forever. 2407, SGT. WILLIAM WALTER KNIGHT MCCONNELL. Born, Toronto, Unt., June 8th, 1916. School: Harboard Collegiate, Toronto. Wild Bill soon came to the fore in our re- cruit year with his voice and his excellent rendi- tion of a beautiful hymn. Bill also had a disas- trous encounter, one morning about reveille, with one, Terry Martin, much to the annoyance of the remainder of D Coy. In his third class year, Bill developed into quite a horseman. Being a clever type of chap, he could always be depended upon to give a helping hand to those who were having scuffles with the academic course. Back- flip Bill gained his reward in our second class year when he was made a class senior, and we must say, he did a good job of it. He spent a summer with the Signals at Camp Borden - fine spot - and another with the R.C.R. at Niagara- on-the-Lake - fine spot. In spite of this, Bill decided that the R.C.E. was his calling. The class joins me in wishing Bill all success. R. E. T. 2425, SGT. ROBERT EDWARD THOMPSTONE. Born, Guelph, Ont., March 14, 1916. Schools: England, Guelph High School. Tim arrived at the College with the rest of us and soon gained his nickname of Click- Click. However, in the succeeding years, we were to find that it was totally undeserved. Al- though born in Guelph, Click spent his tender years in India and England. In his recruit year he was able to gain crossed clubs as a token of his prowess in the gym. In the past four years he has fought for the glory of C Coy. in all of the inter-company sports. He spent three very successful years Kas he will certifyj at Camp Borden with the Signals. In his second class year he was chiefly occupied with the Fri- gate and running errands as junior manager of the basketball team. This year he still runs the Frigate and he did a line job of managing the basketball team. Click hopes to enter the R.C.E. this year and he will carry the best wishes of the class with him. J. A. M.

Maurice arrived at the College with the doubt- ful disadvantage of being unable to speak Eng- lish and his expression don't understand echoed the halls of B Coy. However, he was appointed half-class senior early in October and by necessity soon picked up our language. In spite of this handicap he has always managed to stand well in the class and even to take time out to write D.L.S. examinations. He has always taken a keen interest in company hockey, soccer and bas- ketball and shows a neat form on the college parallel bar team. Maurice has chosen mining for his career and intends to take a position in Teck Hughes mines this summer. The best wishes of the whole class are with him for Iris Eiccgess. 2384, SGT. WILLIAM HENRY ELLIS. Born, St. Thomas, Ont., June 18th, 1915. School: St. Thomas Collegiate Institute. Wimp made a grand entry into his recruit year by knocking on his own door, but his ac- complishments since have well knocked out even the peeling laughter over an orange that went out of a train window en route to Petawawa. Playing Junior Basketball for the first two years he battled on to the Senior team for the next two seasons. Being too busy while a recruit Wil- liam Henry did not at first play football, but bucked right into the Senior line for the last two years. His speed on the track put him easily on the famous cross-country team against the R.C. H.A. Entering all inter-company games Wimpy has shown himself to be no loafer. But he al- ways really preferred electricity to pleasure QU and so to Camp Borden for three summers. To the lucky Royal Canadian Corps of Signals he Vows allegiance. The very best of good fortune, Wimp, and we all hope the Sigs will treat you powerfully well. R. 0. S. 2421, SGT. RICHARD OSWALD SHAW. Born, Victoria, B.C., July 11th, 1915. A Schools: Oak Bay High School, U.B.C. Dick arrived with the rest of us in the fall of 1934 and proceeded to settle down to see that government funds should not be wasted if he could help it. He has made good use of his time as his achievements will bear witness. He has been on the track and harrier teams for two years, won his layer's badge after several sum- mers with the N.P. Artillery, and capped it off last year by winning the shield for the best revolver shot. In addition, Goo-Goo was a ter- ror in all inter-company sports and found little trouble in worming his 6' 4 of length through the opposing side's line in rugby. Our Little John received some hard knocks from Robin Hood last year but he has now fully recovered and his smile and dry chuckle will take him to many happy landings in the R.C.A.F., where we are sure that he will see that the books are kept right. Best of luck, Dick, in everfytlgngigychi do. JUNE, 1938 A 2404, CPL. EDWARD DESMOND BOYD MAGEE. Born, Toronto, December 9th, 1916. Schools: Radley College, England, T.C.S. Maggie first saw the light of day in the Queen City and moved across the big pond for his elementary schooling, completing his prep. school work in Canada. Last fall Des showed the boys how to fire a machine gun and was rewarded with a machine gunner's badge. He is no mean soccer player, having picked up the inside stuff in England. Last year he was manager of the team and guided them through to the Inter- collegiate Championship. His work in the class- room is a mystery to many people but he has the knack of doing a great deal in the shortest space of time and as a result is well among the leaders of the class. Maggie intends to join the R.C.E., going to Queen's next year to get his degree. The class wish him the best of success but we feel it is hardly necessary. G. W. C. L. 2388, CPL. WILLIAM FRANCIS HADLEY. Born, Ottawa, July 31st, 1917. School: Ashbury. Puffing Bill, the Blimp, was undoubtedly the forerunner of Hfioating power, for since his birth he has sailed and floated through life. Like all gentlemen of his physical development Bill is good natured, good humoured and generous. Na- ture, however, gave him an unusual brain which he has used exceedingly well, having a crown and star on his right arm and both layer's and crossed guns badges on his left. He has made a name for himself in inter-company football, standing forth as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. This year he also played as twelfth man on the Cham- pionship Soccer Team. Bill is going next year to McGill to study for Quebec Law, in which we know that he can't help but be a success. A. P. McL. 2408, CPL. ANTHONY PATRICK McLAUGHLIN. Born, Khoubeh Les Bains, Egypt, February 17th, 1916. Schools: Duncan High School, U.B.C. Anthony Patrick first saw the light of day in Egypt. He spent his extreme youth in India and England and later in B.C. Tony distinguished him- self in his recruit year by making the soccer team and winning the Welterweight boxing. The Thor'bred's prowess in the riding school and gun shed won for him his whips and spur and the layer's badge and crown. This year he was made captain of Soccer but unfortunately for the team he was unable to play on account of an injury. He has always been outstanding in inter-company sports and has taken an active part in all of them. Tony is returning to India to follow the family profession of soldiering. If his Irish char- acteristics of geniality and sense of humour mean anything in this world Tony ought to go a long wa y. W. L. R. 32 R. M. C. REVIEW ' 2415, CPL. WILLIAM LAWTON RIDOUT. Born, Bromley, England, May 3rd, 1916. Schools: Upper Canada College. It is hard to convey an adequate impression of Tiger in these few lines: but to touch on a . few highlights: during the past four years Bill I has shone in such sports as first team soccer, which this year won the Intercollegiate Cham- pionship for the first time in College history, and in inter-company rugby, aquatics, track and sail- ing. His outstanding work in the gym earned him his crossed clubs in his third class year and the knowledge gained with the Artillery at Peta- wawa brought him his crossed guns at the end of his second class year. Bill chose the General and Military Course for his final year which should prove a very fine foundation for one who intends to take up the Army life. On graduation Tiger is going into the Indian Army and hopes to be attached to a Ghurka Regiment where we all feel sure that his ability and well-known energy will carry him far. Best of luck, Tiger, A. R. L. McN. 2396, CPL. ARTHUR GORDON KENYON. Born, Westboro, Ont., July 27th, 1915. School: Nepean High School, Ottawa. Ever since that unforgettable day in August, '34, Art's unfailing ability to pass exams with the least amount of work has been the envy of the whole class. Perhaps the main reason for his success can be attributed to the great amount of sleep he gets, both in and out of classes -- mostly in! A great athlete Sleepy played first team rugby the past two years and is also on the track team. His jumping ability has won him many firsts both here and also at Montreal. The bil- liard room trembles on Art's entry. In addition, Art is a gymnast of note, plays most inter-com- pany sports and has proven himself very valuable to his company in this respect. His good-nature and unfailing smile are sure to carry him to even greater success in the R.C.A.F. and we all wish him the best of luck and happy landings. W. A. D. 2381, CPL. WILLIAM ALEC DEROCI-IE. Born, Ottawa, February 26th, 1915. School: Lisgar Collegiate Institute. Sandy, Al, or Lic appeared at the Col- lege in the autumn of '34, with curly hair and the will to fool anybody he could. Contrary to the popular adage he succeeded in fooling all of the people most of the time. Shortly after Christ- mas his prowess in Flat Shows became known and served well in the usual mad scramble for talent at Cake Walk practices. Alec has taken part in all inter-company sports and is also an enthusiastic squash and billiard player. This year he was a representative of the College at Toronto in the intercollegiate squash tournament. The l chemical option was his choice, consequently , chemistry has engaged his attention during the major part of his leisure time. After graduation l he intends to study for a degree in chemical en- gineering. A. G. K. JUNE, 1 938 24101, CPL. ANDREW ROBERT LESLIE MCNAUGHTON. Born, Shelford, England, July 21st, 1916. Schools: University School, Victoria, Loyola. Andy has earned himself a great reputation at the College for being our class lawyer or rather iixer for those unfortunate members of our class who are continually getting into scrapes, and it is this trait that has earned him the name of Alibi Andy. Inter-company rugby and hockey have always been his pet sports. He is also a keen sailor and managed to wangle more sailing week- ends in his senior year than anyone else in the class. Andrew is one of the three cadets who have obtained their Private Pilot's License while at College, he is an ardent fiyer and intends to go on and get his Commercial License after gra- duation. Andy's intentions at present are to enter the General Electric in which occupation he should have great success. D. N. D. D-F. 2380, CPL. DESMOND NUTSON DOUGLAS DEANE-FREEMAN Born, Calgary, Alberta, March 26th, 1916. Schools: Vernon Prep. School, Banff H.S. We strongly suspect that Des was born with one foot in the stirrup and a hand on the reins because in his third class year he posi- tively amazed us with his marvellous ability to ride while the remainder of us were at fever pitch attempting to manage our steeds. His ability was not overlooked and he emerged at the end of the year with crossed whips and crown. At the end of our second class year, he added a spur and crown to his laurels to say nothing of a layer's badge. In the winters he directed his energy into squash and badminton channels and of both he was elected captain. At the favourite indoor pastime of billiards, Des has a never-fail- ing eye and well earned the appointment of billiard representative. Upon graduation, Des intends taking a commission in the L.S.H. CR.C.J. Good luck, Des. H- L. K. M' 2406, CPL. HARVEY LIBBY KING MASON. Born, Orillia, February 26th, 1915. School: Orillia Collegiate Institute. After matriculating at Orillia Collegiate In- stitute, King arrived here with the rest of us on that hot Sunday in August. Always a keen shot, he was awarded crossed rifles in his third class year. As a golfer de luxe, he spends most of his summer at that game and this year cap- tained the college golf team. Besides being an excellent golfer, King is no slouch on the bas- ketball Hoor, playing inter-company basketball during his whole four years. King is an excellent man on the mat, and has always been on the groundwork squad in any P.T. display. Since his arrival here he has distinguished himself by his uncanny knowledge of motors, and spent last summer at Petawawa with the O.M.E. King expects to join that unit on graduation and we feel that his natural ability will lead Fto Eugcess. R. M. C. REVIEW 2420, CPL. FREDERICK RALPH SHARP. Born, Moosomin, Sask., December 28th, 1915. School: Moosomin Collegiate Institute. In 1934 Porky decided to give up the fur trade and come to civilization and the R.M.C. It was not until Christmas of his recruit year that he earned his sobriquet when he returned from leave some twenty-five pounds to the good. His sense of humour has remained unimpaired, and has without doubt helped him during his term at the College. Inter-company sports have profited from his ability to play well in each field as it arrives. Fred spent his summers with the Infan- try and the Artillery but seems to have lost in- terest in these branches. This year he has been heading towards a degree in electrical engineer- ing, but has changed his mind again and plans to fly with the R.C.A.F. We all sincerely wish him the best of weather and happy landings. G. H. H. 2326, CORPORAL GORDON HUDSON HALL. Born, Peterborough, Ont., February 10th, 1915. School: Peterborough Collegiate Institute. Hud became a member of the class in Sep- tember, 1936, after a slight miscalculation on the part of certain members of the Senior Staff. Thereupon, he proceeded to do more than justice to his various studies, ending his College career by going the whole hog, in the shape of the Electrical Course. A mainstay of the track team, he is even more noted for his mastery of the horizontal bar, box horse and other instruments of torture in the gym, where his exploits have long been sources of wonder to the less well co- ordinated members of the class. The P.T. depart- ment have shown their appreciation of his efforts by awarding him his crossed swords badge, which he proudly displays while on leave to the delight of the inhabitants of his native Peterborough. On graduation, he goes to Queen's to complete his course, accompanied, he may rest assured, by the best wishes of his class. A. H. G. 2387, CPL. ARTHUR HAINES GREENIDGE. Born, Montreal, February 2nd, 1915. School: West Hill High School. The shrill scream of ships' sirens fexcuse the alliterationJ must have heralded our Gunboat into this world. He thinks, dreams and lives in an atmosphere of the sea. However, being very large hearted, he is willing to plead extenuating circumstances for the landlubbers and decided to spend his first three years in the secluded life of B Coy., that hotbed of genius and outstanding personality. In spite of having to spend his sen- ior year on the other side of the square, Art has figured prominently in all company sports and this year won the canoe doubles. He has spent the summers with the Navy at Halifax but is renouncing his first love for Chemical Engineer- ing at McGill next year. Wherever one runs across ships and jam sessions together, one may run across our unexploded Art. The Navy's loss is McGill's gain and Art's ship is sure to come in. E. D. B- M- JUNE, 1938 2398, G.C. GEORGE WILLIAM CHARLES LAKE. Born, Toronto, January lst, 1917. School: Kingston Collegiate Institute. George, our philosopher, poet and wit, arrived as a New Year's present to his family in Toronto and has since travelled to and fro across Canada as the P.F. has a habit of dictating. He has always taken an interest in company sports and when not trying- to escape his friend Bozo, has found time to win his crossed rifles and guns. Geo. has spent all his summer leaves with the Signals at Camp Borden and has become an authority on the fauna and flora of the surrounding countryside. Provided that he eludes the civil powers before graduation, George intends to enter the explosive branch of the R.C.O.C.: so that if some day we hear of an arsenal blowing up, we can sit back and sav with justifiable pride: That's Geo. Lake, folks! We know that the future holds great things for you. E. D. B. M. 2323, G.C. DUNCAN NYCANDER FRASER. Born, Minatores Lima, Peru, September 25th, 1915. School: King's Collegiate, Windso1', N.S. Does anybody know of anybody missing? Is 'Dune' here? Dunc entered college in September, '33, but after his third class year, he decided that a five- year plan was not good enough for a Peruvian, so he started a new six-year plan: one to get in and five to get out. In the five years he has been here, Dunc has pulled his weight right along in all inter-company sports and has proved himself a very good rider: but, the caba- lero is strongly against those 6 a.m. rides across the square. Amigo Arturo has two great ambi- tions: he wants to become a ten-goal polo player and some day to become the president of Peru or a waste-paper basket manufacturer. What- ever you do, Dunc, we all wish you the greatest of success. J G A L J 2394, G.C. JOSEPH GASTON AUREL LEBE-AU JARRY. Born, Montreal, January 11th, 1916. Schools: Mount Assumption Institute, Platts- burghg Fyen's School, Montreal. Aurel arrived at the College with the remain- der of the class of '38 on that memorable day in September, 1934. He made his home on the bot- tom flat of the Stone Frigate for the first three years. Not liking the cold winters there, Vif migrated to the warmer climate of Fort Frederick Dormitory, on the top flat. During the first three years Aurel has taken keen interest in all the inter-company sports as well as tennis, squash and badminton. In his last year at the College Vif had made the track team where he showed us his ability as an athlete. At present he is tak- ing Civil Engineering and on graduation he is going to McGill to study and see if he will be able to build a Floating Bridge from Halifax to Liverpool. Good luck, 4'Vif. Y. M.

The first thing that happened to Mitch was the loss of his proper name for the aforemen- tioned nickname Which has of course stuck to him ever since the first day the Class of '38 came into existence. Mitch has been one of the proud members of C Coy. ever since we arrived. A recruit year spent next to the B.S.M. and in the same room as Freddy Sharp provided him with a start which kept him out of trouble for the remaining three years. Numerous friends in Kingston, mostly female, have kept the College from becoming too much of a bore. Strenuous participation in every form of inter-company sport has kept Mitch in shape - almost. The R.C.A.F. is his future, the only obstacle being fif- teen pounds overweight which we understand is slowly disappearing. The best of luck in the future Mitch and may you ride to glory on a cloud.

And when the fog of war cleared there we were lined up on the square with our faith in humanity shattered, fifty per cent. of our normal crop of hair missing, and a future that made life in Sing-Sing seem very attractive by comparison. However, the best cure for that feeling is work and, large doses being administered very shortly, we were soon burning around in fatigues and popping into each other's rooms in search of elusive room plans. The next shock came in the form of Standatasya- war. and sundry soul searing utterances by that king of R.S.M's. Jake Wyatt, and gradually we all turned up on parade to watch Joyce do his twenty-seven paces sideways march, till that great day when there was not one single bolt forgotten. No, not a man without his bolt, but wait, where was Nooky? All heads turned as there came a voice as of one crying in the wilderness fi.e. The Frigateb, and across the square there rolled the plaintive call, Sergeant-Major Wyatt, Permission to say I'm locked in my room. So passed the lazy autumn days and leave was just around the corner and we soon found out that there was an ex-cadet around every corner, too. Scotland Yard could well have taken lessons from those boys. On our return, after scandalising the family by cutting the butter into four squares and proving for more potatoes, we found our most secret sins were fast becoming the subject of scathing monologues by the Seven Pil- lars of Wisdom in the lower lecture room. But as usual these trials slid by blending with the Christmas exams, one evil belittling the other, and before long we were on the train with sweet music still ringing in our ears. Bright lights, bright eyes, and then the awful journey back. And the fewer memories of the winter term the better. We paid for our fun in those days. But through the gloom of dark winter evenings shines the vision of Wimpy knocking at his own door, of Puffy mistaking the coal shoot for the side door on a dark night, and of Billy McConnell having a lids off with Terry Martin before reveille. Sweet, sweet memories. Then came the advent of those smiling lads in the U.S.M.A. uniforms and three days of super-snapping it all over the College. March winds were soon blowing and so were the Lance-Jacks and we were as reeds in the wind. How glad we were when the final block crashed down to give us a brief respite from these cruel overlords. Then for the first time we began to appreciate the lovable traits of our own dear seniors. Could it be that they were going soft at the prospect of leaving? Well, we would- n't weep for the scoundrels. Reseaux de fil de fer. Barbed wire. Them is fighting words to our class in any language. Raise, strike, break, rake, etc. If them was real bullets popping y'u'd keep your bloody heads down? The thing you must get is the Infantry Spirit. Pay attention this tent line reveille will be at 0400 hrs. tomorrow. Sand, and bugs, and Bugs and BUGS. Pint cups of scalding tea. Icy water and tough beards. Songs and sweat. Boiling out rifles. Pickets. All mixed in a welter of new excitement, and then lazy journey home with our annual free meal. X JUNE, 1938 39 Final fatigues over and the dreaded scramble at the notice board and the surging delight in those who sneaked by with no sups. Collins Bay, and a moon. Copper Sunday, and a moon. Then Auld Lang Syne and the best bunch of hardhearted brutes that it has been our privilege to meet marched OE the square, while all our firm resolves dissolved in moist eyes under our white helmets. June Ball, and as I live, two moons. Mid- night: we walked the square: and away with sorrow till the dawn. Clean up. A hazy mist of brooms and boxes. Crawling into the cool sheets for the last time. And down the hall the subdued voice of an ex- LfCpl. Will some third classman please bring me a match ? -H. L. F. THIRD CLASS YEAR This was the year that we had all looked forward to ever since we had entered the College twelve months before. We were now third class- men and that meant no more recruiting, and in a sense no more worries as is well indicated in most of the pictures on the opposite page. The top right hand and the bottom left hand snaps are typical warfare scenes, each day beginning with the following words, Now, today, we have Northland carrying out an attack on Southland, the object of this scheme . . . . , by this time most of us have become engrossed in something else, such as watching the cars go by if we are near a highway as some are doing in the lower left hand picture. The top right hand picture is a typical example of the vanguard being held up by enemy fire and the main body of troops fthose shown in picturel being told to break off and take to cover - from all appearances the order has been mistaken for break oi for lunch. The hermit sitting in the background is none other than Alibi Andy who is probably figuring out how he can become a casualty in the quickest and easiest method. And in such ways our fall term passed by with the maximum amount of enjoyment to all. The sad note of our third class year came with the death of our King on January 20th, the centre picture overleaf was taken on the day of the King's burial, and shows the battalion resting on their arms reversedv while the salute of 21 guns was being fired. It was a tremendously im- pressive parade, one that left lasting memories with anyone that saw it. The winter of 1935-36 was to our great relief, much milder than the previous one, this always means a great deal to those who live in the Stone Frigate. That winter the snow lay heavily enough on the ground so that we were able to have a winter sports day, the main attraction being ski-joring races behind horses, in which Dunc. Fraser decided his horse was too slow, or was it that the horse thought Dunc was too heavy, anyway they parted company. In the skiing events Chip Drury showed us that his reputation as a skier was by no means false, for he either won or placed in every one he entered. In the spring we learnt how the R.E. build their bridges, in the bot- tom right hand picture opposite is a raft we constructed, and Major Russell showed great faith in our ability by putting his car on it and taking it across the bay and back, much to our surprise the raft stood the strain and a car salvaging party was not necessary. The top left hand snap shows Major Agnew in a typical tactical pose during one of our outdoor schemes. He came to the College as officer in charge of the Artillery Department, in 1934, when we were recruits, and JUNE, 1938 41 throughout our four years he has been our friend and guide, helping us through many trials and tribulations in our recruit year with kind words and a cheering smile. We were all deeply sorry to see him leave last month for Winnipeg where he will now be stationed. Before he left our class unanimously voted him to be an honorary member of the class of '38, and we visited him en masse the Sunday before he left to wish him, Mrs. Agnew and the children, the best out in Winnipeg. He spoke a few words to us and said that his home in Winnipeg would be open-house to our class if any of us should be passing through there at any time. -D. N. D. D. F. SECOND CLASS YEAR Our second class year was one of changes from the very start. Per- haps the most indicative one was that we appeared on Roll Call for the first time wearing dressing growns, but right and left there were new things going on. The new Mess was a thing of shining beauty but it left a gap never to be filled in many hearts. No longer did the enraged cry of some unfortunate senior on the receiving end of a submarining expedi- tion delight our ears. Not only this but the inspiring presence of an orderly officer at every meal made it almost ibut not quitel an impossi- bility to remove anything but fruit from the mess. One of the most unsatisfactory changes was the addition of one more Lab. report a week and the increasing number of formulae to be remembered. Over-burdened with work in the fall and bowed down with the respon- sibilities of Boat Orderly, etc., we were only too glad to repair to the capital city where under the mothering care of Donny and Bud every one was present for the P.T. display, but afterwards - Oh, my! 1. Re- turning from this, much back work was caught up with in view of the approaching exams. Holding the Xmas Dance in the New Gym presented many difficulties in the location of sitting-out places, but love will find a way - ask Big Mac! Before we were fully aware that leave had commenced it was finished and we were back wiping dust off recruits' tables. The long months dragged by till there appeared on the horizon the sunny prospect of the West Point week-end. Arrangements for such went ahead, TILL - that super-sleuth, Sherlock, forwarded via the B.S.M. a list of orders for sun- dry stimulants, obviously intended to ward off the approaching 'flu epi- demic. Nothing daunted a good time was had by all feven those in the hospitall - but there were exceptions. Shortly after this a great period of super-snapping by the recruits took place following the appearance of twelve shiny new stripes - six Lance Corporals. With the greatest of glee we gaped in admiration at the eloquence of one Chipman H. Drury as he redirected the steps of wayward recruits, little realising that he was just warming up for future sessions in the N.C.O. Room. The next important event was the Military Tattoo held in Hamilton. Every man from Robin Hood to Little John was royally entertained. Hamilton is well named the progressive city. Returning, just alive, scarcely able to breathe, we were rudely roused from our beds in the middle of the night by the banshee scream of the fire alarm. With hope in our hearts we dashed down to the square expecting to see the S.P.'s oflice plus final exams dissolving in smoke, but alas, it was just an errant cigarette butt. The event proved to be quite dull and uninteresting. JUNE, 1938 43 Four days later we had the rare privilege of marching down-town with the Girl Guides to fire a Phooey to Joey commemorating the Coronation. Then came the Final Block, the less said the better. Petawawa and its night scheme, where we were given the unusual opportunity of studying the home-life of the mosquito, kept us occupied for the better part of a week and we arrived back at the College with peeling noses and frayed tempers. Fatigues having been completed, Col- lins Bay became the centre of festivities for a few fleeting hours followed by the joys of Sunday picnics. June Ball Night, at Twelve o'clock, the crushing weight of a senior's responsibility fell upon our shoulders with the impact of a falling feather. Came the dawn and we justified this responsibility by cleaning up the debris twenty-four hours ahead of time, thereby saving one hundred and fifty times twenty-four man hours of Labour. FIRST CLASS YEAR Time marches on. Three years have slipped by, slowly perhaps from day to day, yet swiftly in retrospect. And throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion, individuals, important individuals, the Seniors of 167-38, look forward with anticipation to what lies ahead. And they wonder about what does lie ahead, stripes, specialization, and lastly, but most importantly, the Recruits. What kind of a bunch will they be any- way? How will they be rounded into shape by the few who went back early? How wil-l they compare with those of other years when the Col- lege returns? What do they look like in civies? And so, with apologies for repeating our procedure of the first page, and to show what it really was like, we print a picture of a line of civilian-clad troops, a picture of what only a few of us had the privilege of seeing, yet a picture of some- thing about which, at some time or another, all of us wondered. Hundreds of similar photographs exist, yet this one for us has a special significance - Our Recruits. And so it is printed, that in some small way it will be preserved for posterity. The days merge into weeks. Across the page our photographic re- porter has shown that the outdoor exercises go on as usual with the exception that rifles are left at home and Vickers are the order of the day. Two-gun Hank, complete with fatigues, Sou'-Wester and rubber boots, directs operations and revels in the sharp staccato bark of the M. G.s and the smell of burnt-out cordite. A brand new General Staff at- tempts in vain to lead the forces of Westland to victory in the sixty-eighth year of fighting, no hits, no runs and plenty of errors. A bridge is plan- ned in the rain, but a froust is built in a deserted farm. And then, as suddenly as it began, it is over. Trenton. What a day it is! Our hosts, the officers of the Royal Canadian Air Force, put themselves out in every conceivable manner in order that we may enjoy our stay to the full. We fiyg the Duck learns his slow roles, Alibi Lindy gets more than he bar- gained for, and Greeny he'll stick to the Navy and the devil with the air! And so it goes. The weeks merge into months. Specialization has started, and the Class, for the first time in its history, has been divided into more than two groups. With great pomp and ceremony the General and Military formally declares open its new room, and goes forthwith, into committee. The Civils repair to the draughting room, the Electricals and Mechanicals w w n JUNE, 1938 45 to their respective labs, and the Chemicals hide in the attic where they consume unending quantities of Jimmy's renowned tea. On the bottom left-hand corner of our picture page is a group of the above-mentioned Electricals and Mechanicals solving a problem in a typical manner. Wim- py? - mebbe, but ten-to-one it's a magazine. And over Stan's head, out beyond the window, is the Frigate, which, at this time, turns another page in its long and memorable history. The Top Flat is being emptied. The walls, those same walls that have stood the ravages of time, the contact of bodies, cannon balls and water, that have echoed the voices of countless cadets since time immemorial, that could tell of the doings of fathers and sons, pasts and presents, seniors and recruits, are being left to their own rich and immeasurably full reflections. Time must go on. And so C Company, last residents of traditional Top Ack, are wending their way slowly across the Square, burdened with beds, bureaux and books, to take up quarters in the New Coronation Wing of Fort Frederick Dormi- tory, recently opened for occupation. And athletically, things are happening. Chip has come through to win the Aquatics for H.Q. Wing , Punchy, the big cadet, is winning an intercollegiate reputation for his spectacular kicking and stellar back- field play, the soccer team brings home an intercollegiate championship and a Battalion- Lids off. To those of the team who have remarked apologetically, that the season was awfully short, we say this: You had a job, and no matter how small the job, by doing it in the manner you did, to the best of your ability, you have brought honour as well as the first Senior Intercollegiate Soccer Championship to the College you re- present. Congratulations. Exams, the Dance, and Christmas Leave come and go. The dull monotony of the constant plugging is relieved by the inauguration of the monthly dances and twenty-first birthday parties. Teams travel near and far, some losing, some winning. The Trip, to West Point, is another highlight, and the College maintains its superiority on the ice by a very narrow margin. Easter, five short days with Ottawa as the rendezvous end with the realization that final exams, up to now a distant threat, are fast becoming a grim reality.

Then they are upon us - exams, in a long nerve-wracking siege with the last lap down the Final Block. And now as we write, we look ahead to Petawawa, real beds, the Oflicers' Mess, and a new freedom, to the Graduation Exercises, when it will be hard to realize that four years have come to an end in such a surprisingly short time, to Auld Lang Syne, sudden sharp sadness and sombre reflections as we march off the Square, for the last time in Ceremonial Full Dress, to the June Ball, breakfast dance, and all that accompanies it, to the Graduation Dinner, and to our last silent farewells with friends we have known as brothers, who have shared our ups and our downs, and from whom it is suddenly hard to tear ourselves away. To our successors we wish the very best of luck in everything, and in all ways. May you, as we know you will, have the same untiring co- operation in your leadership as we have had in ours. To our recruits - we have enjoyed our year, as you have made it enjoyable. We have left you, along with the old, new ideals, if they are worthy and stand the test of time, stand by them. We are confident, and sure, that if you but pull your weight as you have, success is bound to follow. Time marches on . . . -H. Z. P. -16 R. M. C.

VVEST POINT XVEEK-END, 1938 HE year 1988 being even numbered signified that it was R.M.C.'s turn to go to West Point, or as it is commonly called, The Post, for the annual hockey game. The game, as usual, climaxed the season for both teams, and was certainly an exciting one for both, and a very satisfactory one for R.M.C. On Friday, March 4th, in rather snowy weather the team and those in official capacity stopped work at noon, and after eating one of the kitchen's best send-off steaks climbed aboard the bus for the station, laden with articles of uniform and equipment begged, borrowed, or stolen, to trade with the Pointers. The trip to Montreal was unusually quiet, so much so that our trusted mentors, Col. Stein, Professor Gelley and Mr. Emond, were able to get in some serious bridge despite heavy kibitzing on the part of the train Conductor. On arrival at Montreal the party, fifteen strong, broke up to go to various places for dinner, and returned to our private sleeper at 8.30. After the usual quiet chatter about the game and general heckling died down, everyone turned in and by 10.30 everything was silent. Getting people up and to breakfast in the club-'car was as usual a difiiculty, the captain, of course, thinking of his team, was last. After breakfast everyone shone up to look their best. The train soon arrived at West Point. Here we were met by the Pointers and a battery of press- cameramen who from that time on followed every move with their cameras and flash bulbs. Having met his own particular host, each man went to the room where he was to stay, deposited his belongings and went down to the rink for a limbering-up practice. After lunch, served in the immense Mess- Hall, we saw an inspection parade and several of the team were allowed to inspect companies of the Kaydets. It had been planned to put on a special parade but this was unfortunately prevented by slushy weather. After the parade there were all sorts of entertainments. The Intercolle- giate Gymnastic Championship with Temple University, a boxing meet, a Polo game, and a swimming meet. When these were over those who were 1 JUNE, 1938 47 meeting girls met them and made arrangements for that night's entertain- ment. After a special training tea nearly everyone slept until it was time to go to the rink for the game. The game was started with the playing of the two National Anthems. An R.M.C. cheering section supplied by West Point and led by a Kaydet in a. complete set of R.M.C. Rec. clothing gave wonderful support through- out the game to the visiting team. The full account of the game is in another section of this issue of the Review, but let it be said that it was a hard game to win and a harder game to lose. Both teams played mag- nificently, and went full out for 60 minutes in the most exciting and keenly contested game of the season. Following the game there was a HOP in the gym, with the Kaydet Orchestra playing. When the dance was over everyone left the Post to visit sundry nearby roadhouses and arrived back rather late next morn- ing. Sunday morning everyone attended the service in the West Point chapel and was very much impressed with its quiet dignity and the won- derful singing of the Academy Choir. After Church the team was given an excellent luncheon at the Thayer Inn by the West Point Athletic As- sociation. This lunch was concluded by some very well-delivered speeches on both sides. At 2.15 we left for New York by bus after the usual round of handshaking and farewells. Arriving in the Metropolis a guide was picked up who indicated all the points of interest as we passed them on a drive around the city. How- ever, a suggestion that the party make a short tour of Grant's Tomb on foot met with such a stony silence followed by muffled groans that Col. Stein quickly ordered the bus to drive on. On conclusion of this tour the bus stopped at the famous Jack Dempsey Bar, where some entered to seek refreshment. From this point the Paradise Club was the next move where the ex-cadets in New York very kindly took us to dinner and the show. It was unanimously voted that the Paradise Show-Girls were de- finitely the best ever. When the show and dinner were over the party walked to Radio City Music Hall and thanks to the management were moved almost immediate- ly to seats. The train times worked out so that it was possible to see the entire show without the movie. The walk to Grand Central from Radio City was uneventful although for a while our leaders got their directions mixed. Finally the train left with eighteen very tired and contented people on it. It was seemingly only a short time before the customs man was asking if there were any contraband goods, a sure sign that Montreal was not far away. A change of trains at Montreal brought the party into Kingston on the noon train, Monday, after a most satisfactory week-end in every way. The entire trip was a great success and it is felt that thanks are due to Col. Stein, Professor Gelley, and Mr. Emond, who could not have accom- panied us in a more pleasant manner than they did. The good feeling between the two Colleges is growing stronger every year, this international amity, so seldom seen these days, is something to be encouraged as much as possible. There is no better way to accomplish this than by the perpetuation of the annual Hockey Game between the two great institutions and the attendant alternate yearly visits. -C. H. DRURY. INCE oF WALES?

D. B. OXLEY, The North Staffordshire Regiment. HE Depot of the North Staffordshire Regiment CThe Pri-rice of Wa,les'sJ was established in Lichfield, Staffordshire, in 1881, and ever since then recruits, mostly from the Potteries have come here to be trained to be regular soldiers. The reasons men give for joining up are numerous and various, but the chief reason seems to be the dislike of coal-mining which is about all that there is to do in some parts of North Staffordshire, and anyone who has been down a pit and has seen what a miner has to do for his modest wage will readily under- stand the desire of a youth faced with a lifetime of hewing coal in an unwholesome atmosphere, to obtain the fine healthy open-air life of the soldier. Time was when the army was composed of the dregs of the popula- tion, but times and conditions have altered considerably, and although every incentive is offered to a man to join up, he must essentially be of good character, unmarried, sound in limb and organ, and between the ages of 18 and 25, and agreeable to serve seven years with the Colours and five years on the Reserve. Once he is attested and sworn in, he becomes part of a great family, and is given every encouragement to be glad of his decision to enlist. From the first, individual supervision is given to his mental, moral, and physical development, and the transformation which a few months training can achieve in a recruit, is little short of remarkable. An infantryman must of necessity be a fit man, able if necessary to endure long marches, and in time of war to live on hard rations. The standard of physical fitness is therefore higher for this man than for some of the other branches of the service, such as the Medical Supply, or Ordnance Corps. But it does not matter that he may have been suffer- ing from the eiects of under-nourishment or of unhealthy environment, the army takes pride in overcoming such misfortunes. So long as a recruit is basically sound it can be regarded as a practical certainty that he will be radiantly healthy a month or so later. A simple educational test is also undergone on enlistment, but failure to pass this does not necessarily disqualify a man from joining, and if there is the slightest spark of intelligence in the man he is persevered with. The recruit is perhaps at first a little overawed by the size of bar- racks in general, and barrack-rooms in particular, but it does not take him long to make friends and settle down, and with the fatherly advice of the room N.C.O., as to how to make his bed, display his kit, etc., he is soon at home. The barrack rooms are all furnished in a manner that provides the greatest comfort and cleanliness, combined with the mini- mum of work on the part of the men. While the casual observer might regard all barrack rooms as conforming to an unorthodox style, a closer inspection soon reveals points of difference. The Commanding Officer has taken full advantage of the liberty given him by the War Office to provide added comforts of his own device. One point of difference is the absence of household implements such as brushes, cleaning tins and buckets, which are banned to suitable cup- 50 R. M. C. REVIEW boards. Each room has a polished floor covered by cocoanut matting, and on one wall is an ample fireplace around which an area may be screened off in order to form a cosy corner during the cold weather. Each room has its own radio, and the walls are decorated with numerous pictures. During the day-time the beds and their furnishings are folded up neatly and personal equipment placed in orderly fashion on top. Each man has a locker which is regarded as his own personal property, and which is never inspected. These barrack rooms are for four and a half months the recruits' home. That is the period of their Depot training, and when it is com- pleted. they are posted to the Home Battalion. After a period of service with that, they are given a spell of service overseas. In addition to the Barrack Room where the recruit sleeps, and the Navy, Army Sz Air Force Institute where the recruit can get refreshments, play billiards and read the newspapers, the Depot has a reading room of its own, converted from a spare barrack room. Here the recruit can sit in a comfortable chair beside a fire and read a book or write a letter in comparative quiet. These sitting rooms have been so popular that the Government are to provide them when constructing future Barracks. It is the unanimous verdict of recruits that the food supplied them is really good, and with the recent increase in ration allowance and the substitution of butter for margarine, all sorts of little dainties, undreamt of by the pre-war regular, are provided. The result is that a man has not to use his money on buying extras in the way of supper, etc., as that meal is now a substantial one. All meals are served in a well-appointed dining- room replete with labour saving devices, which is kept spotlessly clean. No longer does the recruit have to bring his own knife, fork and spoon to the Dining Hall. He comes to the Dining Hall as one would in one's own home to find the table properly laid. This is a unit as distinct from a War Office arrangement. The training of a recruit consists mainly of drills, musketry, physical training, education and sports. His work which is done in squads of appropriately 25, is carefully planned, scheduled, and supervised by a team of 1 Sergeant, 1 Corporal, 1 Lance-Corporal who remain with the same squad during its time at the Depot. Afternoons are devoted mostly to sport, and in the evenings, apart from voluntary Gyms, he can please himself what he does once he has done cleaning his kit for the next day, and is allowed out of barracks without a pass until 1 a.m. The Depot has been ordered to send three Officers and 50 other ranks to take part in the Procession and the Lining of the Route on the occasion of Their Majesties' Coronation on May 12th. This is an unusual honour for a Depot and is occasioned by the fact that the Home Battalion of the Regiment is temporarily stationed in Palestine. This party is to wear the new Blue Uniform designed for ceremonial purposes. An important part of the recruits' training is the time spent in the Depot school, which is superintended by a qualified teacher. Each recruit is graded according to his educational ability, and at first reading, writing, Regimental History, and arithmetic are taught. All recruits are required to obtain a third class certificate before they pass out of the Depot. Afterwards they may take additional subjects and enter for their second and first class certificates, and it is notable that the voluntary attendance JUNE, 1938 51 at extra classes by men who have obtained the third class certificate is comparatively high among the North Staffords. Side by side with the educational work is the Physical Training, facilities for which are provided in a splendidly equipped gymnasium. Instructors from the Army P.T. Staff supervise this section of training. As in the school the exercises are graded and recruits ultimately undergo tests in physical efliciency, physical training and other gymnastic work. Six hours in each week are devoted to physical training, and the progress of each man is recorded at each lesson. The fact that the average increase in weight per man during the 18 weeks of training is about 10 to 11 pounds, is proof of the value of the gymnasium. After physical training classes every recruit has to indulge in a hot shower. The shower baths being also available for use at any time of the day. Recreational facilities are centred in the admirable Navy, Army and Air Force Institute set aside for recruits only. The outdoor sports pro- gramme is extensive and includes football, hockey, cricket, basketball, open range shooting and swimming. All recruits are brought up to salute the Regimental War Memorial in the parade ground whenever they pass it. It is a memorial erected to all the battalions of the Regiment, seventeen in number, in existence dur- ing the Great War, and is surmounted by the Regimental Crest, a China Dragon. The most impressive building in the Depot is the Regimental Chapel. This is also the Garrison Church, and, up to 1924, it was a school and Chapel combined. It was dedicated in that year, and the North Staffords, who have so largely helped to beautify it, now regard it as their Memorial Chapel. It contains the old colours of all Battalions of the North Staf- fordshire Regiment, and there are a great many memorial tablets to Oflicers and other ranks who have died. A Roll of Honour containing the names of Oflicers and men of the North and South Staffordshire Regiments who lost their lives in the Great War, occupies a niche near the Chancel. The niche is enclosed by wrought iron gates, the tracery of which includes the badges of the two Regiments. At the commencement of every Parade Service a recruit walks up from his place, opens the niche gates and turns over a leaf of the Roll. Near the Barrack rooms is the Regimental Museum where there is a very interesting collection of books, pictures, old uniforms, weapons, medals and articles showing the Regiment's history. The Museum was inaugurated only about six years ago, but it now contains many hundreds of exhibits all of which tell a story of their own, and inspire the recruit with esprit de corps. This excellent account, which we received for publication last year, just too late for our .June issue, was inadvertently placed amongst the used copy and so omitte-d from our Christmas number. We publish it now with great pleasure and many apologies. -EDITOR. 52 R.M.c. REVIEW THE ADVISORY BOARD The Advisory Board paid its annual visit to the College on Friday and Saturday, May 13th and 14th. On Friday morning and afternoon they met for discussion and in the evening were entertained to dinner in the Senior Staff Mess. After dinner they adjourned to the old Gymnasium, where they witnessed the boxing finals. The prizes were presented by Colonel A. T. Kelly Evans. On Saturday morning the Board inspected the Battalion of Gentlemen Cadets, the salute being taken by the Chairman, Dr. A. S. McFarlane. At the end of the Parade a gymnastic display was put on by the cadets on the Square. At the saluting base, with the Commandant were Major-General E. C. Ashton, Chief of the General Staff, Major-General C. F. Constantine, Adj utanteGeneral and Commodore P. W. Nelles, Chief of the Naval Staff. Also among the spectators was Mrs. A. G. G. Wurtele, widow of No. 1, Captain A. G. G. Wurtele. In the afternoon the Board were entertained to tea by Brigadier and Mrs. Matthews in their house and in the evening they were the guests of the R.M.C. Club at dinner in the La Salle Hotel.

Y the death of Brig-General Montgomery Campbell the Regiment has lost one whose charming personality won the respect, admiration and affection of all who knew him. It was in June 1881 that he, after passing through the Royal Military College, Canada, received his commission in the Royal Artillery. After serving a short time in the Field and Garrison branches, he was in 1885 given his jacket and appointed to KXB R.H.A. in India in which he served until 1889, when he returned to England on promotion to captain. Five years later he again went out to India on reappointment to Horse Artillery, serving in L Battery and subsequently as adjutant at Secun- derabad and Kirkee. He became a major just at the outbreak of the South African War and went out in command of the 1st Ammunition Column but in May, 1900, 'he assumed command of the 76th Battery, 10th Brigade, and took part in the advance from Bloemfontein to Pretoria, as well as in the operations in other theatres of the war including the actions at Vet River, Sand River, Diamond Hill, Wittenbergen, etc. Later he commanded U Battery, R.H.A., and brought this Battery home with him from South Africa, staying with it some years. He was mentioned in des- patches, promoted brevet lieutenant-colonel and received the Queen's and the King's medals. From 1902 to 1909 Campbell served at home, being promoted in the latter year to lieut.-colonel in command of the 19th Bri- gade, R.F.A., which he took out to Bloemfontein. It was while there that he received the medal issued in commemoration of the union of the various South African states. After coming home to Woolwich in 1911, on transfer to the 82nd Brigade, R.F.A., he had just completed his four years in command when war was declared and 'he was immediately given command of the artillery of the 46th CNorth Midlandj Division. General Sir William Thwaites who commanded the Division writes 1- By the time the Division went out to France he had brought the batteries to a high state of efficiency. He served continuously until early in 1918 when he, in the front line trenches in the environs of Lens, was severely Wounded, this resulting in the loss of an eye. He had previous to this sudered much from having been badly gassed. He was respected and loved for his gallantry in action, his quick grasp of a situation, his ready and loyal response to all demands made upon him in his capacity as C.R.A., his human touch and courtesy to all ranks and for his immense patience and good humour in all circumstances. Brig.-General Sir Hill Child who served under him also writes:- He was a great disciplinarian and rather alarmed the territorials to start with but we all soon realised what a thoroughly sound good fellow he was and everybody became much attached to him. He had a very human side to his character. He was quite indefatigable and most fear- less. The more exposed and unpleasant the forward O.P. or gun position, the more certain he was to pay it a visit. 54 R. M. C. REVIEW For his services he was twice mentioned in despatches and was awarded the C.B. and C.M.G. Though his army career was closed General Montgomery Campbell did not remain idle but, having settled at Kelston Park, near Bath, he immediately began to devote himself to the various activities of civil life with the same keenness that he had displayed when serving. As is so often the case, the demands made on him at times were exacting and he very soon found the whole of his time fully occupied in carrying out the duties of the many oflices he had undertaken to fill and of the committees, etc., on which he was serving. Space will not admit of going into details of them but it may be said that he greatly interested himself in anything relating to ex-service men. He was for many years president of the Bath branches of both the British Legion and R.A. Association. He also took a prominent part in almost every public activity of the County of Somer- set and City of Bath and particularly all local benevolent and philanthropic institutions and societies. He was church warden of his Parish Church for many years and all those living in the neighbourhood can never forget his unfailing interest and kindness to them. He was devoted to his old Regiment in which the whole of his army career was spent and it was a great pleasure to him when last June he was, although in a very bad state of health, able to join in the service held at St. Paul's Church, Bath, in memory of Colonel Bull and was attended by I Battery CBull's Troopj B.H.A., and many artillery officers. This was the last function he attended and the last time on which he appeared in uniform. For the last few years he suiered much from the disabilities incurred by war service and this was aggravated by an acci- dent last August when he fractured his thigh. To the last he displayed that courage and thought for others that had been so characteristic of his whole life and although unable any longer to take an active part in them his thoughts were always with those many organizations in which he had been so interested. The funeral service was held at the Bath Abbey, the body being borne on a gun-carriage of L C Nery J Battery, R.H.A. fin which the General had served as a captain in 1895f97J and carried into the Abbey by gunners of the same battery. The Duke of Somerset, Sir Lionel Darell, General Sir William Thwaites, Lieut.-GeneralSir Henry Wilson, Maj.- General Sir Stanley von Donop, Brig.-General E. Harding Newman, Colonel H. N. St. J. Maule, Colonel J. C. Sherer and Major G. D. Lock fPresident Bath British Legionl acted as pall bearers. Members of the British Legion and R.A. Association formed a Guard of Honour at the entrance to the Abbey and at the close of the service the Last Post was sounded by the R.H.A. Trumpeters. There was a large congregation present among whom were the following R.A. officers :-Field-Marshal Lord Milne, The Mayor of Bath fCaptain A. E. Hopkinsb, Brig.-General M. L. Carleton, Colonel O. Rowe and Captain O. Ward. The interment was carried out privately at Kelston. -S D . V. .

I THEIJBRARY HE Library is being more extensively used every year and once again we are beginning to feel the need for more room for books and more room for working with the books. The time is rapidly approaching when the College will have to have a real library building with pro- per reading rooms attached. Who, without books, essays to learn, Draws water from a leaky urn. We have added to our numbers approximately 280 books since last December, by gifts and requisition. The gifts will be found listed below. Mrs. E. F. Wurtele very kindly sent us the new Canadian Encyclopedia in 6 volumes, a very acceptable gift, Colonel Leonard and Mr. E. A. LeSueur bound copies of useful technical magazines, Mr. V. M. Lynch-Staunton a set of Bernard Shaw's works, which nicely replaced those lost in the fire, Mr. F. McLennan sent us some more line military volumes from his library and No. 2370, L. Atack, enriched the fiction library with twelve good detective novels, which are always much appreciated. There has been a distinct lull in the receipt of shields. One of the East Lancashire Regiment was generously given by Mrs. William Stew- art in memory of her brother, the late No. 995, Captain G. E. Tinling, M.C., the only other one, which was also much appreciated, was our second Canadian Naval Shield. We should like to get some more from the Navy and we lack a good many of the N on-Permanent Active Militia Regimental Shields which we should be glad to have. . Books No. 2370, L.

Detachments of 100 men each from the R.C.H.A. and the R.C. Sigs. were provided, and the R.C.H.A. Band was also in attendance. Dr. Trotter, president of the Kingston Historical Society, introduced the two speakers, C. H. J. Snider, Esq., noted naval historian, and Brig. H. F. H. Hertzberg, D.O.C., M.D. 3. The R.C.H.A. Band played the Regi- mental Marches of the British Regular Army Regiments which had gar- risoned the forts surrounding the Cairn. These regiments were the 8th Foot, The King's fLiverpool Regt.J and the 100th Foot, then the Prince of Wales' CCounty of Dublinl Regt. but later the Prince of Wales' Lein- ster Regiment fRoyal Canadiansl, whose officers' mess plate and silver is now in safe keeping at the R.M.C., and has been since the Regiment was disbanded. Brigadier Hertzsberg unveiled the plaque on the Cairn as the Guard of Honour presented arms and the Band played The King. Wreaths were placed by the Kingston Historical Society and the Kingston Yacht Club. The parade then marched past the D.O.C. and brought the short ceremony to a close. -D. B. B. X X ... ll 1 off!

The fact that the recruits were allowed to take off the staff, this year, probably helped them to put on such a good show. Hollywood would have found it difficult to produce six more lovely cigarette girls than those who kept the audience happy with their lipstick kisses, cigarettes, and candies. The programme was run through under the able direction of Master of Ceremonies Hamilton, alias Grand-dad. In the first skit Priscilla Peck put on a very good demonstration of how the modern miss should NOT behave, which earned her a cake after the show. The orchestra won a well-deserved cake for being the best act, Spence and Beveridge got theirs for best and second-best acting respectively, and Oldham as the most alluring cigarette girl. The finale arrived after the singing of the Class Song and the presentation of the Prizes to the members of the Senior Class. When everyone had changed into fatigues, the recruits were given a minute to make of with their cakes before the remaining cadets set after them. They successfully defended themselves in the Lunette and nary a crumb went astray. After half an hour of tusseling and scramb- ling everybody went back to the dormitories to sleep off the effects of a very excellent Cake-Walk. -A. E. MCMURTRY. lfffl!-4, 5 . eff! 58 R.M.o. REVIEW THE YEAR'S DANCES N accordance with the policy adopted this year by the Recreation Club, the new gym has been the scene of more dancing and gaiety than ever before. As this policy has proved successful from all standpoints it is concluded that it will be continued, in short, the institution of a some- what less expensive Christmas dance and three or four monthly dances throughout the winter will be the regular practice in future years. The Christmas dance was held on Thursday, December sixteenth, in the new gym with Sid Fox's orchestra in attendance, and despite the lack of funds available it was adjudged another 'fbest yet. The gym was as gaily and effectively decorated as usual, the supper just as appetizing, the music equally as good, and one was inclined to wonder just who was saving money and how. To give just as big a party on almost half the money is a good trick if you can do it, and apparently the wizards on the committee have learnt the secret. It is to be hoped that following com- mittees will be as successful. The January and February dances were both held on the last Satur- day of the month, and the March hop on the night before Easter leave, the twenty-fifth. For all these dances Jack Telgmann and his orchestra provided the sweet and swingy notes and were everywhere received with considerable enthusiasm. We are only afraid that Kingston will soon lose a band of such great promise. No decorations were put up for these occasions but the sombre back- ground had little effect on the spirits of the revellers. The January dance was held in Currie Hall but because of the crowd and the over-intensity of the brass section the scene of action for the next two was moved to the gym again, where the smaller crowd and larger floor enabled gyrating feet and imagination full scope while not giving the impression that the room was empty. By and large the social season of '38 on the bonny banks of Navy Bay was very successful. -E. H. LEATHER. LAFFERTY CUP COMPETITION, 1937 RESULTS Ofger 15Mile Relay 1 Mile - High Jump so yd.

There were less O.H.A. games and, because of a mild winter, only a single inter-company schedule was played. However, the season was full enough to be able to declare it a successful one. The First Team played six intercollegiate and four O.H.A. games and closed its season by a spectacular finish at West Point on March 5th against the United States Military Academy. The Second Team played three regular games in the Junior B O.H.A. and a number of exhibitions against Regiopolis, the R.C.D.'s of Toronto, the Signals and other teams. The company squads played fifteen games, each team meeting each of the other five companies once. Hockey, through its various competitions, brought out about 125 cadets. Once the winter did set in, a splendid sheet of ice was always available in the Holt Rink. Though the staff did not skate as much as usual, the children of the staff never missed the hours allotted to them. In the O.H.A. we were grouped with Kingston Garrison, Kingston City and Gananoque in the Intermediate A series, and with Kingston and Queen's University in the Junior HB . Our opponents in the Inter- collegiate were McGill, Loyola, University of Montreal and the University of Bishop's College. Two double-headers were played in Montreal and two single games in Kingston. Despite the fact that we were well out of the running the games in both series were interesting right up to the end. We forced Loyola to the limit in the final Kingston game, Loyola having to win to gain the lead on McGill for the Intermediate Intercollegiate Championship. This was a grand game to watch. In the other series our match against Kingston City went into overtime, Kingston winning to go on as group champions. We returned from West Point still out of breath as the result of the closeness of our victory over the finest team that the U.S.M.A. has yet turned out. It really was a wonderful game and the excitement was intense to the final gong. We were delighted to meet again Col. Harris who was the oflicer in charge of hockey when the College team played the first game of this splendid series against the Army sextet on the open rink behind the old West Point gymnasium. He travelled a long way to see this match. The crowded new rink, the band, the cheering sections, the battery of cameras, the pressmen, the ceremonial and the game pro- vided such a contrast to that first experimental meeting that it is impos- sible to compare them. We are grateful to Colonel Devers and his A.A.A. officers for their courtesy to us, and also for their thoughtfulness in pro- viding a block of centre seats for the members of the New York Branch of the R.M.C. Club. We extend our thanks, too, to the New York Branch :J cu vi .bd o o S-4 FII sd..

I imagine that the 1938 visit, the eighth, to the U.S.M.A. will linger long in the memory of all of us who made up the squad. Meeting the strongest opposition with the fewest number of veterans in many years it was natural that we should lose the majority of our games. It is some consolation that we managed to finish in the centre position in both leagues. Injuries, physical and academic, also added to our misery. But notwithstanding our handicaps the season in retrospect was a successful one, one of close games, good fellowship with our oppon- ents, and team harmony. We regret very much losing Palmer, the Hockey Captain, Spencer, Joyce and Lantier, the Hockey Manager. They graduate this year and we oier them our sincere congratulations and best wishes. Palmer and Lantier made an efficient team. They ran the hockey show with a thoroughness and a smoothness that was admirable. Their places will be filled next year by MacBrien as Hockey Captain and Wilson, W. H. T., as Hockey Manager, and to them we wish the best of luck, the neces- sary new material and a good old-time winter. --T. F. G. EXHIBITION R.M.C. at U.S.M.A. A capacity crowd watched the fifteenth renewal of the R.M.C.-U.S. M.A. hockey competition which took place at West Point on March 5th, An impressive ceremony was held just prior to the game. Both teams lined up on their respective blue lines and stood at attention while first the Union Jack was raised at the east end of the rink, the band playing God Save the King , and then while the U.S. emblem was raised at the north end to the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. In the north- east section were some two hundred and fifty West Point cadets who formed a Canadian cheering section and maintained a most vociferous support of the Red and White. The first period went scoreless. If anything the West Pointers had the edge of the play as their attack was the more persistent. Rushes were always dangerous for both teams but the College forward lines were unable to adjust themselves to the huge ice surface. Their passes always seemed slow. During the second period the R.M.C. cadets worked better, but the Army team were able to match speed for speed and rarely did either team manage to get through or around the defence. Both goalers made marvellous saves, but Somerville, who played the second period in the R.M.C. goal, had the greater amount of work and turned in a stellar performance. Just before the end of the period MacBrien cleverly drew the West Point defence and passed to Holmes who went in alone to score the only goal of the game. The West Pointers were determined to get an equalizer and literally rained shots on Fuger in the third period. The flashlights covered every shot, for each Pointer was striving for the goal that might be the turn in the wheel of fortune. The Army strategists, Captain Carter and Mr. Marchand, changed lines frequently and kept their attack at top speed at all times. However, the College backchecked well to give the goaler the maximum of support. At about the fifteen minute mark it looked as though the tying goal was to be scored for the West Point forwards twice 62 R. M. C. REVIEW passed through the defence but lacked the time to place accurate shots. During the last minute of play Palmer, Spencer and Joyce teamed up so that they could play their last minute of hockey in an R.M.C. uniform on an attack. Checking was hard, Blanchard for the U.S.M.A. and MacBrien for the R.M.C. used their bodies very effectively. West Point was very clever at forward passing in the centre zone. The goal tending was superb. No less than nine shots hit the far post, which is an excellent indication that the shooting of both teams was accurate. R.M.C.:-Goal, Fuger and Somerville, defence, Spencer, MacBrien, Joyce and Alexander, forwards, Palmer, Holmes, Morison, Brooks, Gau- thier, Campbell, Martin, Manager, Lantier. U.S.M.A.:--Goal, Larkin, defence, Sussman, Blanchard, centre, Cur- tin, wings, Smith, McCaffray, forwards, Grant, Devlin, Heidtke, Barnard, Herboth, Edwards, Birrell, Hazeltine, Nolan, Hartline, Donohue. Officials:-Macdonell and Sayles. -T. F. G. INTERMEDIATE INTERCOLLEGIATE The First Team played six games in the Intercollegiate series, two of them counting four points, those against Bishop's and McGill. On February 11th we played the University of Montreal at Loyola rink and lost a game by the score of 4 to 1 that we should have won. The Mont- realers scored three easy goals and our forwards missed four open nets. U. of M. played a strong defensive game after getting a commanding lead on long shots. The next night, February 12th, we played McGill and lost 3 to 2. The cadets recovered themselves after the previous night's game and matched the powerful McGill Seconds in every department. Our next two games in Montreal were played against Bishop's on Friday night, February 18th, and against Loyola on Saturday night. We beat Bishop's in overtime by the score of 2 to 1, but were trimmed by Loyola 3 to O. Gauthier and Martin combined to score the winning goal against Bishop's in the overtime period of a rather hectic and rough game. The Loyola team proved to be a smooth, fast skating young team. Kane, Loyola rugby and hockey star, scored all three goals by himself in the third period. The game was clean and fast and was watched by a large gallery. The final two games of the series were played in Kingston. We met the University of Montreal on February 23rd. Though the cadets led for three-quarters of the game, U. of M. came through in the dying moments of the game to score two goals and win by a 6 to 5 decision. With Spencer, Campbell and McColl on the sick list the College played with a reorganized team. Forget of Montreal was the star and was a hard man to stop. MacBrien was the best for the cadets, figuring in three of our five goals. Our final game was the return engagement against Loyola. Loyola and McGill were within a point of each other and a victory for Loyola meant the championship for them. Again Kane was the pivot man, fast and tricky. Palmer, who seemed unable to find the nets in previous games, scored the two goals for the College. We lost 6 to 2. Regiopolis turned out to root for their sister college and the game was close enough to give the spectators the thrills they came to get.

Four games were played in this series, two with Gananoque, and sudden-death games with Garrison and Kingston. Our first game was with Garrison on January 22 and was lost 6 to 1. The game was close enough to be interesting, with the shots on goal about even, no penalties were incurred. The Garrison team, however, was more experienced as it had been playing since November. We met Gananoque on their ice on February 1 and won in the last second of play by the clase score of 5 to 4. The return game was played at Queen's rink on February 3rd, which we also won by the better score of 3 to 1. Both games were as exciting as the score indicates for Gananoque always fields a fighting team that plays at top speed to the bitter end. These games were very efficiently handled by J. L. Smith. Our last game in the O.H.A. was played with the Kingston City team on the 16th February. It counted four points and was an important game as a win would place us in second position and put Kingston out of the running. However, we lost in overtime by the score of 5 to 4. The game was fast and clean. The College had a big edge in the first period, scoring the only goal, and in the third period when chances to win the game on any of four occasions were let slip by. Kingston won the group championship. R.M.C.:-Fuger, Spencer, MacBrien, Holmes, Morison, Brooks, Gau- thier, Martin, Campbell, Joyce, Palmer, Somerville, Alexander. Gananoque:-Nalon, Brennan, Matthews, Bradley, Dixon, Bishop, Hood, Kirkby, Wheeler, Willis.

Kingston :-Boucher, Roberts, Nicholson, Boyd, Gow, Scrutton, Gor- don, Stoness, Matheson, McColm, Smith. -T. F. G. JUNIOR MB O. H. A, There were only four games scheduled in this series. A College team was entered not with any hope of winning but because of the idea that experience is the greatest teacher. A number of juniors must step up into the first team ranks next year and the experience gained through games is essential. Against the Kingston City team the College lost both its games by big scores. The Hrst game on Jan. 27th was lost 9 to 2. The cadets managed to hold the faster City Juniors until the middle of the second period when the score was held at 2 all. The second game was played on February 14 and was lost by 9 to 1. It was the same story. There was N e 3 2 e 2 W,,wM,f mi 1 Z i ,f Q f W Www fi Q,,2,'iii,,2 ' W, 4 , ,, 4 Q Z 2 H JUNE, 1938 55 no scoring in the first period and only 2 to 1 with three minutes to go in the second period. The College Juniors lacked speed and eventually were Worn down by the constant pressure. Queen's University Juniors on January 29th won from the College in a four point game by 9 to 0. The game was more even than the score indicates - the Queen's goaler was remarkable and ours allowed many easy shots to find the net. However there is no doubt the better team won. R.M.C.:--Goal, Somerville, Austin, Stewart, defence, Alexander, Or- ton, Dundas, Reevesg forwards, Holmes, Morison, Brooks, Peck, Hilborn, Giguere, Spence, Williams, Rasmussen, May. -T. F. G. 7 INTER-COMPANY SERIES, 1938 Fifteen games were played at the Holt Rink, each of the six company teams playing five games. The standard of inter-company games was better this year and injuries were less. There were 110 players regis- tered on the game reports. Except for E Company, all the companies were evenly matched, four of the games were ties. E Company suffered the big handicap of losing five players to the College teams. The winner of the series was C Company with four wins and one tie. The big guns of the league were, strange to say, the big men: Rowland, Macken- zie, Stephenson, Martinovitch, Boswell, Fernie, Mooney, McMurtry, New- son, et al. Or maybe it was because they seemed more prominent than players like Amy, Couture, Turner, McColl and Ridout. The chief penalty servers were Newson, Hamilton, Buchanan and Deroche, The popular referee was the Hockey Captain, Palmer, who handled the bell for six games. This may be one of the reasons for his popularity with the press.

Kirkpatrick, J. R. H. .- FRONT Row: Drury, Ellis, Dr. P. Lowe JUNE, 1938 67 BASKETBALL, 1937-3-8 ORE cadets are playing basketball than ever before. 108 cadets, more than half the College, took part either in league games, or in inter-company games, or in practice. However, the standard of the better players has not increased in proportion. The College teams engaged in the usual leagues, Senior A Inter- collegiate, Intermediate O.A.B.A., and Junior O.A.B.A. The intercollegiate games are against McMaster and O.A.C., two of the best senior teams in the country, and tthough we played good basketball, particularly at home, we were unable to match their ability. The most pleasing feature of this series was the particularly friendly feeling which developed between O. A. C. and ourselves, and each college entertained the other with great enjoyment to both. The O.A.B.A. games with local teams were closely contested but again without great success in games won. A new entry in the intermediate series that we were glad to welcome was the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, now established at Barriefield. We were unfortunate in losing two of our most experienced players through illness towards the end of the season. As intimated above, the Company games brought out a great many participants, and they were keenly fought as usual. It was a pleasure to use the new gymnasium with its greater space and better lighting and other facilities. Having the two gyms now avail- able also makes it much easier to arrange practice hours. -P. L. INTERCOLLEGIATE DINGHY SAILING The R.M.C. suffered its first defeat in intercollegiate dinghy sailing on May Sth, when the McGill team won a match by a score of 24 to 17. The first race was a drifting match with hardly enough air to move the boats. At the end of the first leg, what little breeze there was died away completely, but after a few minutes came in again from another quarter so that there was no windward work in the race at all. McGill secured first, third and fourth places for a score of 13 points, against 8 for R.M.C. The second race, in the afternoon, was sailed in a smart breeze. At the first buoy, the R.M.C. skippers were in first, second and third places, but the second boat touched the buoy in rounding it and at once withdrew. Brock, of the R.M.C. team, was making a run-away race in first place, and this left the three McGill boats free to cover Wilson, the remaining R.M.C. skipper. Eventually he dropped from third place to fourth but missed finishing second by inches, three boats finishing within three seconds of each other. The score for this race was McGill 11, R.M.C. 9, making the total for the day, McGill 24, R.M.C. 17. The 1938 Intercollegiate Championship will be sailed at Toronto on October 2nd.. -FOUR WINDS. as R. M. C. REVIEW SQUASH RACQUETS HIS year much more squash has been played at the College than in former years, and throughout the winter a stream of players has been seen going to and from the squash courts. This interest in the game has led to a much higher standard of play, and because of this it was possible to arrange matches with outside teams. The College sent a team of five men, consisting of Sgt. Stephenson, Cpl. Deroche, G.Cs. Buchanan, Fleming, and Magee, B. R. B., to the Ontario Provincial Tournament, which was held at the Toronto Badminton and Racquet Club on the week-end of March 5-6th. R.M.C. was drawn against the strong B. and R. team, they lost, but considering that they were playing a much more experienced team in full-sized courts, they made a very creditable showing. The team was entertained royally and many thanks must be given to the Tournament Committee for the manner in which they made the competition so enjoyable to all. On the Friday night, March 4th, the College played the University of Toronto at Hart House. There were some very good games and the Varsity managed to win by 6 matches to 4. The team was entertained after the game. On Sunday, April 24th, a team of Cpl. Deroche, G.Cs. Buchanan, Nation, Fleming, Austin, and Magee, B. R. B., went to Trinity College School, Port Hope. The two teams were well matched and T.C.S. edged out a win by 28 games to 27, the matches being tied 9J9. The College were the guests of Mr. Ketchum, the headmaster, for lunch and dinner, and we hope this match will become an annual fixture between the two colleges. Unfortunately we were unable to accept invitations to play club matches with the Badminton and Racquet, and Carlton Clubs in Toronto, and with the Montreal A.A., but it is hoped that some of these games will materialize next year. Squash at R.M.C. is under several severe handicaps for which it is hoped some remedy may be found in the near future. When the team comes to play outside matches with other clubs several points show up very clearly in the play, although they are not so obvious when we are playing amongst ourselves. The most salient criticism concerns the courts which were very kindly built for the College by the Ex-Cadet Club in 1909. They are smaller than the standard court, they are not well situated and the walls are of wood, which has warped through the course of time. Squash is an excellent game both during the long winter months and also when work prevents a longer period of recreation. In support of this it is noted that the new Globe SL Mail Building in Toronto has a squash court installed simply for this reason. There is practically no other game which provides so much exercise in a short time, can be played all the year around, and promotes such thoroughly good sportsmanship. It is thought that full-sized courts connected either with Fort Frederick Dormitory or the Mess Building would not only lead to R.M.C. being able to take a prominent part in the game which is becoming increasingly popu- lar in Canada, but would serve to give very necessary exercise both to those who need to refresh befuddled brains and those who do not play other games. The ladder system does encourage the play as it provides a means of competition throughout the year whenever the players wish it, but it will not bring out and sustain th-e interest of as many players as will the provision of suitably situated and up-to-date courts. -B. R. B. MAGEE. JUNE, 1 938 69 SHOOTING, 1937-8 HE shooting this year got away to a fair start in the inter-university match. Capt. Buell picked a team of about twenty of the better shots to fire in the match. It has been customary in former years to fire the whole college, counting only the top eight scores, and we were gratified to see that the showing of the team this year was slightly better than that of former years. Using the rifles available we cannot hope to place at the top of the list, but the fact that cadets are starting to bring in privately owned match rifles with proper target sights, speaks well for our chances in the future. January brought the inter-company and D.C.R.A. matches in both rifle and revolver. Arrangements for practices were made by company commanders so that all those interested would not be forgotten and at the same time the prospective company team could receive the bulk of the ammunition grant. This seemed to have a stimulating effect on the scores and the result was a severe shock to the Rifle Club when an end- less line of grinning pothunters came to collect their spoons at the end of March. F Coy. won the inter-company rifle matches and tied for first place with A Coy. in the revolver, thus taking top place in the combined scoring towards the inter-company championship. Highest individual score was made by G.C. Baker, G. C., of F Coy., with Sgt. Forsyth, also of F Coy., second. The D.C.R.A. rifle scores were slightly better than last year, and the revolver scores were very much better. There are a number of very promising revolver shots in the present third class and next year should show even more improvement. As the interest was still quite high when the season was finished a match was arranged with the R.C.H.A. to be fired in two parts, the first at their ranges with their rifles and the second at home with our own weapons. We were fortunate enough to gain a lead in the first part using strange rifles, G.C. Blyth scoring a possible. At home again with familiar conditions we did even better and increased our advantage, win- ning the match by quite a comfortable margin. All those firing enjoyed shooting against our next door neighbours and we look for further competitions in the future. The Sandhurst team for this year is still in the making and we were blessed with the largest turnout on record. At present it has been whit- tled down to sixteen keen shots who are all resolved to be in the final eight selected, Having won the match twice in the last three years after such a long string of failures, you can be sure that we are all out to do the hat trick if at all possible The recruit class have provided us with some excellent shooting material among whom are numbered another Boggs Brown and another Alibi Andy. Heaven preserve Sandhurst. Before we close it is only fitting that a very hearty vote of thanks be given to the butt party provided by the third class who have given up their afternoons to wheel targets for practices, hoping to help the college win the match Cand perhaps to miss the joys of staff inspectionb. Without their smiling and untiring help it would be impossible to carry on in the present smooth running manner. Here is hoping for more pos- sibles next year. -H. L. FORSYTH. ,Z 5 .

Boxing as a sport was taken off the list of competitive inter- company sports this year as at trial. This would seem to be an error judging by the number of entries in the open weights. This year mini- mum entries were received in the five open weights, two of the entries being recruits filling in at the last minute. This state of affairs cannot be held fairly against the cadet body, because the preliminaries in the recruit weights and the finals in both open and recruit weights were held during the early to middle part of May, the finals being fought on Friday evening at 8.45, the 13th May. The cadet's primary effort at this time of the year is to pass his final examinations. The exams had been running at short intervals through the latter part of April and early May with the final block starting the Wed- nesday following the Advisory Board visit. A cadet will not go into a boxing meet without some attempt at regaining his training and condi- tion, neither of which is enhanced by late study hours nor is there much time remaining after many drill and gymnastic rehearsals for the Advis- ory Board display. Having had our grouse, the standard of the boxing this year ap- peared to be a better average performance in both open and recruit weights, and was featured by the sportsmanship of the volunteers of the open weights in entering despite the proximity of the exams. It would be unfair to attempt to pick out outstanding bouts because there were so many good onesg suffice it to say that many complimentary remarks were floating around the Old Gym after No. 75, Col. Kelly Evans, had presented the cups to the winners. The Gold cup this year went to a recruit, G.C. Hilborn, R. C., who, although beaten in the Open Welterweight, had shown very nice style, knowledge and ring craft in winning the Recruits Intermediate weight.

INTER-COMPANY GYMNASTICS, 1938 HE annual Inter-Company Gymnastic Competition was held in the New Gymnasium, starting at 8 p.m. Friday, 15th April, 1938. The exercises were in most cases the same as last year's selection, with the Horizontal Bar A exercises slightly harder. The competition produced a higher standard of performance, that is the execution of the exercises was more finished and they were done with more ease than last year. More of the harder groups Were attempted and reasonably well performed. The competition was keenly contested as may be judged from the results:- COMPANY RESULTS First ............. ........

Judging by the gasps and applause that came to the ears of a gently perspiring OKC P.T., struggling frantically with simple arithmetic, the tricks must have been a trifle hair-raising. This opinion appeared to be borne out by the evident relief that appeared on the face of the P.T.I. when a halt Was called to permit the announcement of the results and to hear the Commandant's congratulations to the teams and individual Winners. -D. B. B. 74 R. M. C. REVIEW THE MARCH OF SERVICE UST as military strategy requires that operations be planned carefully in order to ensure mobility of troops, materials and supplies, so too must modern telephone service be carefully planned, extended, and developed, to the end that, in a country like Canada, voice communica- tion is possible from one place to almost any other. It is now possible to connect one with another any of 37,000,000 tele- phones in 72 countries. This means that each portion of the line must be ready and able to take care of the transmission of a message to, from or through its territory. The Bell Telephone Company of Canada which confines its operations to the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec is only one falthough the largestl of over 3000 telephone systems operating in the Dominion. Its investment in plant - svvitchboards, buildings, Wires, cables, equipment and apparatus - alone approximates 3S200,000,000. Telephone service has become indispensable not only in the economy of present-day business but as Well in our modern social organization. It is imperative that this service be available as and when needed. Ser- vice must be adequate at all times and yet not involve excess cost due to over-built plant. The modern telephone system involves a very complex plant. This means that operations must be planned Well in advance to the end of securing effective and economical coordination of the various portions of plant. For example, cable systems must be planned economically and With regard to future switchboard arrangements. Telephone engineers and scientists are never satisfied. Refinements are made year by year based on past experience and new discoveries. Telephone service is easier, speedier, and more dependable today than it was five years ago. Five years from now it is expected that it will be even better. 5 .Q - am full. at , ' if l ' -- ' A I C 0' In - fi E iff? 1. you ,T 3 ... L-U- Q , W I IVI., I .

Colonel Skinner was born in 1859 in Hamilton, Ont. After attending Galt College Institute he entered the College in 1879 and graduated as a C.S.M. with a first class certificate in 1882. That same year he left for England to join the Royal Sussex Regiment to which he had been gazetted. In 1889 he accompanied his regiment to India.

REVIEW I beg to submit the following report covering the past twelve months. The Council met twice and the Executive on Nov. 5, 1937, and again on April 2, 1933. All of these meetings were held at the R.M.C., King- ston. Advisory Board. The introduction of special courses or options in the 4th year as recommended by last year's Advisory Board has worked out very well. Specially recommended cadets will now be accepted in the fourth year by certain Universities in courses to which this concession was not pre- viously made. The sub-committee of the Advisory Board whose appointment I mentioned in my last report has recommended that, subject to the ap- proval of the Minister of National Defence, the present system of speciali- zation be continued for a period of 3 years so as to give it a proper trial. An Antedate of 18 months has been approved for Gentlemen Cadets joining the Imperial Forces subject to the provision that such cadets are not under 21 years of age on graduation. This year your representative on the Advisory Board was instructed to place the following matters before the Board. 1. Increased representation for the Club on this Board. The Club has now one representative and is requesting that this number be in- creased so as to include not only the President, but the Vice-President and the Past-President as well. 2. A ruling by the Civil Service Commission that graduates of recog- nised universities only would be acceptable for certain appointments within the scope of this Commission. Graduates of the R.M.C. were formerly eligible for these appointments. Since first becoming aware of this ruling, the Club has objected strongly to it and so far has obtained the modification that, if the Department offering a vacancy is agreeable, the Commission will have no objection to including R.M.C. graduates with somewhat greater experience than the graduates of a recognized University. You Executive is not satisfied with this ruling and is endea- vouring to have all graduates of the R.M.C. made eligible for such appointments. 3. Your representative on the Advisory Board has been empowered to support recommendations for the improvement of the College or its grounds and to ask that the Government define the policy which has been adopted for future expansion so as to ensure an ordered plan of development. College History. A Shortly after the last Annual Meeting we were fortunate in finding that Mr. R. L. Way, M.A., of Queen's University, was willing to commence writing the History of the Royal Military College. Mr. Way has special- ized in Canadian history and is now engaged by the Government in the reconstruction of Fort Henry and Fort Niagara. He has, moreover, been kind enough to offer to do this work without any remuneration from the Club, and access to the records of the College and to those of the Depart- ment of National Defence has been given to him. I hope that the Club will be able to assist Mr. Way in this work and suggest that this may be accomplished by contributing so far as we are able towards the expenses, JUNE, 1938 101 by collecting records, anecdotes or accounts of the life at the College and finally, by arranging for the distribution or sale of the book. Due to the additional work at Niagara which Mr. Way has assumed during this year, he has so far been unable to commence the work, but expects to do so during this summer. I have already thanked Mr. Way on behalf of the Club and wish again to make our very sincere gratitude a matter of record. Executive Committee. At the meeting held in Kingston on lst and 2nd April, 1938, the Executive Committee recommended that the Honorary Solicitor of the Club should be made an ex-officio member of the Executive Committee. This appointment has been considered necessary on account of the many occasions on which legal questions were involved. Endowment Fund. Since my report of last year Colonel Arthur L. Bishop and Lt.-Col. W. L. Gordon have also consented to act as trustees of this Fund. Colonel Gordon has suggested some alterations in the Trust Deed and our Hon. Solicitor, who is also at Trustee, will report upon these at this meeting. Employment. We were successful in placing an increased number of ex-cadets in positions during the year and hope to continue work with your co-opera- tion. The most valuable assistance is given by those ex-cadets who take the time and trouble to notify the Secretary-Treasurer where and when the vacancies will occur or new positions are offered. I wish to express my appreciation of their efforts and to ask again for the same kind of assistance. Finances. In accordance with the Resolution passed at the Annual Meeting, May, 1937, copies of the Financial Report have been distributed so that all members will have the opportunity of following this report and com- paring it with the Balance Sheets of 1935 and 1936. Deaths. I regret to report the following deaths which have occurred since our last Annual Meeting: No 30, Brig.-General Herbert M.

M. C. REVIEW Investments. The sub-committee consisting of H. E. Cochran, G. T. Cassels, C. H. Walker, Walter Gordon and J. Packham have recommended that the Club's securities be held for prices in excess of the present market. This re- commendation was confirmed again by your Committee as lately as May lst, 1938. Directory. You are again reminded that the Directory can only be kept up to date with your co-operation and assistance. Corrections, additions and alterations will soon compel us to consider a new edition. The first one proved to be so useful and popular among the members that I should like to see this question of republication referred to your incoming Executive. Before concluding my report, I wish to give, on behalf of the whole Club, our most sincere thanks to the Commandant and Staff of the Royal Military College for their unfailing kindness and assistance. To those ex-cadets who donated to the Endowment Fund, to Ex- Cadet Walter Douglas who gave the Diaz Collection to the College and to the Cflicers and Members of the Executive and Council who have loyally supported this Club, I wish to express my very real sense of obligation and gratitude. I beg to move the adoption of this report. 5. Financial Report. The President advised the meeting that a copy of the financial report for the year ending December 31st, 1937, was set out on the reverse side of the Agenda. After consideration had been given to the financial report as published it was moved by Lt.-Col. Ibbotson Leonard:- That the Financial Report be adopted and filed. -Carried.

Col. Gibson explained the purport of the changes, and it was moved by Col. Gibson and seconded by Major Everett Bristol:- That the Trust Agreement, as amended, be adopted?-Carried. Capt. D. G.

After considerable discussion it was moved by Lt.-Col. W. F. Hadley and seconded by Mr. B. M. Oslerz- That this meeting instruct the incoming Executive Committee to take up this matter with the Department of National Defence so as to ensure that in future the fullest publicity be given to the procedure and method of selecting cadets for the Royal Military College and that this Meeting goes on record as approving the suggestion that candidates be required to take written examinations rather than being recommended by the Principals or Head-Masters of the Schools at which they attend. -Carried. 13.

ANNUAL REPORT OF BRANCH CLUBS, 1938 DIONTREAL BRANCH Gentlemen : I have the honour to submit the following report on the activities of the Montreal Branch of the R.M.C. Club of Canada for the period May 15th, 1937, to May 14th, 1938. Annual Meeting - Parent Club, 1937. The Montreal Branch was represented at the Annual Meeting and Dinner last year by Messrs. E. de L. Greenwood, H. E. Vautelet, R. K. Robertson and H. C. Eberts as well as numerous other members in an unofficial capacity. The only jarring note was struck by the inability of the Branch Club President to produce a report, but full blame for this lapse was squarely thrust upon the Parent Club Executive by the simple expedient of claiming and persisting in the claim, that a copy had been duly mailed to Toronto in accordance with instructions, and that the Honorary Secretary must have mislaid it. Social Activities- Beer and Oyster Party. On October 29th, 1937, the Club entertained as its guests some ten members of the Senior Class, who were then in Montreal on leave, at a Beer and Oyster Party held in the Highlanders' Mess. This party, as usual, was well attended, but it was noted with some regret that the qua- lity of the oysters served was in inverse ratio to the high spirits of those 108 R. M. C. REVIEW present. When some slight complaint was registered, the executive, with renewed adroitness, put on a display of buck passing which is felt to be unequalled by any cadet past or present. As yet the responsibility has been attached to no one. Annual Dinner. The Annual Dinner was held this year on April 30th at the Montreal Hunt Club, and was marked by a smaller turnout than was expected, only 74 being present, and by the excellent quality of the entertainment sup- plied by our local perennials. The former was undoubtedly due to the present transient recession which seems to have smitten all, both high and low, but those who were forced to be absent have good cause for regret. A radio scenario of a very topical nature composed by Messrs. Crowe and Gill and staged by Evan Gill and troupe had the diners rolling on the floor, and it is to be regretted that these artists could not be in- duced to perform at the Annual Dinner in Kingston. The Club was for- tunate in having as its guests the Commandant and B.S.M. but unfortun- ately Messrs. Tiff Macklem and George Magann after having accepted our invitation were unable to be present. Annual Meeting. ,The Annual Meeting was convened on January 11th, 1938, in the Officers' Mess of the Victoria Rifles of Canada, and was well attended. With customary dispatch, the minutes, annual statement, President's report and slate of Officers were disposed of and approved without dissent. The Oflicers elected for the current year are: Hon. President-Col. F. M. Gaudet, C.M.G. President-Major H. E. Vautelet, A.D.C. Vice-President-Capt. L. M. Chesley. Sec.-Treasurer-Lt. C. M. Drury. The members of the Executive Committee elected to replace out- going members are: Capt. A. S. Rutherford. Lt. J. Caron. Lt. E. W. Crowe. Major E. de L. Greenwood, ex-officio. Finances. As a result of a series of deficits in the past, and in order to build up a reserve for the future, it was decided to increase the Annual Branch Club Dues for members whose classes graduated more than ten years ago from one dollar to two dollars. This move met with some not unexpected disapproval, but it was recognized as being in the best interests of all. The total paid memberships of the Branch Club now stands at 147 as compared with 160 at the end of last year, but the treasury is in a much healthier state. Delegates to the General Council. As delegates to the General Council, apart from the President, Vice- President, and immediate Past President, the following were elected: Major H. C. Eberts. Lt. K. H. Tremain. Lt. N. L. C. Mather. In conclusion, I desire to express on behalf of the Montreal Branch our sincere apppreciation of the work done in the past year by the Officers and Executive of the Parent Club, and to extend our best wishes for a successful year to the incoming Officers and Committee. H. E. VAUTELET, President, R.M.C. Club of Canada, Montreal Branch. JUNE, 1.938 109 LONDON BRANCH The two major activities in London consisted of the entertaining of the R.M.C. football team in September on the occasion of their game with the University of Western Ontario. This took the form of a dinner dance at the London Hunt Club in which approximately 90 guests, cadets and ex-cadets took part. The annual meeting was on April 9th at which there was an attend- ance of thirty-five. We were glad to have the President of the Club and Mr. Packham of Toronto with us. The following executive was elected for this branch:- Honorary President-Col. I. Leonard. Honorary Vice-President-Major A. A. Anderson. President-H. R. Harris. Vice-President-Col. G. Kerr. Secretary-Treasurer-T. A. DuMoulin. Assistant Secretary-Treasurer-G. H. Gillespie. Corresponding Secretaries-O. D. Cowan, Chatham. D. C. McDonald, Windsor. L. H. Fraser, Sarnia. A. F. M. Wilson, Kitchener. The following were appointed to the General Council:- H. R. Harris. P. A. DuMoulin. Col. G. Kerr. G. H. Gillespie. At the present time we have thirty-one paid up members. P. A. DUMOULIN, Secretary Local Branch. HALIFAX BR.ANCH The Annual Report of activities of our branch are brief. In the sum- mer of 1937 we were royally entertained at a dance given by those cadets taking the navy course here. At our annual meeting it was decided that if at all possible we would do something for these twenty-odd cadets this summer, possibly to take the form of a small dance. D. V. RAINNIE, Hon. Secretary-Treasurer, CHalifax Branchb. NEW YORK BRANCH The first meeting of the season was held Oct. 27 in the Planter's Restaurant, 124 Greenwich Street. Present were No. 1006, W. W. Turn- bull, No. 1390, G. L. Fortin, No. 1421, A. G. Osborne, No. 1291, Guy Carr-Harris, No. 886, F. E. Gendron, No. 1417, D. H. Alexander, No. 1479, G. C. Hurdman, No. 964, R. E. White, No. 1877, R. G. C. Smith, and No. 1772, F. D. Anderson. Plans were adopted then for the inclusion, for the first time, of an R.M.C. table at the annual Armistice Day luncheon of the Canadian Club. Accordingly on Nov. 11 the following attended the affair in the Wal- dorf-Astoria: Mr. and Mrs. Turnbull, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and G. L. Fortin. The idea, fostered by Mr. Gendron, proved a success. Gendron, ofc publicity for the club, was unable to join the College group. 110 R.M.C. REVIEW The annual meeting of the branch took place in the Planter's Res- taurant on Jan. 21. It was proposed by No. 1421, A. G. Osborne, and seconded by No. 1765, J. W. Thornton, that the officers be re-elected. They were: No. 1006, W. W. Turnbull, president, No. 886, F. E. Gendron, vice-president, No. 1877, R. G. C. Smith, secretary-treasurer, No. 1772, F. D. Anderson, corresponding secretary, and an executive committee including No. 1390, G. L. Fortin, and No. 1222, E. F. Howard. The forth- coming visit of the College hockey team to West Point was discussed and a new policy introduced. It was considered advisable to offer the Staff Adjutant, Lieut.-Col. C. R. S. Stein, and the cadets themselves a choice between the traditional Canadian club dinner with a sightseeing tour later and something entirely different along the line of Broadway entertainment. The club was in- formed that the cabaret dinner would be an acceptable change. A group from the branch travelled to the United States Military Aca- demy, West Point, for the annual hockey game. The members were, No. 1006, W. W. Turnbull, No. 1694, G. L. MacDonald, No. 1390, G. L. Fortin, No. 1291, Guy Carr-Harris, No. 1152, G. B. Brown, No. 1159, E. P. Ryan, No. 2050, J. A. McCuaig, and No. 1877, R. G. C. Smith. Next day, Sun- day, March 6, the College party of nineteen was met at the Paradise Cabaret Restaurant, Broadway and Forty-ninth Street, by Turnbull, For- tin and Smith who represented the club as hosts. Following dinner and the floor show, the R.M.C. visitors proceeded to the Radio City Music Hall show until time for entraining at 11.25 p.m. No. 1772, F. D. ANDERSON, Corresponding Secretary. OTTAWA BRANCH The Annual meeting of the R.M.C. Club, Ottawa Branch, was held at the Rideau Club on Saturday, February 5th, 1938. Twenty-four members were present. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and passed, moved by Major John Lyon and seconded by Keith Davidson. The financial statement was read and adopted, moved by Major Lyon, seconded by G. F. Maclaren. The present slate of oflicers were requested to co-operate for another year, moved by N. O. Carr and seconded by J. D. Watt. The Branch Secretary was requested to communicate with the parent club with regard to the club tie, to ascertain the correct design and if the tie could be sold through the parent or branch clubs and absorb any profit in their sale, instead of having it go to the retailers. Considerable discussion took place about the possibility of bringing the cadets to Ottawa for a military tournament in May of this year. A sub-committee of Messrs. Col. Hadley, Hamilton, Ridout, Blue, London, Wurtele was appointed to investigate the various angles and the Branch Secretary was asked to write the Commandant to find out if his approval could be secured. Instead of entertaining the cadets at a luncheon or dinner it was proposed by Major Wait and seconded by Col. Hadley that a cocktail party be held during the cadets' Easter holidays. There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 3.00 p.m. JUNE, 1.938 111 QUEBEC BRANCH Oct. 26, 1937-Smoker. Nov. 29, 1937-Turkey Shoot and Oyster Supper. Most successful. Dec. 22, 1937 -Annual Lunch. Visiting cadets were the guests of the Branch. Jan. 19, 1938 -- Annual General Meeting. Moving pictures. Feb. 3, 1933-Moving pictures of College activities. Parents of cadets from Quebec were invited. R. L. SMYTH, President, Quebec Branch. TORONTO BRANCH The Toronto Branch Club held its annual meeting on January 22nd, 1933, and elected the following officers: President-E. C. Goldie. Vice-President-C. H. Walker. HOD. SGC.-TfE3.S.-JOl'1I1 White. Asst. Sec.-Treas.-C. R. Archibald. Committee to General Council-W. M. Pearce, E. C. Goldie, C. H. Walker, John White, John G. Osler. The Club's financial statement for the year 1937 compares favourably with previous years, showing assets of 34,306.22 as at the year end. Although the paid-up members for 1937 were only 128 in number, the turn out to Club functions, including beer and oyster parties and the annual dinner, was very satisfactory. The Club is glad to report that it was able at the beginning of this year to donate a set of drums to the College orchestra, and later to con- tribute toward the purchase price of a radio for the College hospital. It is with deep regret that the Club notes the death of General Dennison, one of its members and one of the Old Eighteen. The Club had great pleasure in having the Commandant, Lt.-Col. Grant, and the B.S.M., as its guests at the annual dinner in March, and appreciated Lt.-Col. Grant's remarks to the full. -No. 2009, JOHN WHITE. if fx E J . 1 ll' . A +1 -2 -- - it l--.WHFW A., Q .

Review Advertising Sectvow A Policy of Accomplislzmenf Those who rest on their laurels find that green leaves quickly wither, and those who pause in their activity to boast soon dis- cover that progress has outstripped them. A policy of accomplishment-constant research, design and development-has been the keynote on which the Canadian Ingersoll-Rand Company has based its operations during more than half a cen- tury. Particularly has this been emphasized in engineering' applied to CIRCO pneu- matic equipment-the improvement of air compressors already regarded as standards of efficiency, and the development and wide application of pneumatic tools and appliances too numerous to mention. They have cut costs and speeded the tempo of production in every industry. The name Canadian Ingersoll-Rand is the Company's only slogan. It is recog- nized by Canadian industry as the trade- mark of reliable, economical equipment. - Canadlan Vacuum Pumps pumps BM II eIZS'0ll Rna.Ild LC ima C e Se'S Hoists urn e Mining Machinery Rofk DHHS head ofHce -MONTREAL QUE. --l works-SHERBROOKE QUE.

' pp: . .X AM' ,N , VISIT OF OUR KING AND QUEEN N Sunday, May 21, 1939, the Royal Military College of Canada had the unprecedented honour of a visit from Their Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. It was the greatest day in the history of the College and in the lives of those who were privileged to be present, even though the unfeeling elements had delayed the arrival of Their Majesties in Canada and curtailed their visit to Kingston. The Cadet Battalion, with the Colours, was drawn up on the south side of the Square, with the Commandant and senior officers in front, on the north side of the Square, the remainder of the Staff, with their wives and grown up daughters, stood in a long line in front of the main buildings, while on the west side of the Square were a few of the relations of the Staff. The Royal Standard was in readiness to be broken, the floodlights were turned on, as the light faded, and in the distance could be heard the cheers as the Royal Procession crossed the Causeway and proceeded round Fort Henry. Watchful waiting, with lumps in some of our throats, was the order of the day. About 8.40 p.m. the pilot car slid quietly into the Square and then, in an almost weird silence, in contrast to the cheers outside, our King and Queen drove slowly into our midst, just as the red coats were fading into sombreness and only the white helmets were gleaming in the twi- light. We waited in great trepidation, for a few moments after the Royal Salute had been given-would They alight or were They too tired at this late hour? Then, and if it had been correct, everyone would have cheered himself hoarse, we saw that Their Majesties were actually getting out of their car, never too tired to do what would please their loyal subjects. The Commandant, after his own presentation, at once presented the General Staff Officer, the Senior Professor, the Chief Instructor, the Staff 12 R.M.C. REVIEW Adjutant, the B.S.M. and the six C.S.M.'s to both the King and Queen. Again we waited anxiously to see if that would conclude the Royal Visit, and again our hearts leaped up as we saw His Majesty, accompanied by the B.S.M., followed by the Commandant and Equerry, and preceded by the Chief Instructor and Staff Adjutant, begin to inspect the Cadet Bat- talion, for the first time in our history. At that moment 200 cadets were made the happiest young men in the- Dominion. It was probably an unparalleled circumstance for His Majesty to make an inspection in the last flickering moments of twilight. To crown all, Her Gracious Majesty, and never was the epithet more appropriate, asked if she might have presented to her the remainder of the Staff and their wives and daughters. As the General Staff Officer called out the names, the Queen walked down the long line, not only shaking hands but pausing for an appreciable moment before each and every one, and so sixty more were made prouder and happier than they had ever been before. Night had fallen when the Royal Procession moved off about 9 p.m., and circled the Square. The Royal Salute was again given as Their Majesties passed in front of the- Cadet Battalion, and then helmets were doffed and three cheers, both rousing and heartfelt, resounded from the Square, in response to which the King raised his hat and the Queen waved her hand as they drove slowly out of the inner enclosure. So far as the College was concerned the- greatest day in its history had ended, and though darkness had descended on the land, peace and happiness had descended on the R.M.C. through the kindness and graciousness of our beloved King and Queen. The following members of the Staff and gentlemen-cadets had the honour of be-ing presented: Brigadier H. D. G. Crerar, D.S.O., Mrs. Crerar and Miss Peggy Crerar, Lt.-Col. L. C. Goodeve, D.S.O., Professor L. N. Richardson, Mrs. Richardson and Miss Anne Richardson, Lt.-Col. K. C. Burness, M.C., and Mrs. Burness, Lt.-Col. C. R. S. Stein and Mrs. Stein, Professor W. R. P.

Though never before have we had the supreme hon- our of welcoming a reigning Sovereign, we have been singularly fortunate in having had the distinction of the presence of the King's father, when Prince George, his brother, when Prince of Wales, his great aunt, H.R.H. Princess Louise, Ctwiceb and his great uncle, H.R.H. The Duke of Connaught Cthree timesj. Nor must we forget that it was His great- grandmother, Queen Victoria, who conferred the title of HI-Royal upon us. if PS1 :lf :if As usual it is too early to say much about the academic work of the year, that will be better known, when this is in print, but it does seem as if, -every year, the standard were getting a little bit higher, and 'this appears to be happening in most places of learning. With our diversified programme of work it is to be hoped that we shall never become a college where, as Lord Baldwin said, There is no greater danger lurking in the path of a student, who is just setting out on a career, than that of acquiring a single-track mind. The College Library serves as a good criterion of hard work, and there is no doubt that it is being used more for serious reading, from year to year, and there is no doubt that we should have better and more extensive quarters. 214 :lf 34 Though we may not have won so many matches in our various sports as we have in some former years, yet we have got just as much good out of the games as ever, and it is for that reason that we play them. We were proud to lose the International Hockey Match to such sporting and persevering opponents as the United States Military Academy. 14 R. M. C. REVIEW The College grounds have been greatly improved this spring, par- ticularly those parts lying between the Administrative Building and the Physics Laboratory, where an untidy back-yard has taken on'the appear- ance of a well kept garden. The rebuilding of the St. Lawrence and the Bathing wharves has been long due, and the appearance now, of our eastern waterfront is very neat and shipshape and will no doubt be much appreciated at the June Ball. The Royal Visit naturally occasioned a regular orgy of painting, both within and without, and never has the old College looked finer. The change for the better in the Sir Arthur Currie Hall, after its first spring-cleaning, must be seen to be appreciated. Dk ik Pls Pk The EX-Cadet week-end was a great success and largely attended, coinciding as it always does now, with the meeting of the Advisory Board. The march off the Square of the EX-Cadet Battalion to the Ser- vice at the Memorial Arch was as touching as ever. No. 299, Colonel H. J. Lamb, D.S.O., V.D., took the salute from over one hundred ex-cadets, and No. 1860, Captain Nicol Kingsmill was just as capable as an adjutant as he is as Honorary Secretary-Treasurer of the R.M.C. Club. The Service at the Arch was taken by No. 1394, the Rev. S. W. Williams. The dinner in the evening which was graced by the presence of the Advisory Board and the Chiefs of the three Services, Army, Navy and Air, brought forth the usual excellent speeches. P14 as X if It is with great regret that we have to record the death of one more of The Old Eighteen, No. 8, Frederick Davis. A short obituary will be found on another page of this issue. It is sad to think that only five of the Old Criginals now remain. o OUR FRONTISPIECE Our frontispiece is taken from a signed portrait which His Majesty King George VI has been graciously pleased to present to the College. The letter from the Secretary to the Governor-General to the Commandant, accompanying the portrait. closed with the following words :- As the King has made presents of pictures to Sandhurst, Wool- wich and Dartmouth, he wishes to do the same for Kingston. I have been asked to send this to you with His Majesty's best wishes. JUNE, 1939 15 STAFF NOTES. Births WALSH-On Tuesday, March 7, 1939, at Kingston, Ont., to No. 1941, Captain G.

R. P. B. JUNE, 193.9 2468, BATTALION SERGEANT-MAJOR MICHAEL DESMOND MacBRIEN. Born, Camberley, England, August 5th, 1917. School: Ashbury College. Mike came to Canada at the age of two and soon he set his heart on the MacBrien tradition of a spectacular R.M.C. career. In preparation he became head boy at Ashbury and gained an excellent grounding in practically all sports. -During his recruit year Mike started out on the first rugby team, but had to abandon rugby owing to a head injury. He recovered in time to play first team hockey which he has done ever since. In his third class year and in his senior year he played first soccer and went to Montreal on the track team as the college pole vaulter. In his first three years he was a most aggressive member of every possible E Company team. This year Michael has captained a very fine hockey team. He won crossed clubs in his recruit year and wore them till his second class year, when he changed them for crossed swords. One of the best riders in the class, he has won crossed whips and in turn his spur. In our second class year he became senior lance-corporal. Mike spent two rather unfortunate summers at Camp Borden with the signals. However. he learned a great deal about I.C. engines, especially the greasier regions, and he acquired a great respect for Henry Ford. This last summer he spent mucking at Hollnor mine, and returned with ambitions in mining and a love of the North Country. Specializing in mining this year Mike has been fascinated by the contortions of the earth's crust and is always eager to discuss them even with such social outcasts as the Gobe1ins. He is also working for a non-permanent air force com- mission. No matter what his career, Michael is assured of success if he turns to it the same energy which he has brought to all his work at the college. L. H. B. R. M. C. REVIEW 2440, C.S.M. LINDSAY HUGH BROWN. Born, Ottawa, July 17th, 1916. Schools: Lisgar C.I., Brockville C.I. Mix Brown, have you started your afternoon nap yet? By virtue of his system of selective studying Lin has always found time to catch up on his sleep, yet maintain his position in the class. He gained his first glory as a riiieman on the Proclamation parade in our recruit year, but quickly changed from this slippery weapon. Picking up a T-square and a pair of dividers he solved the puzzles of our courses in Civil En- gineering to stand fourth, third and second so far, winning a star in his third class year. He played second team football for two years, managed first the junior and then the senior teams, and ended last season on the first team. Always an ace in the gym, his high bar and mat work brought him crossed swords and crown this year to top his crossed clubs. He also wears crossed rifles and the Lewis gun badge and crown. After his personality and ability to direct had brought him two stretches as class senior, he was rewarded with a LlfCpl's stripe last spring, and he earned for this year the rank of senior C.S.M. Under his guidance, B Coy., has weathered the storms of the year with great success. After two summers in the Signals, one in mining, and a great interest in school teachers, he has decided to become a civil engineer. YVe wish you the best of luck, Lin. P T N 2472, C.S.M.

M. that imbued in him the quality of leadership that later earned him several terms as Class Senior. May-Day 1938, saw Philip with Lance Corporal's braid on his collar. In athletic activities Pip has had a varied and enviable role. The Soccer team has pivoted about him at centre-half for four seasons. Last Fall, as well-deserved captain, he led the team to their second consecutive Dominion Intercol- legiate championship. Two years on the Junior Basketball squad, and two as an efficient guard on the senior team, two years with the Squash team and one with the Harriers, and four years as an ardent C Coy. athlete have all combined to leave Pip little time to reconsider, Notwithstanding, he has always maintained a high rank in academic seniority Cdespite many week-ends in Hamilton and Montreall and bears on his left arm Crossed 'Guns and a Layer's Badge. A summer at Petawawa with the R.C.E. engendered in Pip the desire for further know- ledge about F.B.E., SQ.B.G'.B1., etc. But, foli- saking Canada, he is loo-king forward to a com- mission with the R.E.

Bob's ability to give and take was seen dur- ing a lengthy and successful term of office as 2-fic fourth class. At the end of his 3rd class year he moved from B Coy, where he got the start that netted him his first stripe, to A Coy. which he now leads with the four stripes. Halifax and the Navy opened their hatches to Tayl in the summer' of '36, and welcomed him back for the next two summers. Among his athletic achievements., he is a runner of some repute. Excelling at the longer distances he has been a member of the college cross country team, track team, and twice a member of the Lafferty Cup team. He played junior rugby and basketball during his first two years, and then graduated to senior company. First team rating has made him ineligible for most inter-company competition except in the case of hockey where he has seen four good seasons. On his arm he wears crossed clubs and crossed swords as a recognition of his gym- nastic ability. Always a top-notcher, his class standing has not wavered in the four years, in spite of the fact that he took to Chemistry in his final year. To the Ordnance we lose an A-I cadet and they gain a first class chemist and soldier. G. B. S. 2486, C.S.M. GERALD BARCLAY SNOW. Born, Ottawa, June 27, 1916. Schools: Westmouirt High, Brantford Col- legiate Institute. Ever since he joined E Coy. in his recruit year Jerry has played a leading role in sports. He has represented the college on the senior basketball team for four years, being captain this year, the junior rugby team for one year and for the p-ast two years has been a kicking half on the senior squad. During his third class year Jerry played on the senior soccer team, and this year he also made the track team. His skill in the gym. was rewarded by Crossed Clubs in his recruit year, Crossed Swords and Crown in his second class year, and Crossed Swords this year. In addition he also wears a layers badge. He was class senior for a part of all our classmen years and ended his second class year as a lance cpl. This year found him with the well deserved stripes of C.S.M., -and he has directed E Coy. through a very successful year. Jerry plans to enter the R.C.A.F. on graduation and intends to specialize in aeronau- tical engineering. We have- no doubt that his all- round abilities and engaging personality will carry him to the top, and the class join with me in wishing him the very best of every- thing. R. J. H. R. M. C.

During his stay at the College, Bob has put in two years on the junior rugby team, and three on the senior squad which he captained this year. As a side line he swings a badminton rac- quet. His prowess in this sport is indicated by the fact that he was one of the winners of the St. 'Lawrence and District Senior Doubles Cham- pionship last year. Besides those sports in which he has specialized Inter-Comp-any events have always found him present and taking an active part. Three of his summers were spent, we are told, very pleasantly in an atmosphere of salt Water and naval guns at Halifax. Bob's ability as a leader could not go un- noticed, and a stripe appeared on his collar last spring. The fone blossomed into four, and this year he led D Coy. through a very suc- cessful season. A number of the General and Military option, he has trained himself to Do it now , the Now being invariably a series of spare periods. On graduation, Hamish plans to take up Law, and next year will see him at Osgoode Hall. If he learns to swing civil law as dextrously as he can now swing standing orders, his cess is assured.

Born, Newark-on-Trent, England, November 29th, 1917. School: St. Ge-orge's, Vancouver. ' Sedley's friendly disposition and willingness to help anyone in trouble have remained with him through his four years at the College, and his abil- ity to be a leader was evident from the beginning. Academically he stands in the top half of the class, and in sports he has always been well above aver- age. Allotted to Beer Coy. in his recruit year, Sed won much ex-recruiting for his activity in all inter-company sports and was, for three years, the mainstay of the Beer rugby team. For two years he has played on the College soccer team, always giving his best. However, Sed's chief claim to fame lies in his artistic ability. His clever cartoons of college life are famous and will no doubt remain to provide humour for many generations of cadets. As a result, he is Art Editor for the Review, and heads the Artists Fatigue. His gymnastic ability has earned him crossed clubs and swords, While his spur shows that he rates amongst the best riders in the class. Sed is a man of hobbies, photography and carpentry being his chief ones. Following in his father's footsteps, Sed intends to take a commission in the R.E. We are sure you will do as good a jo-b there as you have done here, Sed. Good luck. H, S, M, JUNE, 1939 2377, CXSGT. GEORGE RICHARD CORKETT. Born, London, England, April Sth, 1916. School: Brampton High School. Very early in life the pride of Peel County disp-layed a penchant for a military career. It has been said that at the age of three Corky could explain the intricacies of the Palestine Cam- paign with a facility which would have amazed our most eminent strategists. When one wishes to know why British officers wear pink breaches. Corky is the man to go to. His career at the R.M.C. has been long and illustrious. He has played on the first rugby team for three years, and his vicious tackling has saved many a day for the College. In the billiard room he has shown great skill in sinking his opponents ball. His favourite pastime, how- ever, is sitting in a comfortable chair in a well heated room with a couple of his cronies ex- changing tales of the glorious days of the Old System. When he joins the Patricias this spring, the College will lose- an outstanding cadet and the service will gain a fine officer. J. M. S. 2482, cfscfr. JOHN MacKAY SINCLAIR.

For how could we forget his descent with the ever present skirl of the pipes through- out our recruit year. In his third class year he left the pipes for an eighteen pounder and has worn crossed guns and crown ever since. In the field of inter-coy. sports he has always been a shining light for A Coy. In his second class year he played on the second rugby team, and this year proved a vieidy efficient basketball manager. His high sense of duty, humour and ability will carry him far in his life work as an officer in the artillery. We wish him the best of luck. W. H. T. W. 2499, CXSGT. WILLIAM HENRY TUZO WILSON.

From the start his pet pastime has been sailing and he has been on the Dingy team since its inception three years ago, winning a crest in his second class year and captaining the team this year. He has played most inter- company sports and performed the many duties of hockey manager very efficiently. During the summer work or Wasaga called him to the Signals, where he apparently found a little difficulty with the Morse code. In his final year he got a little lonely for kittens so took one in as a room-mate, but he soon found one was enough. When he leaves he heads for McGill and a career in electrical engineering where- his friendly and cheery disposition will undoubtedly lead him to success. J. 0. A. R. M. C. REVIEW 2432, SGT.

Upon graduation Ken intends join- ing the R.C.E., and we wish him all success. L. G. R. V. JUNE, 1939 2492, CPL. LAWRENCE GARRETT REID VIRR. Born, Ramsgate, England, April 13, 1917. School-Lisgar Collegiate Institute. P'itter came to us from 'Ottawa, and at first glance appeared to be a natural horseman. However, he has managed to take a few spills chiefly, we think, because the horses object to a second girth. He won early fame in his rook year for his giant swings on the tub in the early morn. During his four years here he has keenly supported E Coy. in all sports, particularly football and soccer. He has taken a good interest in his work and has shown the way in gunnery, winning the Layers badge and crown. His sum- mers have been spent with the Signals at Borden and in Stomping at Chaffeysv. Upon gradua- tion his good nature and popularity are sure to add greatly to his success in the R.C.A.F., and we all join in wishing him the best of luck. A. S. E. S. 2422, CPL. ALFRED STUART ENNIS SMITH. Born, Bozeman, Mont., January 28th, 1915. Schools: Summerside High School, Kings Collegiate, Windsor, N.S. After a famous Christmas Dance a rather worn and haggard Snuffie replied to a query as to the cause of his misery. What sort of a Christmas am I going to have. I failed four exams and my brother's a Rhodes Scholar . Sufice it to say that Snuf is doing it the hard way. He began his sentence in HE Coy. way back in the dim and distant past, then emi- grated across the square. but returned to the Middle East Vaterlandf' for his final year Wherever he has been he has turned in valuable service for his Company in football, soccer, and basketball. Apart from Company sports he did very creditably in the second team backfield until forced out of the game by injuries. The R.C.E. or Patricia's will get a splendid young officer in A.S.E.S. G. R. C. 2471, CPL. HUGH SYDNEY MORRISEY. Born, London, England, Nov. 17th, 1917. School: Trinity College School. Shortly after his arrival at 'the college Mickey's impersonation of one of Walt Disney's characters earned him the nickname which has remained with him ever since. Armed with a cheery smile Mickey has always taken a 'very activeinterest in college activities. His play- ing in inter-company games has been a great boon to Beer Company for the last four years, while his fondness for committees has enabled him to represent the class on several occasions. Hugh spent his first two summers with the Navy, but last summer after several visits to 'the junk yard, managed to drive to the west coast in what he found. After graduation Mickey is going to become a gunner in the land of his birth and we are sure- that his indomitable spirit will bring him success. K. R. W. R. M. C. REVIEW 2495, CPL. KENNETH ROY WARD. Born, Kingston, November 1, 1918. School: K. C. V. I. The Germans seemed on the verge of collapse when on November first, Kingston was rocked on its foundations. It wasn't the army of invasion, however, but merely Ken Ward introducing him- self with lusty howls. Ken grew up as one of the K.C.V.I. boys and eventually fell in love with a pill box, red tunic and leggings. Happy go lucky and care free, he drifted into the grounds with the rest of us in August '35. He soon showed a Weakness for arm badges, col- lecting more while here than any one else in the class. Among them are the Layers, 'Lewis Gun, Whips and Spur, Crossed Guns, and Crossed Rifles. During the summers he has spent some time in the navy and some time with the O.M.E.'s. After due consideration he decided in favor of the latter and is now taking a commission in the R.C.OC. Best wishes from us all, Ken. J. A. S. 2487, CPL. JOHN AVERY STAIRS. Born, Folkestone, England, Dec. 20th, 1917. Schools: Ashbury College, Ottawa. Institute Quinche Lausanne, Switzerland. .From the outset, Shag amazed us all in three particulars, his staggering mastery of mathematics, his ability to sleep through any- thing and his ability to out-argue anybody about anything. In his rook year, Shag made the Cross-Country Team as well as lending a help- ing hand in Inter-Company Sports. Sleeping through lectures did not prevent him from al- ways ranking high in the class or from taking several prizes. In the summer after his recruit year he joined the boys for the Halifax Holi- day and was only prevented from continuing the course by pneumonia the following summer. Be- ing a born radical Shag has been in his element among the G. Sz Ms this year, spending hours explaining to everybody the intricacies of the isms . Shag leaves us to join the R.S.A.S.C. and we know he will do well. J. H. P. 2477, CPL. JOHN HAROLD PIERCE. Born, Toronto, Ont., September 22nd, 1916. School: Humberside Collegiate Institute. Late in the month of August, 1933, Jack first became acquainted with the R.M.C. From the first he has been well liked by everyone and during the time that he has been at the College he has been awarded a place on the Junior Rugby Team for two years. Throwing the javelin for the Track Team and being an active sailor for the Sailing Team and managing it the next year are among his many accomplishments. Jack has been busy taking the Mining Option this year but at present he is not just certain what he wants to follow as a career. The possibility of his becoming a policeman in some distant part of the Empire seems most likely. What- ever you do, Jack, whether policeman or not, the best wishes of the class for your succesTs.M S JUNE, 1.939 2430, CPL. JOHN McCLEMENT SMITH. Born, Toronto, Ont., December 9th, 1916. School: North Toronto Collegiate Institute. Black Jack had a busy recruit year between a thriving beard and the resulting C.B. Hence he decided that another attempt, under more favourable conditions would do no harm, and joined the class of '39. Smitty has always been a quiet, friendly chap, noted for his puns, and a diligent student. He has spent most of his time in A Company and has been an ardent supporter of inter-company sports, particularly soccer. Last fall he was well away as a first team soccer player, but an unfortunate injury put him out of the game for the season. Jack doesn't think a great deal of horses-- Boza in particular--but his ability in the gymnasium more than makes up for this. He hopes to build roads and bridges some day, and so has chosen the C. E. Course this year, and intends to finish at Queen's next year. Good luck Jack. T. F. S. 2483, CPL. THOMAS FERDINAND SLATER. Born, Hamilton, Ont., May 30th, 1918. School: Cathedral High School, Hamilton. On August 28th, 1935, in the Second Class Rec. Room sat a boy with skin so fair . But under the exacting army regulations Ferd soon grew a beard, as was noticed on parade one Sunday morning For three years Ferd was in HB Coy., and while there was instrumental in upholding his company's success in sailing. He is an enthusiastic and good rider. This year Ferdinand the Bull migrated to C Coy., and as manager of the company basketball team he did much towards the team's success. He chose the Mining Option, and in competition for the Tech-Hughes Scholarship he will spend the sum- mer at the Lamaque mines. His future will be decided by the result of this, but whatever you do, Ferd, we know you'll make good, and we wish you all the best. D. A. G. B. 2436, CPL. DAVID ARDAGH GODFREY BIRD. Born, Toronto, Ont., Jan. 24, 1917. School: Llakeiield Prep. The Admiral arrived at the College in the fall of 1935 and took up his abode in C Coy. where he has been ever since. One of the high- lights of his second class year was the trans- position of C. Coy from the Stone Frigate Dor- mitory to the Coronation Wing of Fort Fred- erick. Soon after his arrival at the College., Dave began to show his prowess with the dinghies and this year he has been an able vice- captain of the Sailing team. He has also found time to captain the Sandhurst Rifle team. Dur- ing his senior year the Admiral has consorted with the Goblins and has absorbed an abund- ance of chemical knowledge. He is headed for a Chemical Engineering career and if his diligent work here is any criterion, Dave will soon be at the top. The best of luck from all of us, Admiral! G. R. S. R. M, C. REVIEW 2423, CPL. GEORGE RODDICK SMITH. Born, Camrose, Alberta, July 15th, 1915. School: Westdale Collegiate, Hamilton. Rod joined the College in September, 1934, and has spent the last five years in Kingston. During those five years he has managed to leave his mark on the College sports records. As a member of the track teams of '35 and '38 and the LaHerty Cup team of '38 he proved his mettle. Rod is also the proud possessor of a spur and crown. Those of us who spent our re- cruit year with him in F company will never forget his heated soap-box orations in whi-ch he vehemently upheld his politics in the face of overwhelming odds. Academically Smitty seems to have had his share of trouble, but we feel sure that Lady Luck will be good to him in the future. We understand that he is going into Petroleum Engineering and hopes to develop fully the Alberta fields. Good luck be with you Rod , be careful that Social Credit does not get you. L. A. 2370, CPL. LEONARD ATACK. Born, Manchester, England, December 14th, 1915. School: Kingston Collegiate Institute. Blimey is another of the boys that was in- fected with the Russian five year plan and joined the class in the fall of 34. His early life in England has stood him in good stead for Soccer, having played for the College since his coming here in 34. The result of his many sum- mers at Petawawa with the Kingston battery is shown by the Layer's badge and Crown that he wears. His cheerfulness and good humour have made him very popular during his stay with us. This year Blimey is following a course of his own in Metallurgy and intends to go on into Petroleum engineering in Alberta when he gradu- ates. Best of luck to you Cherub. J. C. V. B. 2372, CPL. JOHN CHARLES VICTOR BISHOP Born, Montreal, P.Q., Dec. 5th, 1917. Schools: Selwyn House, Westmount High. Bish joined us in our recruit year, having decided to take the long course. Since that time he has continually been in the limelight, occas- ionally for good and at other times for worse. However, his unfailing good humour at times of stress has always pulled him through. He played Junior Hockey 1935, and Senior Soccer 1937 and 1938, although these activities on Col- lege teams were merely a sideline compared with his accomplishments in the Inter-Company field. Outstanding in Rugby, Hockey, Basketball and Aquatics for five years, F , C , and then B Companys have much to thank him for. Crossed rifles and spur with crowns add to his achieve- ments. We wish you good luck in Civil at Mc- Gill, Bish . M. D. M. JUNE, 193.9 35 THE FLEETING YEARS, 1935-1939 RECRUIT YEAR .... and that's the Memorial Arch, d'you see? Does anyone know what's on top of it? Swimming parade, P.T., Weapon Training, Fort Frederick basement-The Black Hole was less monotonous and easier on the constitution. The strange appearances and reintroductions after the first haircuts laid us bare-the lore of the gentle arts of flat orderly, bar- rack orderly, bootroom orderly, orderly room. The fog and filthy air of the lower lecture room with seven giants hovering over us like Harpies ready to swoop on the unwary. Our true initiation into College ways when we fought our way through the slime of the Obstacle Race, and ran up front in the Cross-Country while the seniors strolled along at the back. The sweating strain of rifles and choking collars at the Armistice Parade where our steadiness and condition were excelled only by a 'troop of Girl Guides. The mysteries of the exams. Fatigues, rusty bed springs, hours of brushing, the reward of music and soft lights. Then home for three great weeks of Christmas, stuff, bluff and fluff. With those seventeen days of respite behind us we settled down to 'a dark dreary term. In retrospect it shows many a silver lining. The unfailing appearance of Turney at the top of the stairs in the Fort. C Coy is wanted on the flat right away. The only way we could keep warm in the Frigate till the snow had gone. Sag received his biggest kick due to our social activities within our sanctuary. Break-off with its Somebody here. H-, duty, bath, became a highly skilled performance. The freezing wind amid endless shovelling on Captain Snow's outdoor rink, used perhaps once all year. The sale of rusty cannon balls, so we were accused. Staff Adjutant's house versus Power house. Paddy Leask asking for a stamp to post the duties with-their memory will linger long. The King is dead, long live the King. The evening of -January 26th will always be associated with a parade we are now proud 'to reflect on, but the Proclamation Parade, Ca twice dropped rifle with official recog- nition for one and unofficial recognition for alll was different. The sight of an armband will ever recall certain announcements: Two inches above the elbow, around the neck, four fingers above the meniscus , and of course sleeves were many times sewn together before our 'technique developed. Then came the scourge of all rooks , Lance-jacks. There were two, then four. Could we stand more? Yes, we returned from Easter leave with yet two more to haunt us from shadowy corners. Theirs was 'the peculiar power of appearing in several places at the same time, for on Infantry each recruit could swear he was surrounded by single stripes. Perhaps thoughts of second class N.C.O.s will always recall 'to one of our jeune francais his record-breaking interoompany fiight from the middle plaza to F Coy when he heard Get moving . St. Pa.trick's Day brought the Cake Walk, Basin Street Blues amid the settling of old scores by fist and snowball. The next thing we knew it was Spring. Cedar Island. We really meant to study. The final block was heralded by ever increasing circles under one's eyes, and Do not disturb signs on seniors' doors. Pathetic apparitions of men Q5 X X is x x RW 5 X , 1 2, O Q i 'l -: 3' .:.1.5:5E55'g JUNE, 1939 37 would appear each morning vaguely mumbling Bernoulli , and other foreign sounds which had never before assailed our inexperienced ears. In such an hour of need we stood by them firmly and often -explained the mysteries of log tables to them. Splash! Old Man Exams was dunked along with at least one new tunic and we were virtually third classmen, most of us. The Mounted Sports and the Governor-General's assent to a June Ball. R.S.M. Jake had again prophesied correctly. Headline! War-weary Petawawa to be invaded by fresh troops, Lafayette, nous sommes ici. Raise, strike, break, rake, handle low, and over you go. Pay attention these lines. Men will, asyouwere, men will not. Reveille will be between 0001 hours and 2359 hours at a time to be announced later. There was a twelve mile march Cwith precipitat- ing humidityj for fun. That's the Infantry spirit. The battles that year were fierce and bloody, so were the flies, but of all the gory sights a kilt-ed officer's knees were the goriest. We had T.E.W.T.'s CW-with or without! but the results of our raids and with- drawals were never known. To whom belonged the spoils of victory, Eastland or Westland? After five days at 'the front we entrained, as all true soldiers do, only to find the unconsumed portions of the day's rations confronting us, a meal gratis from the government. Saturday morning, completing fatigues. Exam. results posted. Then and there some of the best left us. Collins Bay, Copper Sunday, Guard, picnics-a heterogeneous mixture. OUR last parade as recruits. For our seniors it was their final bond with College days. We saw 'them go. Our 'throats were tight. The June Ball, need it be described. We walked the square at mid- night. We were third classmen. THIRD CLASS YEAR It was with a mixed feeling of regret and curiosity that we returned to the college as Third Classmen in the fall of 1936. We were sorry to leave behind us the freedom of summe-r leave, and yet the 'thought of a Third Classman's life after the trials and 'tribulations of 'the recruit year helped to make up for it. As we expected it was -difficult to adjust ourselves to our newly acquired privileges. Many times during the first few weeks we found ourselves on the verge of answering the recruit call of a former Lance-Corporal. It was with a feeling of apprehension that we walk-ed the square. However, it did not take us long to lose that hunted feeling and to assume the more dignified manners of the Third Class. The first few weeks were spent in learning the myste-rious methods of survey, in erecting shear legs for the M. E. department, -or in planning campaigns against an imaginary enemy. The Aquatic Sports was the first athletic event to claim our attention. Brown and Brownlee :raised the class' prestige by placing high in the swimming events while Fleming turned in his customary stellar performance in the diving. About 'this time we experienced our first taste of ride and found out to our surprise that the horses knew more about it than we did. The Field and Track Sports again gave us cause to feel proud of the athletic talent in the class. Boswell won the highest honor by winning the Rainnie Bugle while MacBrien and Charles distinguished themselves in the jumping. ., ff f 95 I - ff- l I C .59 5 x9'5,..f S5 ,LP- e I W- Vff ff ' f'Af?'h1W?Z ? , A4642 .. , .

The class was well represented by Newson, Newlands, Ward and Hamilton. With only a week to go to Thanksgiving Leave, we started the indoor period. After a week of struggling with Calculus and Spherical Trigonometry we were quite prepared to enjoy the luxur- ies of leave. The term after Thanksgiving Leave will long be remembered by the class as one of the most hectic stages of our college life. Wood and Newson had taken over the guidance of the class and were doing an exceedingly line job. However, a misplaced flat orderly call annoyed some of the seniors and we immediately became R.P. for a month. While it was a blow to some of the more pleasure-loving members of the class, we managed to survive the ordeal. With Christmas exams approaching with terrifying rapidity we were subjected to our first real taste of work of the year. Everybody worried and fretted for a week and felt very much relieved when Christmas Dance fatigues started. The Christmas Dance was held in the new gymnasium for the first time and had the usual gay atmosphere. Leave commenced at noon the next day and everybody, tired but happy, le-ft for home. We returned from Christmas Leave with most of the festive spirit driven out by the thought of gloomy months of work ahead. Brown had taken over command of the class and it was soon evident that he was one of the leaders of the class. It was during this period that the episode of Stair's trousers occurred in the Chemistry laboratory. This event will be remembered by the class as one of the lighter memories of the dark months. Hockey had by now occupied the spotlight of athletic events. Our class was worthily represented on the senior team with MacBrien, Charles and Gauthier playing. The class hockey team turned in a sparkling ex- hibition by defeating the previously undefeated first class team. Inter- company hockey competition was particularly keen and more material for the senior team was developed. With the end of the hockey season we began to look forward to the West Point week-end. Unfortunately, a 'flu epidemic prevented the usual dance being he-ld at the college. However, the survivors managed to organize a dance at the LaSalle Hotel so that the week end was at least a partial success. .Blister leave came as a pleasant break, but upon our return to the collel alsoinilxgere faced with the thought of approaching exams.

We experienced the same sense of depres- sion as we watched another class march off the square. On midnight of our first real June Ball we became Second Classmen. Overnight we dropped the snappy pace of the third class and adopted the more digni- fied stroll of the second classman. We can proudly look back upon our third class year as the year which did the most to bind our class together and as the year in which the class was especially outstanding in athletics. -G. K. WADE. SECOND CLASS YEAR Summer leave was over for the second time, so we shook off our holiday mood and got down to the serious business of being a second classman. The new trend of thought was to cease worrying about wha+ the recruits were not doing this year and to going to do next year. As usual the class cenf decrease in our numbers. This, however, thot all due to tragedy since we contributed to the In Shihlhg eight of ne othe-r professions through voluntary methods.

An endless session of lec- tures and lab. reports set in, with nothing to break the monotony except the much appreciated introduction of monthly dances and a few hockey games. Sine created a small disturbance at the riding establishment by placing his right foot in the near stirrup in preparing to mount, 'thus almost obtaining the wrong outlook. Next came Easter leave and a battle with the Pink Eye- germs which enabled some to take dark glasses into wear, thus baffling professors completely as to whether 'they were asleep in their lectures or not. The first of May was scheduled to be a day of rejoicing, as the appoint- ment of ten brand new N.C.O.'s was to take effect then, Lance Corporals to be more specific. However, the event was far overshadowed by V is Y 1 5' ,V ac V , W if WE f? 1w w M Z JUNE, 1939 43 tragedy. The night preceding Smitty R.D., died as result of an accident. The body lay in state in Sir Arthur Currie Hall, guarded by his fellow drops and was later taken to the station with the class forming the guard. The loss was greatly felt by all and he will always be remembered for his humour and good will. Exams were soon over and we were off to Petawawa where we came into our first responsibility by being the section commanders and platoon sgts. in charge of the tent lines. We enjoyed ourselves for the five days, folding boats, dodging mosquitoes and climaxing eve-nts with a night scheme and a wild march back to the tent iines. The June Ball came and went, overshadowed by our second tragedy. Soup Campbelll followed Smitty by his own will. We were seniors now, looking forward to gold braid and further developments of the new system. So as is the custom we cleaned up the debris in record time and set out on our last Summer leave. -D. Z. T. WOOD. FIRST CLASS XTEAR T'was on August 27th, when with a hot sun shining, eight of us out of the class met at 1400 hrs. on the square. After having thoroughly welcomed each other we reported to the Staff-Adjutant and then met our new Commandant. It was not long before we felt the weight of respon- sibility which we were now called upon to assume. As we marched back to our quarters a vivid and well impressed picture was recalled to our minds. Suit-cases and trunks were piled here and there and fifty new faces,-some confident and others anxious, were observing for the first time- the choice which they had made. Then mothers and sisters bade their Johnnie-s and J immies good bye. The first week was spent in never ceasing contact with the recruits, our recruits . striving to impose a military standard which would allow them to stand shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the college by the time the others returned. Sunday came and the rest of the college arrived. Those already here -extended a most hearty welcome, and were indeed relieved that their responsibility was now to be shared by the rest of the senior class. The first term as usual consisted in out-door work: for the first time, the battalion per- formed Tactical exercises on its feet. We had several mechanicized schemes which proved very popular. Another course which appealed to the class, probably due to its novelty, was one in car maintenance . This was very interesting and as our re-porter illustrates, undertaken with much enthusiasm. This term therefore was characterized by its novelty, privileges and responsibility. After Thanksgiving Leave we returned for a short indoor period till the Christmas exams. Now the class was split upg Electricals and Mechanicals in one lab., Miners and Chemists in another, the Civils in the draughting room, and the General and Military in the-ir rooms. The exams, once over we occupied our minds with lighter things, decorations for the dance and final last minute invitations. The dance was a good one and the next day saw us all on the train still upholding the spirit of the season. The Christmas holidays were barely over when we were back again to face our longest and most unvaried term. Then came the West Point week-end and for the first time in the history of the college we were the 44 R. M. C. REVIEW losing team, we tried hard to win, but were well defeated, and now we feel sure that future games between West Point and the college will prove much more interesting. So it is not with regret that we look at our defeat, but with keen interest and anticipation that we will watch the college and the U.S.M.A. in the future. Afte-r Easter the days to the end got fewer and fewer and seemed to be getting shorter. We are now faced with the grim reality of examsf- and as we prepare for the final drive, we look forward to Petawawa, grad- uation exercises, the June Ball and the graduation dinner. As the pages of our college dairy come to an end we look back upon the four best years of our lives that we spent together inside the walls of the R.M.C. We look into the future not knowing what lies ahead, and as we bid fare- well to our friends, perhaps some of them for the last time, we unite to wish our followers the best of luck. We thank them for the cooperation and loyalty with which they have served us and we wish that they will meet with the same support. To our recruits we bid remember the motto of the college-we thank them for the way they've played the game and we wish them a continued success in the future. -G. A. E. COUTURE. fc f r . .

THE CHRISTMAS DANCE- NCE again the financial wizards of the Recreation Club scored a distinct triumph by appropriating less money and obtaining more fun for the Christmas Dance. It sounds difficult, b-ut it seems that our Club has learned the secret and we hope they wont lose it. Cn December 16 the setting was unusually gay with seasonal fir and holly forming a soft background for highly polished sabres, helmets and lances, and of course, for our artists' customary generous array of silhouettes and topical cartoons. These last mentioned provocative masterpieces, however, should not be referred to by such an ordinary name. - The guests were received by the Commandant and Mrs. Crerar together with C. S. M. Nation-Warmington's orchestra provided the music except when, at supper time, the College orchestra substituted in a most capable manner, though the present writer might be a little prejudiced and would probably be iired if he said otherwise. At all events there were no complaints and our local maestro definitely estab- lished himself as a conductor. A -E. H. LEATHER. HIS EXCELLENCY, THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF CANADA JUNE, 1939 47 T. E. LAVVRENCE. LECTURE DELIVERED BY HIS EXCELLENCY, THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL, AT A MESS DINNER ON FEBRUARY 3, 1939. am going to talk to you about the most remarkable man I have ever known. What I am going to say will fall in two parts. In the first place I want to give you a picture of the man. In the second place, since this is a professional audience, I will discuss what I think to be his importance in the art of war. I. When I Hrst heard of T. E. Lawre-nce he was a small, slight, fair- haired, blue-eyed boy, who lived with his parents in Oxford, and won a scholarship at Jesus College. His interests were chiefly historical, and he used to spend his vacations in France, touring the country on an old bicycle, and studying mediaeval architecture. He took a high degree, and was then given a senior scholarship at Magdalen College-what is called a Demyship. He adopted archaeology as a profession and came under the guidance of a great oriental scholar, D. G. Hogarth. He went out to Carchemish in south-eastern Asia Minor to excavate what had been once the capital of the Hittites. During the several years he spent there he acquired the Arabic tongue and a wide knowledge of Arab customs, which late-r was to stand him in good stead. When the Great War broke out he was in Oxford, and was at once, through Hogarth's influence, enlisted in the mapping department of the Intelligence branch of the War Office. Presently he was sent out to the Arab Bureau at Cairo, and there he began his extraordinary career. I am not going to retell the story, which he himself has told brilliantly in the great book The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, and which has been 'told by other people in many books. It is sufficient to say that he was the chief inspirer of the Arab revolt in the Hejaz, and the chief organiser of the Arab armies which contributed so much to the ultimate success of Allenbyis Palestine campaign. He had two purposes-first, to free the Arabs from the Turkish yoke and create an independent Arab nation, and second, to use the Arab forces to assist the British campaign in Palestine. He won prestige among the tribesmen by living on their food, wearing their clothes, and being more audacious than the wildest Bedawin. There was nothing they could do which he could not do, and do much better. The consequence was that, as their leader, he managed to paralyse the left wing of the Turkish forces opposed to Allenby. In the beginning of 1918 when Allenby's army was drained of troops to repair the losses in France, he distracted the Turk's attention in what might have been a very dangerous situation. By perpetual threats he weakened the Turkish morale, and at last in September 1918, when Allenby was ready to strike, Lawrence, with a few thousand Arabs, kept away from the British front about half the Turkish forces south of Damascus. It is worth study- ing closely Lawrence's doings during the autumn of 1918, for you will- rarely find in the history of war a succession of enterprises which were at once more audacious and more fruitful. 48 R. M. C. REVIEW The result was that the shabby little lieutenant in badly-fitting khaki who had gone out to Cairo in the first months of War, returned as one of the most famous me-n in the world. And then began disaster. You cannot, at the age of twenty-nine, take Damascus at the head of 40,000 Arabs. after three years of unceasing hardships which included being nine times wounded, four times in an air crash, and many bouts of fever and dysentery-you cannot expect on these terms not to damage your nerves. After the war Lawrence was weary in body and mind, and his nerves were in tatters. Moreover his heart was broken by the treatment which the Arabs received from both Britain and France. I remember at that time how he would sit for hours with his head bent, never speaking. Then Mr. Churchill got hold of him when he became Colonial Secretary, and had him appointed as adviser on Arab affairs at the Colonial Office. As you know, there was a settlement which included the setting up of the Arab kingdoms of Iraq and Transjordan. This settlement Lawrence thought saved his honour, and that particular problem ceased to worry him. But the nervous unrest remained, and he came to the conclusion that the only chance of peace for him was to disappear, and under another name do mechanical work under discipline. He enlisted as a mechanic in the Air Force, and there is extant an extraordinary manuscript account of his experience there. I have read it, but I hope it will never be published, for it is too cruel an exposition of the sufferings of a highly- strung man. For a little while he was quite happy in the Air Force, and then the London popular press discovered him and made a stunt of it. He Was compelled to leave, and next appeared in the Tank Corps, Where he was not happy. I met him one day in the street, and for the first time I realised what he was suffering. It seemed to me a case for action, so I Went first to the head of the Air Force, Sir Hugh Trenchard, who was an old friend of mine, said he had no objection to my trying to do something. So I went to Mr. Baldwin, who was then Prime Minister, and pointed out that all that Lawrence asked, in return for his immense work for his country, was to be allowed to work as a humble mechanic in a service which he loved. Mr. Baldwin agreed and issued orders, and Lawrence was restored to the Air Force. He was sent out to Karachi, and then brought home because there were rumours in the left-Wing press that he was acting as a spy in Afghanistan. After that he did excellent work in the Air Force in the development of high-speed motor-boats for the assistance of sea-planes, and in target boats for bombing experiments. In 1935 his term of service came to an end, and he retired to his little cottage in Dorset, meaning to spend the rest of his life as a man of letters. In May of that year, as you know, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. That is a sketch of a life which ended at forty-six. By twenty-nine he had become a famous soldier. Ten years later he had become also a famous writer. Many of you, I suppose, have read his Seven Pillars. He had a craving to succeed both as a man of action and as a literary artist-the second more perhaps than the first. But he would never, I think, have been as good a writer as he was a man of action. For all that he wrote-The Seven Pillafrs, the translation of the Odyssey, the manuscript book on his Air Force experiences-seem to me not quite JUNE, 1 .939 49 adequate to his greatness. I like best the recently published Letters, which are a wonderful revelation of character. He was a man you never came to the end of. For one thing there was much of the child in him. He wrote and spoke to children as if they were his own age. Even when he was miserable and suffering he could rejoice in a comic situation, and the game of hide-and-seek which he played with the news- papers amused him as much as it annoyed him. There was a delightful impishness about him. I remember just after the War he was once induced, with a friend of mine, to go to a party at a famous London house. To the amazement of the guests the butler announced them as Mr. Lenin and Mr. Trotsky ! How shall one assess his character? There seems to me to have been from the start a fissure in his nature-a gulf between the man of action and the self-conscious, self-torturing man of thought. He was a mixture of contradictions which never were-perhaps could never have been-harmonised. His qualities lacked integration. He had moods of vanity and moods of abasement, immense self-confidence and immense diflidence. He had a fastidious taste which was often faulty, and though the gentlest and most lovable of human beings, full of chivalry and con- siderateness, he could also be ruthless. I can imagine him, though the possessor of an austere conscience, crashing through all the minor morali- ties to win his en.d. That is to say, he was a great man of action with some Sedition in his powers. What deflected him from his natural career of action? For deflected he was! he deliberately cut himself off from the sphere in which he was born to excel. I can only put it down to that fissure in his nature from the start, in him the dream and the business did not march together, his will was not always the servant of his intelligence, he was a self- tormentor who ran to meet suffering half way. Sometimes he would put this down to his war experiences, sometimes to his post-war disillus- ionment, but I think the crack was always there, and it tended to gape under stress. When there was no call to action he was torn by his divided thoughts. War was good, he once wrote, by drawing over our depths that hot surface wish to do or want something. He was disillusioned, too, about worldly glory, disillusioned too soon. I was not a king or a prime minister, he wrote, but I made 'em and played with 'em, and after that there was not much more in that direction for me to do. The man of action in him gave him an appetite for fame, even for publicity, and the other side of him made him despise himself for the craving. His conscience forbade him to take any reward for his war services, but there were times when he thought it a morbid conscience. So, pulled hither and thither by noble but contradictory impulses, he had moods when he hated life. In 1929 he wrote these tragic words: Oh Lord I am so tired! I want so much to lie down, to sleep or die. Die is best because there is no reveille. I want to forget my sins and the world's wearinessf' That I think is the explanation of a great career which somehow never came to perfect fruition. He never quite reconciled the doer and the thinker. He was collaterally a kinsman of the Elizabethan Sir Watler Raleigh, and I found some sentences the other day written about Sir Walter Raleigh which are curiously apposite to Lawrence. The irony of human affairs possesses his contemplation. . . The business he P A A. AA 73, QC 24 No V b oph Phofogr JUNE, 1939 51 of man on this earth se-ems trivial when seen against the vast desert of eternity. - That is my reading of the man. I now propose to deal with his work as a soldier. II. He entered the Army at the age of twenty-six, having had no prev- ious military experie-nce. There have been a number of great soldiers who took up their profession late in life. Montrose was the same .age, twenty-six, but he did not begin his real campaigns until some years later, Cromwell was forty-three-3 Julius Caesar was forty-four. Caesar had shown no military interest at all in his previous lifeg nor had Crom- well except that he may have studied the Swedish .Intelligencer and fol- lowed the campaigns of Gustavus Adolphus. Lawrence began with a far better equipment, for, though he was without practical experience. he was most deeply read in military matters. I have never met any soldier so learned as he was in military history. For example, he had studied not only Napoleon's campaigns in detail, but the sources from which Napoleon drew his ideas. He had an extraordinary passion for detail and could master the most complicated mechanical device at an amazing speed. He acquired as good a knowledge of gunnery as most artillery commanders, and he knew everything about the structure of aeroplanes. There was no weapon he used which he did not master down to its minutest detail. I am a printer by trade, and while I was in the business kne-w a good deal about the subject. Lawrence had always a desire 'to have a private press of his own, and in cultivating that hobby he acquired far more information about printing than I ever possessed. In his later years in the Air Force he became a great authority, as I have said, upon high speed motor-boats, and did work of supreme value to the service. Lawrence, therefore, by his previous studies, and by his remark- able gift of acquiring technical knowledge, was well fitted to command in the field. I have told you roughly what he achieved in his few years of campaigning, and I now want you to consider the really important question-what was the doctrine behind that achievement, what con- tribution did he make to the art and science of war? There are two main branches of military science, strategy and tactics. Tactics is a science which is constantly being altered and enlarged by the discovery of new weapons. So one may fairly say that tactical science to-day has only a very remote relation to the tactical science of the past. New weapons, like tanks, machine guns and aeroplanes. new methods of transport, new ways of handling troops, and the diierence between a professional army and a nation in arms-all these things have worked a complete tactical revolution. But the principles of strategy are pe-r- manent things. They depend upon two constants, the configuration of the globe, and the nature of man. In a war the object of each side is to win by weakening its enemy's will to resist, by striking at his nerve centre. This was true in the time of Alexander the Great, and it is just as true to-day. In a modern war not only the armies and navies, but the whole strength of a nation is drawn into the conflict-according to Sir William Robertson the civilian effort is at least sixty per cent of the whole. Somehow or other, if you are to win, you must persuade your enemy that it is not worth while for him to go on. This may be done by victory in battle, the right kind of battle, the kind which is 52 R. M. C. REVIEW really decisive, or it may be done without any field victory at all, but by a slow sapping of the enemy morale. There you have the first principle of strategy. When you descend to details and consider how a campaign can culminate in a decisive battle, you will find that the nature of the terrain plays a predominant part in determining minor strategy. You will also find that surprise is an essen- tial for success, since surprise me-ans the shattering of the enemy's poise. You can never do away with the element of surprise. It was as vital at Pharsalus whe-n Caesar's Tenth Legion unexpectedly wrecked the attempt of Pompey's cavalry to turn his flank, as at Chancellorsville when Hooker found Stonewall Jackson on his rear, or as at the Third Battle of the Marne when the German attack wasted itself upon Gouraud's empty trenches. . Now it seems the fate of great soldiers to be misunderstood. Napoleon, I take it, was the greatest soldier who ever lived., and, though his achievements are plain to all and he left a host of maxims behind him, few people seem to be agreed upon the right moral to b-e drawn. Precepts like Providence is on the side of the biggest battalions offer an infinite variety of interpretations. It is also, I think, the fate of great military writers to be misunderstood. Clausewitz is a case in point. He was a much wiser man than his critics make out, because these critics have fastened upon epigramatic sentences which can carry more than one meaning. Now, generally speaking, from a misunderstanding of both Napoleon and Clausewitz a good deal of false .doctrine had grown up before 1914. There was the idea that everything depended upon forcing, as soon as possible, a decisive battle, that the decision must come from a battle. There was the idea of battering through an enemy's front by sheer brute force, like Grant in the Wilderness campaign, since it was assumed that surprise in modern war might be impossible to achieve. There was the notion, very prevalent in the French army, and fathered by so great a man as Foch, that at any cost you must be always attacking, that the offensive was the only real defence, and this offensive was rather crudely interpreted. The consequence was that in the Great War both sides were apt to forget the vital principles of strategy-that the one thing was to strike at the enemy's nerve centre and weaken his will to resist, that this might be achieved in many ways, and not merely in field actions, and that in a field action you would never get very far unless you brought in the element of surprise. There is still another heresy which is due to a shallow reading of N apoleon's mind--that in any war the decision must be won in the 'main field of action-that is on the front where the enemy's principal forces are massed. Now, of course, in every campaign there is a main front, but that main front need not be the decisive front, a victory elsewhere may cause that main front to crumble even although it is not actually broken in the field. In the Great War the main front was obviously that in France and Flanders, and most people assumed that there, and only there, the enemy must be b-eaten. Yes, but the decisive blow might have been struck elsewhere. The war could only have been ended by the Western front crumbling, but that crumbling might have been caused by Allied successes in a terrain a thousand miles away. That is what is meant by the strategy of indirect approach. Every great soldier has won victories by a blow which was not in any sense JUNE. 1.939 53 a frontal attack. Cromwell, as he showed in his Preston and Scottish campaigns, was a master of the indirect approach, so was Marlborough, so was Napoleon whe-n the thing was necessary. But the best example I can think of is from the greatest war fought on this continent-the American Civil War. In the spring and summer of 1862, Lee and Jackson, the generals of the South, had armies very much inferior to the North, but they made up for their numerical inferiority by an almost uncanny psychological penetration. They could read the nervous and puzzled officials at Washington like a book. McClellan with 150,000 men was moving against Richmond, the Southern capital, and Banks with 40,000 men was protecting his right rear. This was the main field of action, and the South, if they trie-d to meet this huge force, must have been conclusively defeated. What happened? Ai couple of hundred miles away from the main front Stonewall Jackson, with 3,000 men, attacked a Northern general called Shie-lds at Kernstown in Virginia. He was, of course, b-eaten off, but he returned to the assault, and then for 'three months he led the Federal generals a wild dance up and down the Shenandoah Valley. It happened exactly as Lee foresaw. Lincoln grew anxious, Shields was not ready to co-operate with McClellan, McDowell's corps was detached from McClellan to support him. The result was that the attack upon Richmond ended in a fiasco, and presently the North was chased out of Virginia. In that campaign 190,000 men were com- pletely paralysed and defeated by 16,000. That is an example of 'the strategy of indirect approach. Now Lawrence was entirely free- from any of the heresies which I have mentioned. He brought great knowledge of the art of war and a iirst-class mind to the study of his new profession, and he reached the right conclusiofns. He understood the indlirect approach. If he had merely brought his Arabs up to join in the barren frontal attacks of the first and second Battles of Gaza, he would have done nothing and he would have lost a great number of men. Instead of that he studied the mind of the- enemy and aimed at weakening his will to resist, and shattering his nerves. The Hejaz railway was the Turks' Achilles heel. They were very nervous about the Holy Cities, and these Holy Cities were linked up with the Turkish base by a long and most vulnerable railway running through the desert. It was at this that Lawrence struck. He knew that he could do nothing with his Arabs in a field action, so he devised a new kind of fighting for them. He never allowed them, as the French say, to become dccrochas with the enemy, he kept them always mobile and free. The result was that he lost very few Arabs, and I do not think he lost a single British life. And he did not kill a very large number of Turks either, for he believed that a disarmed enemy was just as good as a dead enemy. But he most comprehensively wrecked the Turkish plans. He saw that the destruction of material, if that material was vital, was just as useful as the destruction of life. His mobility, and his reading of the enemy's mind, gave him constantly the advantage of surprise. So I think it fair to say that this young man in his late twenties, this non-professional soldier, did actually point the way-not to a new art of war, but to the traditional art of war of the great captains, which had been somehow forgotten. Before the Great War, and, indeed almost up to the end of the Great War, military thought had become stagnant, 54 R. M. C. REVIEW and we had settled .down into a dull clinch from which at one time it looked as if we could only emerge with the end of civilisation. Then in the last year there was an effort on both sides to get back to sound doctrine. Surprise was once more attained, first by the German plan of infiltration , and second by the Allied plan of dropping the preliminary bombardment and using light tanks to prepare the way for the infantry, what has been called Foch's deadly arpeggio . Meantime two thousand miles away a boy of twenty-nine was, on his own initiative, doing every- thing that for four years his seniors had failed to do, and printing in capital letters. for all the world to understand, the eternal maxims of strategy. III. I last saw Lawrence at the close of March 1935. He turned up at my Oxfordshire home on a push-bike one Sunday morning and spent a long day with us. He was on his way from Bridlington to his Dorset- shire cottage, having finished his service in the Air Force. He looked brilliantly well, with a weather-beaten skin, a clear eye, and a fore-arm like a blacksmith's. His nerves, too, seemed to be completely at ease. He had no plans and described himself as like a leaf falling from a tree in autumn. But he was eagerly looking forward to a spell of leisure. He spoke of public affairs and his friends with perfect wisdom and charity. When he left I told my wife that at last I was happy about him. She shook her head. He is looking at the world as God must look at it, and a man cannot do that and live. . . . A few weeks later he was dead. When ,a. great man dies compagratively young we are bound to speculate as to what he might have done if he had lived. I have always felt that Lawrence was born with more capacity for leadership than anyone I have ever known. Now and then one saw that in his eye which could have created, or quelled, a revolution. He could make people follow him with blind .devotion, and he had the brains and the character to lead them on the right road. If he had finished the war in 1918 with his nerves in perfect order and his vitality unimpaired then he might have been the man to lead the British people to a new and better way of life. But that dream is i.dle, for, if he had, he would not have been Lawrence, there was always a fissure in his nature between thought and action. But there is a more reasonable speculation. When I last saw him I thought he had found peace. His mental and spiritual health had been restored. If he had lived I think he might have done great work on a matter which was very near his heart, and which is of vital importance to the Empire, and that is the reorganization of our imperfect defences. But it was not to be, and he has left no successor, I fear, of the same quality. I do not profess to explain Lawrence. He was a man of genius, and genius in Emerson's phrase is a stellar and undiminishable some- thing , we cannot trace its source, we cannot define it, we cannot esti- mate its effects, we can only feel its compelling power like a mighty force of nature. If that view be right, then Lawrence was the only man of genius that I have ever known. I am not a very tractable person, and I am not much of a hero-worshipper, but I think I could have followed him over the edge of the world. J UNE, 1939 55 EARLY DAYS OF HC BATTERY, R.C.A.. BRITISH COLUMBIA By NO. 65, COLONEL G. HUNTER OGILVIE think the first suggestion of establishing a permanent unit at Esqui- malt, B.C., was made during the summer of 1885, when war was threatened between Great Britain and Russia, but it was not until the summer of 1887 that direct action was taken. Arrangements were made to draft about fifty N .C.O.'s and men from each of the Batteries stationed at Kingston, Ont., and Quebec, P.Q., to form the nucleus of C Battery, Garrison Artillery. In October of that year Major James Peters, Capt. T. Benson and I, with the detail of N.C.O.'s and men from A Battery, left Kingston, and were met by the detachment from Quebec on the main line of the C.P.R. at Carleton Place, and from this point we travelled out west together as C Battery under the Command of Major Peters. This was the first occasion on which a troop train had crossed by Canadian Pacific Rail- way. The wives and children of the oflicers accom- panied their husbands and fathers, but the wives and children of the non-Commissioned Officers and men, together with nine of the husbands, made up W a second party which travelled by a train following a day behind the first party, and I, being an unmar- ried officer, was det.ailed to accompany them in charge. My chief duties consisted in maintaining peace and quietness in which I was assisted by two or three senor N.C.O.'s. I also had to keep tab on the number of meals eaten at the eating stations along the line. I had to count heads so often that I am never likely to forget the nine men, fifteen women, and thirty children, to say nothing of all the dogs and other pets under my charge. Up to that time there had been very little communication between British Columbia and the rest of the Dominion and the old timers were not quite sure what kind of people were coming among them, but as the cities of Vancouver and Victoria became filled with Eastern Canadians the social atmosphere became warmer. Upon arriving in Victoria in October, 1887, we were temporarily housed in the old Agricultural Hall, near Beacon Hill, and remained there until our new barracks were ready for us on Work Point, situated near the entrance to Victoria Harbour. There were no guns to speak of in position at the time, except some old muzzle loading 64 pounders at Clover Point, east of Beacon Hill, at Work Point, near the barracks, and some of larger calibre in a very respectable Fort on Macaulay Point. These guns were, with the exception of Macau- lay Point battery, only good enough for drill purposes and repository work. Our spare time from barrack duties and drill was taken up in 56 R. M. C. REVIEW playing cricket, football, and rifle pra.ctice. We had matches with the oflicers and men of the Navy as there were generally three ships in Esqui- malt Harbour all winter, with the addition of the Flag Ship during the summer. It was during the summer of 1888 that the Indians on the Skeena River near Hazelton, rose in rebellion and killed some trappers and Hud- son Bay Company men. It was considered sufficiently serious to warrant C Battery being sent up on board H.M.S. Caroline, to the mouth of the Skeena River, and from there we were towed in boats by steam pinnaces up the river a distance to our first camp. The boats returned to the ship, which left shortly afterwards for Esquimalt. We remained in the same camp for about two months, in the mean- time the local authorities at Hazelton were able to capture and punish the ringleaders, and settle the imaginary grievances without calling on the troops. Our camp on the Skeena River was very circumscribed as nearly all the solid ground in the vicinity was flat rock. The south bank of the river at that place was very low and our only neighbours were the salmon cannery at Port Essington, which was to a large extent built on piles. Prince Rupert, the present terminal of the Canadian National Railway was only a few miles north of our camp around the point of land. Our spare time while waiting in camp was occupied in fishing and hunting wild goats, Rocky Mountain sheep and bear. Major Peters and I would occasionally paddle across the river, which at this point was from two to three miles wide, and climb the mountains which rose almost from the water's edge. I found it a much easier matter to go up than to come down, especially when crossing a bank of snow or ice. It was a new experience to climb up through a cloud and find flowers blooming above the snow line. We had with us on the expedition Lt.-Col. Holmes, D.O.C., of the District, Major Peters, O.C. Battery, Capt. T. Ben- son, and Lieut. Gaudet. In addition we had, attached to the Battery, Lt.-Col. E. G. Prior, M.P. of the British Columbia Garrison Artillery, a newspaper representative of the Montreal Star, and our regimental sur- geon, Dr. John Duncan. At the end of our stay in camp near Port Essington, we returned to Victoria on one of the steamers of the Cana- dian Pacific Steamship line, stopping on the way south for a short time at the Queen Charlotte Islands, where we saw some wonderful Totem Poles, and some remarkably pretty Indian girls. Most of the work done in the salmon canneries along the coast was performed by these girls. I think it was in the following year, 1889, that a very serious strike broke out among the miners at Wellington and Naniamo, about halfway up the east coast of Vancouver Island. The Battery was ordered out to keep the peace and strengthen the hands of the civil authorities. It was not a pleasant duty to perform. It became part of our recreation while stationed at Beacon Hill Park to help clear the ground of virgin forest on Work Point, sufliciently for a contractor to commence building the barracks and married oflicers quar- ters. About this time Lieut. Harry Burstall joined us from the Royal Military College. This brought us to full strength as follows, Major Peters, O.C., Capt. Benson, Adj., Lieut. and Capt. G. H. Ogilvie, Lieut. F. M. Gaudet, Lieut. H. E. Burstall, Capt. George Rolt White fattachedl, Quartermaster, and Dr. John Duncan, M.O. Lieut. Gaudet remained a very short time and was transferred to Quebec at his own request. About the same time Capt. White was re- JUNE, 1939 57 called, and Capt. Edward Palmer of Prince Edward Island Artillery was appointed in his place as Quartermaster. As I said before the armament at Work Point was very antiquated, so that the main benefit derived from the drill was the exercise we got out of it, and much time was taken up in repository drill or shifting ordnance. One amusing incident occurred on the occasion of an inspec- tion by Colonel Ivor Herbert, the General Officer Commanding at Head Quarters, Ottawa. At that time it took at least a week to reach Victoria by rail from Ottawa, so that by getting warning in advance we were able to arrange a nice inspection, and when the G.O.C. arrived the schedule of drills, etc., was submitted to him for approval, unfortunately, that was not his idea of an inspection and he mixed things up considerably. After the infantry parade in Review Order the Company was dismissed to re- assemble, in five minutes, dressed for gun drill. The G.O.C. took charge of the reformed parade and detailed the gun squads, so that the specially arranged squads of picked men, that had been drilling together for the week previously, were all mixed up. However, Capt. Benson and I being each detailed to take charge of a gun squad made a stab at it, and did not do so badly. Then came Major Peters' turn with the Shifting Ord- nance. One of the gun squads was turned over to him, and he was told to carry on. Well! You can imagine the picture. The squad was formed up in rear of the gun emplacement, and told oi, then sent to the gun stores to get and arrange the stores. They went off all right, but the curious thing about it was that only about half of the men who went for the stores came back, their places being taken by men of the original squad who had been standing by looking on. When the squad fell in again, with all stores complete, Major Peters' men were also complete and in their proper places. It was not very long after the G.O.C. returned to Headquarters, Ottawa, that orders were received to prepare to hand over the Barracks to the Dockyard people at Esquimalt, who in turn handed over to the Royal Marine Artillery, and so C Battery returned East in the Autumn of 1893 to the Citadel, Quebec C Battery became absorbed in A Bat- tery Garrison Artillery, and all the mess plate and other property that had been presented to the mess by friends in Victoria, was taken over by the Officers' mess in the Citadel. The orders to return to the East were received with mixed feelings. We had made many good friends in Vic- toria, and we were beginning to take root, though, of course, some of us were ready to move on to the next place, as we were really not learn- ing any soldiering. Of the oflicers stationed in Victoria, Major Peters remained behind in Command of the Military District No. 11. Colonel Holmes, who had been D.O.C., when we arrived in 1887 and the following six years, was moved to the Command of M.D. No. 10, in Winnipeg. The Medical Officer, Dr. John Duncan, remained in Victoria and resumed his civilian practice. Capt. Palmer, the Quartermaster, resigned his Commission and became the Secretary of the Union Club of Victoria, Lieut. Burstall had previously returned East to qualify for his commission, this left Capt. Benson and myself the sole survivors of C Battery to reach Quebec. B.S,M. M. D. MACBRIEN AND CADET CAPT. R. D. CURTIN JUNE, 193.9 59 PRESENTATION OF THE U. S. M.A. TROPHY N March 18th the College had the pleasure of a visit from two members of the U.S.M.A. hockey squad, Messrs Curtin and Mc- Caffery. The purpose of their visit was to present to the College a beautiful silver cup, a companion trophy to the one presented by the College to the Corps of Cadets at We-st point some sixteen years ago. It is a tall graceful cup, bearing on one side the inscription and coats-of- arms of the U.S.M.A. and the R.M.C., and on the other the complete record of that unique- hockey series which began in 1923. The trophy was handed over by Cadet Captain Curtin to Battalion Sergeant-Major MacBrien in the presence of the Cadet Battalion in the Dining Hall im- mediately before lunch on Saturday, March 18th. In making the presentation Mr. Curtin spoke as follows: 4'Sixteen years ago, growing out of World War friendships and a more active consciousness of the compelling ties and purposes common to the people of the Dominion and the United States, the-re began the unique sports rivalry between us-of which this year marked the six- teenth annual meeting of our hockey teams. 'fFrom this common meeting ground there has sprung great friend- ship to our common profit. As a measure of this profit is the fact that during these sixteen years we-ll over four thousand of our Cfficers have carried with them from West Point the lasting and personal friendship for you and your comrades which this contact with you engenders. Sixteen years ago you set up a Challenge Cup as a trophy for which our hockey teams have since been in annual competition. By your grac- iousness and at your expressed desire it has remained, and will continue to remain, at West Point, bearing the record of our rivalry. Never until this year has it carried the name of We-st Point as the victor. Upon the occasion then, of this, our first victory, it is my great privilege, in the name of the Corps of Cadets of the United States Military Academy, to present to you of the Royal Military College of Canada a companion cup, to remain in your possession as a pledge of our friendship and to carry the past and future record of our sports contact. With it, our highest regard for the finest, most sportsmanlike opponents it has been our good fortune to know, and a hearty greeting from the Corps ! In accepting the magnificent trophy, the West Point Cup, on behalf of the College Mr. MacBrien said that comparatively few were aware that the cup prese-nted to the U.S.M.A. in 1923 by the R.M.C. was deeded to the Academy as a gift. It was to remain at West Point. It was pre- sented as a memento of the first athletic meeting between the 'two siste-r institutions. It was hoped when the first hockey game took place in 1923 that it was the beginning of an annual se-ries, a series which since has lengthened into sixteen years. In 1939 West Point gained a clean cut, well-earned, first victory. A great deal more effort, sportsmanship and will to win lies be-hind this successful culmination than can ever be told by any speaker. If there is such a thing as pleasure in defeat then that pleasure is surely ours and we again congratulate the Academy team on its fine win. On behalf of the Battalion of Gentlemen Cadets I take into keeping this companion trophy. It not only commemorates, as has been already AMS, 1939 'E T EY OCK .M.A. AND R.M.C. H U.S JUNE, 1939 61 pointed out by Mr. Curtin, success in sporting endeavour, but further cements the bonds of fellowship and good feeling between the Academy and the College and through our graduates and friends, our two countries. I know that I am expressing the feelings of the entire Battalion when I extend to Mr. Curtin and Mr. McCaffery our very sincere thanks for this beautiful cup and thank them too for the pleasure of their visit. I ask them to be kind enough to convey our gratitude and cordial greetings to the Corps of Cadets. THE VVEST POINT VVEEK-END NE of the high spots in the College year is the annual encounter be- tween our hockey team and that of West Point. This year's visit, besides affording a game that was first-class hockey in itself, marks the successful culmination of a long and gallant struggle on the part of the Academy to defeat its Canadian rival. The West Point contingent was welcomed on its arrival at Kingston station by the Commandant, officers in charge of hockey and the members of our team, and was escorted to the College. Each visitor was the guest of a player on the other team, who showed him about the grounds and looked after him generally. The arrival of the West Pointers was celebrated by a Tea Dance, but it was discovered that most of the team preferred to do their cele- brating after the game, and rested up for the coming struggle. Following the precedent the College was divided into two cheering sections, one of which backed the invaders and the other the home team. In fact, the enthusiasm of the West Point cheering section must have been a great incentive to our opponents in achieving the final victory. The game itself has been dealt with elsewhere. It is suflicient to say that it was a close and exciting struggle every minute of the time, and the outcome was in the balance until the final moment of play. When the bell went with the score at 4 to 3 for West Point, all agreed that the best team ha.d won and that the victory had been well earned. The visiting team was entertained at a dance held in the New Gym., from immediately after the game until well after midnight. The home team's hospitality included their sharing their girls with the Kaydets. The following morning an outdoor Church Parade was held, at which the West Pointers called the Parade. An informal inspection of the Guard was also carried out by the visitors. The West Pointers left Sunday noon amid three rousing cheers and many expressions of regret. The cadets watched, with mixed feelings, the winning team's name being painted on the Record Board in the Administration Building, regret that a no-loss record had been broken, but satisfaction that a worthy opponent had at last won through to victory. A sequel to the visit was afforded a few weeks later when two prom- inent members of the West Point team Cadets Curtin and McCafferty, returned to the College. Their mission was to present to the Battalion of Gentlemen Cadets, on behalf of the U.S. Military Academy, a Trophy Cup to be held in our permanent possession. This cup is to be emblematic of both the friendly sports rivalry and the firm feeling of international respect and good fellowship that exists between our respective countries. -R. G. BRAMFITT.

AQ: AM, ,U - 1- -- f - r - A JUNE, 1939 63 ACROSS NORTH AMERICA BY MOTORCAR By LT.-COL. G. C. BUCKNALL, M.C., p.s.c., lMidd1esex Regimentb N August, 1938, I was to join the Directing Staff of the Militia Staff Course for Western Canada at Calgary, Alberta. The opportunity of seeing more of Middle and Western Canada, and also of extending the journey to take in part of the United States, was too attractive to miss. I decided, therefore, to travel by car, for this would give more freedom of movement and reduce expenses, and to take my wife and daughter with me, to ensure good fortune. Including local trips for fishing and sightseeing the total mileage reached 9500, and, with three weeks stay between Calgary and Banff, the Journey extended over eight weeks. The car, a 30 h.p. flilnglish ratingb 1937 Chevrolet, was specially tuned up for her approaching trial, and a good deal of care expended in other necessary preparations, for we had to be ready for extremes of heat and cold, and for high and low altitudes. Our kit, however, stored away more or less comfortably, on the morning 28th July we drove out of Kingston . I should mention here that there is yet no through road North of the Great Lakes. The ordinary route is over the excellent United States roads via Detroit, Chicago and Duluth, and thence N.W. to Winnipeg. We were anxious, however, to see something of the Wilder part of Ontario and decided, therefore, to run North Westwards to Sault Ste. Marie. This would touch the fringe of the less populated Northern part of the Pro- vince, and the road was reported doubtful. The risk turned out to be well worth while. Our first day took us through the region of the Rideau Lakes and then North Westwards along the Ottawa River valley - a lovely drive over good roads. To the West of the military camp at Petawavva a gravel road replaced the paved highway, but it was well graded and was not unpleasant going. Running along the northern edge of Algonquin Park, the country either side was wild and beautiful. Rocky, heavily wooded hills stretched steeply down towards the Ottawa River. Here and there a chain of lakes, linked by rushing streams made us stop to enjoy their charm. Strange as it may seem in these days, we were able to pass the turning to Callan- der, the home of the Dionne quintuplets, without a qualm. Then, after a pleasant drive along the northern shore of Lake Nipissing, we stopped for the night at Sturgeons Falls, where the Windsor Hotel made us most comfortable. From Nipissing to Sault Ste. Marie was not so easy or pleasant. Except for one stretch of excellent paved highway, the road was generally bad and in places shocking. Heavy construction was in progress in several places, and we were lucky to get over the detours in the woods. Indeed, storms would have held us up badly. Around Sudbury lies an extensive mining area, mostly copper, a very ugly, uninviting locality. As a well known lake harbour and port of entry, and the end of the navig- able road on the Canadian side, Sault Ste. Marie was a disappointing town. The locks, however, were splendid and impressive, and the harbour faci- lities good. Our hotel windows commanded the passage, and the number 64 R. M. C. REVIEW of ships moving down showed clearly the busy character of the traffic. Mileage to the Soo was 600. Now in the U.S.A., the road took us through rather flat, wooded, monotonous, but not unpleasant country, forming the peninsula between Lakes Superior and Michigan. Generally more heavily populated than Western Ontario, much of it was state preserved forest. In contrast to our previous day's experience the roads were paved and excellent to drive along. We spent a night at Ironwood, on the fringe of a vast iron and industrial area, and so into Duluth. This is an unattractive, workaday city lying along the south-east face of a fairly high bank, fin its Yorkshire senseb. Our experience of gravelled roads and pressure of time made it advis- able now to continue the journey on the U.S.A. side of the frontier. All information confirmed that the country either side was very similar, but necessity to jettison our visit to Winnipeg was a deep regret. There is little to describe on our long journey across the prairies, and the road, in the absence of Buffalo and Sioux Indians, was often indeed monotonous. As we passed westwards through Minnesota the hills and dales flattened out, the forests gave place to woods, the woods to trees and the villages and farms became more scattered. Mixed crops gave place more and more to wheat. Leaving behind us the Badlands in Eastern North Dakota - sour, dead land and salt lakes - we could almost trace our track westwards by the groups of grain elevators every 10 to 15 miles along the Railway. The heat, up to 1000 F, was quite trying at times, particularly with a following wind. The roads deteriorated, and grasshoppers became a real nuisance. All over Western North Dakota and Eastern Montana their numbers developed into a plague, which this year ruined two-thirds of a fine crop. We were forced to protect the radiator and windows of the car with screens. However, the endless miles of billowing golden wheat made a sight for wonder, for in this area it was not a year of drought. Montana, which came to U.S.A. with the Louisiana purchase, enjoys marked and vigorous characteristics. The rolling wheat fields gave way gradually to coarse grass ranges, cut by sharply indented creeks in which nestled scattered ranches,-the cattle country. Not a tree was to be seen except in these creeks or in a few wide river beds such as those of the Missouri and Milk Rivers. Stopping over night in an old-time cattle townn we heard of the great bygone days of these ranges, and exciting times they must have been. No paper money here. We paid for our drinks in silver dollars! The farther we drove to the west, the more rugged and hilly the country became. Until, on the 4th of August, we neared the foothills and had our first view of the vast Rocky Mountain Range. What pleasure to be once more amongst the hills! We passed through the reserve of the once proud Blackfoot Indians about Browning, the road getting gradually steeper and the air deliciously cool and fresh, and spent a luxurious night at the Glacier Park Hotel amongst the easternmost peaks. Though the atmosphere may have been a little too tourist, there is good trout fish- ing in stream and lake within easy reach, and also stalking for hunting as they call it herel for deer, bear and mountain lion. The drive next day Northwards along the Eastern foothills was indeed beautiful. We were fortunate in having good clear sunny weather, and a fine road right up to Calgary. Turning westwards then the road followed the Bow River, JUNE, 1939 65 whose water is of a vivid copper sulphate blue, through foothills rather like West Somerset country, past the Stoney Indians' Reserve to Banff. Across the Ghost River, about 50 miles west of Calgary, the wild gran- deur of the Rockies opens up. One is dominated by the vast forests of birch, spruce and fir, and by the great jagged rock faces reaching up towards the snow caps. We stayed one night at the famous Banff Springs Hotel. Banff is 6000 feet up and, at this time, decidedly cool. So a certain amount of acclimatization may be necessary for some constitutions. Having 36 hours to spare, I got in touch with a local guide and was fortunate enough on 7 August to kill eight nice speckled trout Ca beau- tiful char J before breakfast. Fishing amongst such scenery and wild surroundings was an experience which I shall never forget -+ the trip involved being out on the water at dawn to get the rise, and a paddle by canoe across the Bow River and up a tributary. We passed a number of beaver busily at work on their lodges. On 8 August, having settled my family comfortably in Banff, I took the road eastwards to Calgary and for the next few days was busy with Major Bradbrooke, the Staff Officer for that District, preparing the exer- cises for the Militia Staff Course. There is no space in this record to describe the Staff Course-it must suffice here to say that there was a good deal of valuable work done, and a good deal of fun, too. We all en- joyed the kindness and hospitality of the Strathcona's Horse, with whom we lived, and the people of Calgary, to the full. Calgary is a small but pleasant city lying to the East of the foot- hills, by the Bow River. It is surrounded by a fine wheat and cattle coun- try and provides excellent sport in fishing, shooting and riding for those who care to look for it. We were very disappointed to miss the Stampede, at which riders from all parts of North America compete, and there is a fine show of stock. However, Gen. Pearkes fthe District Commanderl, during a most interesting tour of the city, took me to see Mr. Richardson, the Father of the Stampede,', who explained it all to me. We finished up with the Stock Yards, which were not very full at that time. I was able to rejoin my family in Banff for week-ends, and, in spite of the cold weather, much enjoyed the place. It was interesting to notice how attention is rapidly turning towards the North, with the development of the industrial mining areas about the Slave Lakes, and the facilities provided by air transport. To the South- ward, also, the Turner valley oil fields are reaching higher production. In fact the activities are no longer confined to the old East and West axis. At the end of August we sent Ann, the daughter, back to Kingston, and my wife and I resumed our travels Westwards. The road through the Rockies was magnificent, particularly in the Kicking Horse Pass. In places the road narrowed dangerously, hugging the steep cliff face, around which it was carried on wooden struts. There was, therefore, no question of fast running in the mountains. There is no road yet through the Selkirk Range, so we loaded the car on a truck from Golden to Revelstoke and enjoyed a very pleasant four hour ride by rail. The route to the South over the Crow's Nest Pass would have meant too long a detour. The construction of this vital artery is indeed a masterpiece of railway engineering. Once in British Columbia we found the roads gravel and poor. A so-called 'fwash-board formation caused by use of a 4-wheeled grader 66 R. M, C. REVIEW made it impossible to drive between speeds of 10 and 40 miles per hour with any comfort, and corners prevented all but the hardiest natives from exceeding 40 m.p.h. From the Selkirk Range Westwards the country becomes gradually lower andmore arid. The road followed the South Thompson River to Kamloops, the centre of activity of this part of B.C. With two or three days to spare, we settled down at Paul Lake, 12 miles north of Kamloops, a charming and very comfortable lodge, and enjoyed some glorious fishing. We left our kind friends at Paul Lake with many regrets and followed the Thompson River through the dry, semi-desert country of the arid belt, to its junction with the rushing Fraser River at Lytton. Here we joined the old Caribou trail. The roads improved but gave us some awkward moments here and there round the steep cliff faces. After Lytton we ran once more amongst the great mountains. We found the coastal range grim and fine, but nothing like so beautiful as the Rockies and the Sel- kirks. However, as we dropped down the Fraser Canyon, mists became heavier, and a good deal of smoke from the extensive forest fires to the North hampered our views. For this reason we did not see Vancouver at its best. Nevertheless, we had a very pleasant stay here, shepherded by Major Spankie of the District Staff and his wife. The seaport city, which is developing extensively, rests underneath the lee of enormous wooded mountains, and surrounds a marvellous harbour. We had a good view of the large Japanese fishing fleet. The passage to Victoria is no more than 4 hours and is a very beau- tiful one. Here, we found ourselves amongst large numbers of retired British Service people and American visitors. Much of the island is un- developed still. It consists chiefly of heavily wooded hills and valleys, with deep inlets here and there. There is good fishing, both salmon and trout, although the salmon fishing is practically all estuary trolling. The salmon coho, were just starting to run. The trout which I saw were all cut-throat. Like Vancouver, there is a fairly large foreign element in the population, chiefly Chinese and Japanese. The defences are in process of considerable reorganization and extension. In Victoria, I delivered the last of my lectures, with much relief. We then shipped the car for Seattle to continue our travels Southwards. The voyage through the Straits of Juan de Fuca was lovely, with the snow-capped Olympic Peninsula to the Southward. Spending only the night at Seattle, we saw little of the city and harbour, making pace to reach the Pacific coast without delay. After leaving Portland we entered the mignificent farm and fruit country of Northern Oregon, smelt the enlivening sea tang once more, and hit the coast at Otis. The principal activity appeared to be lumber, but there were fishing villages here and there, and we enjoyed the fresh fruit and fish to the full. The coast is grim and grey and has few harbours. The drive Southwards over beautiful roads was, however, very pleasant. South of Eureka we ran into vast groves of the enormous aged Red Wood fir trees. Their dominating hugenesss gave us an eerie feeling of prime- val survival. They would have been felled by the lumber jacks long be- fore now, had not various philanthropic organizations combined to protect them. 150 miles North of San Francisco the road left the coast and the atmosphere inland became insufferably hot. The lumber work gave place to extensive fruit farms all along the Santa Rosa valley. We struck the sea mist, unfortunately, North of the Golden Gate and this veiled almost completely the beautiful approach to this attractive city. J UNE, 1 939 67 We spent two or three days wandering around San Francisco, deeply attracted by its individuality, and Latin character. The lack of activity in the harbour was unexpected. From there Southwards town and coun- try showed the influence of the old Spanish Colony. Many of the beauti- ful Spanish Missions still thrive. The exquisite Santa Barbara was an outstanding example of this Spanish atmosphere, and the El Paso market centre there was a veritable slice of Spain. The amenities of Oregon and California have been carefully safe- guarded for the future by the establishment of numbers of extensive National Parks. Indeed, this principle has been carried through in all the states through which we travelled. It is difficult to describe our reactions to Los Angeles, the next port of call. It has all the signs of mushroom growth, and yet there are many beautiful suburban type properties and houses in the residential localities such as Beverly Hills. There are luxurious and expensive hotels and beautiful shops. On the other hand there are wide areas of bunga- lows and waste land, and a squalid commercial quarter. Hot dry hills enclose the city on the North and North-East, Pasadena and the San Bernardino fruit country lie to the East, the various well-known beaches to the West. On the South side are extensive oil-fields, giving almost the impression of a forest, and the port of Wilmington. All appear forced to live in the limelight. The general atmosphere seems fictitious and the sense of values upsidedown. Probably this is due to the influence of the motion-picture industry and its extraordinary devotees. We were taken all over Paramount Studios by the kindness of Mr. Eugene Zukor, whose interests and conversation, curiously enough, seemed chiefly occupied with the European situation. Another friend showed us the Hhighlightsi' of Hollywood, took us to dine at the Cocoanut Grove, the Brown Derby, and the Victor Hugo, and on to the Clover Club, where we saw a number of well known characters at leisure. However, the weather was getting hot- ter Calready 950, and airlessl, the city was rapidly filling with hilarious and curiously dressed members of the American Legion, whose convention was shortly to take place, and the news from Europe appeared grave indeed. We decided to make for home. Los Angeles was the farthest point of our journey. It was now 16th September, we had been fexcluding the three weeks in Calgaryl a month on the road, and had completed 6000 miles. Leaving Los Angeles, we were amazed at the miles of fine orange groves in the San Bernardino valley. This luxuriant plenty and the next 200 miles of the Californian desert formed a striking contrast. The desert was hot, arid and rocky. Except a few stunted trees near river beds nothing grew except sage bush. We saw no game or bird life other than a hawk or two and a vulture. In these grim surroundings our only mechanical misfortune befell us. During a blinding thunder and rain storm our fan belt stripped, and I had no spare belt. The rain cooled the atmosphere, but interfered with re- pairs. No one would stop in case we should hold them up. Eventually, however, Wales came to our rescue in the shape of an old Welsh road man with his Ford. He pushed us 6 miles to the top of a slope down which we were able to make the garage at Ludlow under our own steam. The cool- ing effect of the storm soon wore, and the heat as we crossed the valley of the Colorado River into Arizona was stifling. We were lucky to get across a couple of wash-outs caused by the storm before stopping at Kingham for the night, a run of 353 miles. 1 -1. :V .. .5 2 vii E ' ' ' ' A 43 1- 21 11-,ya , .,, .-1221 Z 22 726: 541' . 1 'E 35 1' 1 71: 12 1: 1-1, 1- 7 1- 1 . . :Q se.. . , . ,.,.n,.11 1. , .. . ,. 4. -1-134,111 -1 -1 sz 1 .1 -.,1.'f , ug 'S I nz s R TK- ' N i v,-I' 1 :YA -fsif -:Q3 wa' 1 RN- :F '1-1 ,Q Q .H ,. . .few .1 1- .V .4 sf- 1 fm- . 1 1 -1 nw -Y 113 1 . 1-is . 1 f x . l ii: ? x X wk S!

A a ' - fa E3 JUNE, 1939 69 After an early start next day, we were fortunate enough to find excellent visibility for our drive along the Southern edge of the Grand Canyon. Away to the N.E. beyond the Colorado gorge stretched an endless pink desert, sand and rock. Exentually we were glad to leave this queer and almost lifeless region and, passing through the country of the Navajo and Apache Indians, reach the ranges and ranches lying to the Eastward. It was still very hot, but we were able to make good speed on High- way 66, a fine road, and ran into Gallup, New Mexico, by evening, putting up at a very pleasant Inn, El Rancho. This was the longest daily run of our trip, 480 miles. The drive through Western New Mexico was rather monotonous, ranch and desert scrub country, lying between steep and rocky plateaus, all of a curious reddish hue. At Albuquerque we crossed the Rio Grande and were at once in a completely different, Mexican world. Santa Fe, the capital, might have been nestling amongst the Sierras. The narrow, twisting streets, dark, flashing inhabitants, and the murmur of Spanish on all sides showed how close were the relations with the border, two or three hundred miles to the Southward. Once through the pass, the country became much richer, and we left all traces of the desert behind us. Some of the herds in Colorado were magnificent, mostly Herefords and Shorthorns. Here is a rare cattle country! The other great activity is mining, and particularly silver. Our change rattled on the tables in silver dollars, as in Montana. The road took us northward along the Eastern foothills, magnificent views of the big peaks to our left, rich ranges on our right. We made Denver on 20 September, and were looked after handsomely by our very kind friends, the Sanborns, at their charm- ing home. Denver is the heart of the middle west. It is fresh and clean, 5280 feet above sea level, its high level detracting from the height of the great mountains to the West. Here are enshrined all the traditions of the bad, bold days of the 90's, the cattle rustling, the mining rushes, the newspaper stunts, gambling, drinking and shooting. We were shown all the chief landmarks of this now pleasant and progressive city. One grand drive took us over the Berthoud pass f11,300 ft.J, northward towards Wyoming through the most lovely scenery, past some of the old mines, and home- wards over the Milner pass 112,000 ft.J. On the way down we passed through some magnificent Wapiti, the first we had seen during the trip. With many regrets we left Denver on 23 Sept. There is little to tell of our journey across the prairies. The road through Nebraska followed the Platte River to Omaha, a fertile valley, heavily irrigated, but enclosed by less productive prairie land on either hand. We were somewhat south of the dust-bowl, so we saw little of the results of over-intensive culti- vation. However, heavy crops of highly developed libre-rooted grasses are now doing much to bind the soil closer, and this combined with rest- ing may improve the dust-bowl conditions. As we travelled Eastward into Iowa the land improved steadily, changing to pleasant hill and dale country. Corn took the place of wheat, and the farms carried a strong head of cattle and pigs. The great Mississippi River, which we crossed at Davenport, was even then in flood. We enjoyed our short stay in Chicago, but must admit to feeling the strain of the rush of life generally and traffic in particular there. The 70 R. M.C. REVIEW Drake Hotel, one of the smaller hotels, was most comfortable. Strange to say, the Chicago police were not Cvisiblyl armed. By now the war clouds over Europe were indeed black and we were anxious to get back to Canada, quite prepared to cut our cable for home. Our drive took us around the pleasant Lake front and then through the vast industrial area of Eastern Chicago. Southern Michigan, a pleasantly wooded, mixed farming country, looked pretty in its red and gold autumn colours. We did not stop in Detroit, the home of so many automobile fac- tories, but hurried on over the border. The news, this night, 27 September, was as bad as could be. We went to bed in Windsor convinced that morning would announce the birth of another world calamity. On all sides, and from every grade of society we heard nothing but sympathy for Great Britain's part and position, nothing but loyal determination to go quickly to her assistance. During our drive across U.S.A., also, we found the depth of the sympathy and understanding for Great Britain through a good cross section of the country remarkable and encouraging. Our journey on 28 Sept. north of Lake Erie and through the wonder- ful fruit farms of the Niagara Peninsula was coloured, therefore, by dole- ful thoughts of imminent war and all it imported. We stopped at Hamilton to have tea with some friends, and suddenly the War Clouds cleared! All were agog with the news of Mr. Chamloerlain's courageous stand, and of the general improvement in the situation. By the time we reached Bronte, on the shore of Lake Ontario, where we stayed once more with Major and Mrs. Jack Osler, our spirits had fully recovered and we were able to enjoy happily our stay at Lake View Farm. Our last day's run through Toronto and along the North Shore of Lake Ontario covered familiar ground. We found Ontario much changed, however, since our departure, for the fall atmosphere was pleasantly cool, and all the woods were clothed in their most lovely autumn dresses. The Reds and Colds were gorgeous. We reached home in time for dinner on 29th September and found all well. The long journey -9531 miles - was over. We had found it full of interests and pleasures which have received only meagre description here, but we had enjoyed every moment of it. It is no platitude to state that the vast size of the continent impressed itself on our minds, for we have learnt that it is not possible to label American opinion. Circumstances, tradition and outlook differ widely in the Eastern States, in the Middle West, in the West, and in the South- ern States. Each group requires careful appreciation. Similarly in Canada the provincial outlook of French Canada diverges at many points from that of Industrial Ontario, the wheat and cattle country of the Middle West, or the fish, fruit and lumber regions of British Columbia. There is, also, the growing individuality of the rapidly developing Northern Terri- tories. Most of these clash sooner or later with each other and with what one might term a true and comprehensive Canadian view. No doubt, as transportation and political education improve, these divergent local feel- ings will tend to assimilate themselves to a powerful national heartbeat. Our journey has taught us that air transport will be a major factor in this development, with Wireless and an informed, judicious Press. Perhaps our most pleasant memory was the friendly courtesy and kindness of the hundreds of Canadians and Americans with whom we mixed during our trans-continental drive. JUNE, 1939 71 VVINGS FOR H. B. C. By NO. 2034, P. Y. DAVOUD T is now almost twenty years since a group of men with foresight, faith and determination introduced into the north a new means of transportation which was destined to hurdle all barriers and revolu- tionize travel. Theirs were real pioneering efforts, and from a shaky beginning they forged ahead and amassed a wealth of information and experience upon which today's network of northern airways is based. It is a tribute to their ingenuity, will power and determination that they were able to conquer physical and geographical obstacles, and at last to demonstrate to travellers that the aeroplane could be relied upon during both summer and winter. Summer operations presented few obstacles, chief of which was diffi- culty in taking off in hot weather on calm water. This has been practi- cally overcome today by improved propeller and float design, and engine installations providing a large reserve of power for take-off. Northern operators have also learned much about improved ski undercarriages for landings on heavily drifted snow, but they are still held up and forced to land when certain conditions of temperature and humidity cause ice forma- tion on wings and propellers. It is true that airliners operating on sche- dules over highly organized routes are equipped with elaborate facilities to deal with ice formation, but this expensive equipment is not justified on bush operations, as flying of this sort is carried out on a contact basis, in sight of the ground. If bad icing conditions are prevalent or encountered en route, the flights are usually cancelled, or the pilot may land on one of the thousands of lakes or rivers which cover the north and provide emergency landing fields at all times. When forced down in the north by ice formation, it is usually possible to crack the ice off the machine with a broom handle or stick, and then continue the flight if conditions are not too severe. These, then, are the reasons for the enviable safety record established by northern operators-contact flying, experienced personnel, and the fact that practically every lake and river is a possible landing ground. Realizing the importance of communications, operators have equipped machines with radio, and most aircraft in the north today are constantly in two-way contact with their own company ground stations, as well as those operated by the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals and the Hudson's Bay Company. During the past few years, this accepted and tried means of trans- portation has played an increasingly important role in the Company's fur trade operations, and on occasions complete outfits have been freighted to posts by air. The Fur Trade Commissioner and district managers now cover, in hours and minutes, distances that formerly required days and weeks of wearisome travel by boat, canoe, and dog team. Realizing the permanency and value of air tra.nsport in the north, and in order to ascertain the maximum benefits to be expected from its more extensive use, the Company has ordered a twin-engine, all metal, Beechcraft mono- plane for fur trade operations. This machine will provide the highest degree of comfort and security and is equipped with all modern naviga- tion and safety aids, as well as two-way radio. It has an outstanding all- round performance, flies exceptionally well with one motor out of opera- 72 R. M. C. REVIEW tion, and cruises at 170 miles per hour on floats or skis. The machine, which will bear the registration markings CF-BMI, will be flown from the factory to Winnipeg in April, where it will be taken over by the Com- pany pilot, H. Winny, who will be in charge of its operation. After instal- ling floats and equipment for extended northern operations and completing radio adjustments, the ship will proceed to Edmonton, which will be its home base. It will be used to provide close administrative control and transport facilities for the three western fur trade districts and the Mackenzie River Transport. It is probable that experimental freighting and regular trips to as many outlying posts as possible will be undertaken. Notes and instructions will be issued shortly to all post personnel covering radio communication procedure, marking and levelling of landing runways for winter operations and weather reporting, and preparations have been completed for establishing gasoline caches at various posts. Successful operation will greatly depend on the accuracy of weather re- ports and judgment of safe landing conditions, and the men at the fur trade posts will have an important part in establishing the alert ground control which is so helpful in extended operations. It is hoped that before long all air operators in the north will be able to know they can expect a high standard of accurate information and intelligent assistance from all fur trade posts. When the Company's ship heads north in June, on each side of her streamlined nose will be a flag, rich in tradition and known everywhere - the Red Ensign with the familiar H B C lettering. Long flown from every post of the Hudson's Bay Company, it has carried into Canada's Arctic protection and understanding and prosperity. Now it will be a flash of bright colour along Arctic airways-but what it stands for has been written in the lives of fur traders over the span of three centuries. -Reprinted by kind permission of the Hudson's Bay Company and the Beaver THE CAKE 'YVALK HE annual Rook's Revenge took place on Wednesday evening, March 15, an evening appropriately slushy and wet, to make the after- math more interesting. Owing, apparently, to a lack of reliable information concerning eminent members of the lst Class, a large proportion of time was devoted to the Senior Staff, with suitable emphasis in suitable places, 'though nothing to annoy anybody. A skit by the F Company recruits, depicting the imaginary land of Beer Esses Emma , was the high spot of the evening, and got across several pieces of well aimed satire at goings-on around Navy Bay. Groucho Lithgow carried the big end of the show on his shoulders, as Master of Ceremonies and general utility man. He did well in the outfield and pitched a great game of ball in a fast moving imitation of our e-ver popular officer in the sky blue uniform. In the absence of the Commandant, Lieut. Colonel L. C. Goodeve. distributed the cakes to the Orchestra, F Company, and Messrs. Lithgow and Sims. -E. H. LEATHER.

The Canadian Mili- tary Institute of Toronto presented us with a very fine collection of military books and handbooks. Some duplicates among' them were handed over to the Riding School Library. We are in urgent need of more space, particu'arly working rooms for specialists, where the books they need can be segregated. In fact a College of our size should have a real library building and not just a series of rooms. The- Library is rapidly taking up its proper position as the workshop of the College and should have its special building as the various laboratories have.

REVIEW 3 3 MESS DINNERS, 1938-39 WO Guest Nights were held in the Mess Hall during the year which were planned to conform, as much as possible, with the routine -of an ofiicer's mess. The Commandant, officers of the Military Staff, and members of the Senior Civil Staff were present, and a minimum number of thirty guests. The band of the R.C.H.A. gave their much appreciated support from the nearby reception room, assisted, after the meal by Colour Sergeant Sinclair, G. C. Cantley and G. C. MacPherson, with their bag-pipes. The tables were arranged in an E formation with the arms stretching down the length of the mess. The ceiling lights were dimmed with coloured paper and red stre-amers were placed down the centres of the tables. The kitchen staff outdid 'themselves in providing delicious food on both occasions. Principal Wallace, of Queen's University, was the chief guest on November 10, and delivered a most interesting and instructive talk Linder the heading: Problems facing Canadian youth today. On, Feb. 3rd, we were most fortunate in having His Excellency Lord Tweedsmuir, at the College, and after dinner he spoke to us on: Lawrence of Arabia , which he had promised to do in 1937, when he last visited the R.M.C. His speech was very impressive and gave us an intimate look at a man whose life was always connected with a certain amount of mystery and much excitement. It is reproduced elsewhere in 'this issue. It is hoped by the cadets that the guest nights, which proved so suc- cessful this year, may be repeated in years to come. -A. E. MCMURTRY. INTERCHANGE VISITS Authority has been obtained from the Dept of National Defence Headquarters for the interchange of visits during the summer holidays, 1939. between Gentlemen Cadets of the R.M.C. of Canada, and the R.M.A. and R.M.C. of Great Britain. Considerable progress has been made with the necessary arrangeme-nts, and it is anticipated that the party from Canada will number approximately 20, and that from England 12. It is proposed that the party from Canada will sail on the 16th June and be absent for about five weeks, three of which will be spe-nt in England visiting the R.M.A. and R.M.C., selected Navy, Army and Air Force stations, sight-seeing in and about London, and ending with a motor tour of the West Coast of England, through Wales and the Lake District to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Greenock, to embark for the return voyage. The cost of this trip-3275.00 from port of embarkation to port of dis- embarkation--is to be borne by the cadets' parent or guardian.

The sixteenth game of the annual hockey series with the U.S.M.A. was played this year in Kingston on Saturday, March 4th, In an ex- tremely close and exciting game victory went to the West Point team for the first time since the series was inaugurated by the score of three to two. The U.S. cadets played a hard game, their close checking defen- sive play was particularly good, and they well deserved the win. The penalty bench again remained empty as it has for the last sixteen games, but this does not indicate that the teams did not bear down all the time. Before the game started the National Anthems were played and then the members of both teams were presented to the Minister of National Defence, the Hon. Ian MacKenzie. He spoke briefly about the series and exte-nded a warm welcome to the U.S.M.A. officers and players. West Point started with a five man attack and had three good shots on Fuger before the College team rallied and took the puck into the visitors' territory. Five minutes after the face-off Donohue broke away on a fast rush from behind his own blue line and passed to Devlin who shot from close in to score. This goal seemed to inspire the Pointers who continued with four man attacks and, four minutes later, Grant scored on a nice pass from Curtin, to put the visitors two goals up. At the half-way mark the College team came to life and in the second part of the period had nine shots at the West Point goal, while Fuger had only two to handle. The last three minutes were particularly exciting. Alex- ander went in alone only to have Larkin make a beautiful save, Morison and Martin took another play in which resulted in a scramble at the goalmouth. Then with only seconds left of play, Orton let loose a hard drive and took the rebound oi Larkin's pads to score the first goal for the College. The period ended with West Point leading by two to one. The second period ope-ned with both teams setting a fast pace, but strong defensive work stopped most of the attacks. The College played four men up throughout the pe-riod trying to even the score, but to no avail. Heidke almost scored for the Pointers on a play with Hazeltine and Salisbury but Fuger saved brilliantly. McCaffrey and Devlin com- bined on a play which ended in a wild scramble at the College goal, the puck rolling past the goalpost with but an inch to spare. Jansen, Brooks and Orton made some nice plays which came close to scoring but Larkin played well to stop them. The College missed several chances on an open net by erratic shooting. artin. urdy, M CC sen, Holmes, M Row: Jan BACK Q5 711 l1l -l-4 P H CD E o U2 if 5-4 o .Q 5 'I-1 CCI 5 o U2 -v-1 5-1 o 2 O 4-v CD D-4 E-4 ui cd -cs Q 5 D fx U2 .M o O F-4 FD cf O -4-D 5-4 Q - fx 5-4 on 2 -4-5 zn cn 5 E O 031 W Cd P4 Z FTJ U Ci' un BJ s.. an CD 5 E' B s-. as 'U CI cd X cn Zi fN ui cu s-1 D-4 'ci Q O E :fn nl E fl IS 4.5 D.

For the last half of the period the puck was in West Point territory almost continually, but the defensive play of the visitors and the brilliant work of Larkin in the nets held the College scoreless. During the period Fuger had only three shots to handle while Larkin stopped eleven. The College continued their offensive play in the third period and played four men up continuously. They had several good shots on the West Point goal. Then, six minutes after the period opened, McCaffrey broke away fast on a solo rush, swung around the sole defenceman, and went in alone to score. Two minutes later McCaffrey broke away with Devlin but Fuger outguessed him to save what looked a sure goal. Two goals down, the College played five men up, and for the remainder of the game the puck was kept in the West Point end of the ice. With only six minutes to go Brooks scored for the College with a terrinc shot from the blue line which lodged in the top right corner of the net. Gnly one goal down, the College tried harder than ever to tie the score, but the stickiness of the ice hindered the attackers and the close checking of the West Pointers kept them from getting any hard shots away. In the last minute, to relieve the pressure on the-ir own goal, the Pointers staged some quick rushes down the ice but Fuger handled the shots easily.

INTERMEDIATE I NTERCOLLEGIATE The league was comprised of the intermediate teams of McGill. Loyola, Universite de Montreal, Bishop's and R.M.C. The College played single games with Bishop's, U. of M., and Loyola at the Loyola rink in Montreal, each game counting four points for a win, and played two against McGill, one played in Montreal and the return game here, these counting two points each. The series started well with .a four point win over Bishops, and a loss and a win from the two games against McGill. However the last two games proved our downfall as Loyola, the ultimate league winners, beat us and we lost out to U. of M. in a close struggle. Bishop's: The first game was played against Bishop's on January 20th. The game was fast and clean with the College having the better of the play throughout. Bishop's opened the scoring in the third minute of play, but Morison scored the equalizer on a solo effort halfway through the period, and put the College ahead seven minute-s later on .a pass from Holmes. Orton increased this lead in the second period on a pass from Alexander. Bishop's attacked harder in the final session and were re- warded with a goal after eight minutes of play, but Starnes ruined their hopes by getting a penalty for tripping. While he was off Holmes stick- handled his way through the whole team to score singlehanded two quick goals. Bishops then played all their men up and finally scored with only 78 R. M. C. REVIEW a minute to go, and the score remained 5-3 for the College until the final whistle blew. Brooks became a casualty in the last period when he suffered a bashed nose, struck by a swinging stick, and he was lost to the team for the re-mainder of the season. McGill: The next night we played McGill in a very close game. Alexander scored in the first minute on a long shot, but McGill equalized this eleven minutes later. In the middle session Jacobson sent McGill into the lead on a solo rush and thirty-five seconds later MacBrien scored on a similar play. The score remained deadlocked until halfway through the last period when McGill scored on a nice combination play. The College then staged power plays for the rest of the game but Burrows broke away, leaving five R.M.C. men in the McGill end, to score the final goal and the game ended with McGill winning by 4-2. The return game with McGill was played in Kingston on February 5th, and the play was just as close as in the previous game. This time, however, the score was in our favour. Peto, up from the Juniors, scored a nice opening goal combining on a play with Orton. On the first play of the second period he again scored, but Chalmer of McGill equalized this ten seconds later. In the last minute of the period Holmes on a pass from Ale-xander increased the lead. Play was very even through- out the period and the hockey was very good. In the beginning of the last period MacBrien put the College one more goal up, scoring on .a lone effort, and this made the score 4-1. At this point McGill started playing four men up and tallied twice in the next few minutes. The last half of the period was very fast and exciting as the McGill team swarmed around the College net. Several scrambles occurred but Fuger played brilliantly, and even when McGill took their goaler out to have six for- wards they could not beat him. Thus the game ended in a win for the College with the score of 4-3. Loyola : The win over McGill left the te-am at the top of the league standing, and the team left for Montreal to play the final games with perhaps too much confidence. The Loyola game was played on Friday, February 10th. Some twenty-five ex-cadets were present to help out as a rooting section fwhich they did very welll. The Loyola team played fast, smooth hockey and had a clear edge on the play throughout. In spite of this they were held to one- goal during the first two periods. The goal was from a long shot by Allen, outside the blue line, the puck taking an odd bounce into the net as it hit a hump on the ice just outside the goalmouth. The College attacked repeatedly in the last session but Allen, the speedy Loyola centre, broke away three times with only one defenceman to beat and made the plays which ended in three more goals. The final score was 4-0 for Loyola. Only bad shooting on the part of the Cadets and brilliant goaltending b-y Kelly in the Loyola nets kept the College score- less. U. of Montreal: On the following night, the last game of the schedule, against U. of M., was played. The ice was poor. consequently the hockey was slow and ragged. From the beginning the College had by far the better of the play but the first period was scoreless. In the middle of the second JUNE, 193.9 79 period Peto laid a nice pass to MacBrien who scored from five feet out. Five minutes later Peto skated down alone and scored on a deceptive shot from the right boards. Then with but a minute to go Peto again scored, taking a pass from MacBrien. Going into the last period with a three goal lead, the College seemed to let up in their efforts. The French- men immediately put on the pressure to score twice early in the period. The game became rather rough and Peto and Durenceau drew major penalties, while MacBrien joined them a minute later for tripping. With only Fuger and three forwards on for R.M.C. the Frenchmen started to attack harder and Bourgoing tallied the tying goal. The College still had the better of the play and kept the puck in U. of M. territory, but their shooting was wild. They should have scored at least five times but seemed to rush their shots. Martin, Holmes and Morison were right in time and time again only to miss open nets through being over-anxious. Then, in the dying moments of the game, while the whose College team was pressing inside the Montreal blue line, Forget inter- cepted a pass and raced away to beat Fuger with a high corner shot, leaving the score 4-3 for U. of M. It was a hard game to lose, one which we should have won easily. McGill-Goal, Wyberg defence, Palmer, Chalmers, forwards, Keefer, Porteous, Jacobsong alternates, Cuke, Hebert, Young, Burrows, Harvey.

O.H.A.-SENIOR MBU The local group was composed, this winter, of Kingston, Queen's, Garrison and R.M.C. The College team played its be-st hockey in this league and wound up in second place. Single four-point games were played against Queen's and the Garrison and two two-pointers against Kingston. At the end of the regular schedule two playoff games with Kingston were played. Garrison: The opening game was against the Garrison, resulting in a win for the College by a 6-5 score. The play was as close as the score indicates, the last goal being tallied with but three minutes to play. R.M.C. 'took the lead with two quick goals by Morison and MacBrien while Garrison scored in the last minute of the period. Martin and Brooks 'tallied two more in the first three minutes of the next session to put the College up 4-1. At this point the weight and experience of the Garrison team began to tell and by the end of the period they tied up the score. This deadlock continued until Martin again scored on a lone effort, with only six minutes of the game remaining. Garrison equalised this less than a minute later, playing all their men up. Then Martin scored on a pass from Morison. The Garrison immediately took off their goaler and played six men up, but to no avail, as Fuger was at his best and stopped all that came his way. Although slightly outplayed the College made the most of every opportunity and won, to quote the Whig-Standard, on AM, 1939 TE CKEY HO COND SE R.M.C. qi 1 C? n A EU x. s QS O -N 2 3 'B :S '35 3 O-4 d O P: Q on M d CD cn un 5 E un cd Ili :S 'U s-4 I3 U 0 2 d an rn Q cd 'TS sl cu S2 'U s..

Morison and Martin starred for the College. the latter getting three goals, while Fuger was brilliant in the nets and MacBrien was a pillar of strength on the defence. Kingston: The first game against Kingston resulted in a loss by a score of 12-2. The speedy Kingston team had the College at their mercy throughout. They scored the first goal on the opening play of the game, counted two more in the first period and four in the second. Holmes scored twice in the final session but this seemed to spur on the Kingston team as they went on to count five times in the next five and a half minutes. In spite of the high score Fuger played well and the stickhandling of Holmes was excellent. Queen's: For the game against Queen's Peto and Jansen were brought up from the Juniors to replace Brooks and Morison who were injured in previous games. With their usual opening rushes the College scored twice early in the game, Orton and Holmes getting the goals. Queens tallied as the period ended and tied the score early in the second period. However, Peto broke away shortly after this and with only one defence- man to beat, scored to put the College back in the lead. Queen's con- tinued to carry the attack and, taking advantage of an R.M.C. penalty, tied the score again. Early in the final session Queen's went into the lead for the first time as one of the Cadets knocked the puck into his own n-et during a scramble. Hilborn evened this five minutes later, scoring on a pass from Holmes, and finally Jansen, with only fifty sec- onds to go, netted the winning goal. Queen's took their goaler out and played six men up in their last minute attempt to tie the score but the whistle blew with the College winners by 5-4. Kingston: Remembering their previous defeat by a 12-2 score, the College started the second game against Kingston without much hope However their hockey was much improved and they only went down, after a hard strug- gle, but the score of 2-1. MacBrien and Alexander gave Fuger good protection with their strong defensive work, while Fuger himself played well. MacBrien also led many of the College attacks and the Martin, Peto, Holmes line was strong. Kingston got their first goal on a long shot by Gordon, which rebounded off the boards and glanced off Fuger's skate into the net. This lead was increased in the second when Gow skated right in on Fuger and scored on a hard shot. The College missed many chances when close in through over-anxiety and by rushing their shots. Throughout the third period they had the better of the play and Martin scored on a pass from MacBrien, but they could not get the tying goal. Play-off Games: The end of the schedule found the College in second place, a playoff series was arranged, because of the time available for the right to advance to the provincial playoffs. Three of the team were in hospital with flu, so some of the Juniors were brought up to fill their places. The first game resulted in an overtime tie. Kingston scored twice in the first two periods as the College let them carry the play. Then the College consistent 82 R. M. C. REVIEW last period attacks brought goals by Holmes and Brooks. In the over- time Kingston took the offensive but the strong defensive play of Mac- Brien and McCurdy and the back-checking of the forwards kept 'them from scoring. The next game was the roughest of the season with sixteen penalties being handed out. The College continued its strong close-checking play and broke up most of the Kingston attacks without much trouble, but the latter capitalized on College penalties and scored three goals while the College was shorthanded. The Cadets again lost many scoring chances by poor shooting, their chief trouble this season. Jansen and Brooks got the College goals late in the game to keep the Cadets in the running but Kingston scored its final goal with less than a minute to play, and the game ended with the score 4-2. Thus Kingston went on to represent the group in the playoffs. The Aymer Burtch Benefit Game. An unfortunate incident occurred in the last game when Aymer Burtch of Kingston crashed heavily into the boards and suffered a bad leg injury. When the extent of the injury was know it was decided to stage a benefit game to help pay his hospital expenses. Kingston and R.M.C. formed a composite team to play against Queen's Seniors. Ray Marchand, the West Point coach, who played for Kingston back in 1910, donned the pads to play goal during the second period. Between periods skating races were held between the players of the three teams and Fuger brought the College fame by winning the goalkeepers' race. Incidently Queen's won by an 8-O score. We sincerely hope that Burtch will recover completely and play against us next winter. Kingston-Hewitt, Roberts, Nicholson, Burtch, Gordon, Gow, Hagen, Crawford, Boyd, Scrutton, Kosick.

J UN1oR HOCKEY The Juniors played only five games this year, four in the Junior B group, and one exhibition game with Regiopolis. The greater part of the team was made up of new faces to fill gaps left by those who graduated to the first team. The team put on an excellent showing this year, with plenty of spirit and stamina. Every game was keenly con- tested and while the team won only one, each game was a credit to the College and to the coaching of Capt. Lane. The first game was a 7-2 defeat by Queen's Juniors. The College had practically a new team and lack of speed and team-work showed up very noticeably. The second game against Kingston Juniors was a different story. The team put up a hard fight and although lacking the speed and finish of Kingston, made the City team go the limit to win by the close score of 3-2. The third game against Queen's resulted in a win for Queen's. The Juniors played an excellent game both offensively and defensively and forced Queen's to go overtime to win 5-4. This game eliminated the College from the O.H.A. series. The fourth and last JUNE, 1939 83 O.H.A. game was against the fast-skating Kingston Juniors who won 6-2. The College played their usual hard-fighting game and in spite of the score was a very good game. The last game of the season was played against Regiopolis in Holt Rink. The Regiopolis team was con- siderably lighter and although the Juniors lacked Somerville, Dundas, Jansen and Peto, we won the game quite handily 3-1. Regardless of the scores of the games, the Junior team was this year a big success. The new material quickly formed itself into a team which showed teamwork and spirit, and when injuries reduced the first team, Dundas, Peto, McCurdy, Jansen and Gardner stepped up and filled the Hrst team positions very ably. The outstanding players of the season were Dundas and McCurdy at defence, Jansen and Peto, forwards, and Somerville in goal.

BASKETBALL 1938-39 HE basketball season started out very well this year but injuries and the lack of sudicient reserves ruined our chances for a championship and once more there is nothing material to show for the winter's work. In pre-season exhibition games the College were able to hold Queen's Seniors to a draw and defeated a good Ottawa University team. The loss of Snow the captain and outstanding player, early in the season, however, removed much of the te-am's effectiveness. Before the last intercollegiate game, Williams and Nicol were out with sprained ankles, and Hull the first string centre missed several crucial matches because of an attack of influenza. In spite of these losses the team made valiant efforts and came very close to winning the E.O.A.B.A. championship. INTERCOLLEGIATE SENIOR HA7, BASKPITBALIJ In this league the College team lost every game played, but managed to give their opponents a bad scare in both the away games. The lack of strong reserves was the greatest difficulty encountered. R.M.C. vs- MacMaster University. Home and Home Games. The Colle-ge team made its annual western trip late in January and lost two close games. The game with MacMaster, played in the large Westdale Colle-giate gymnasium was particularly well contested and the decision was in doubt until the last minute- of play when MacMaster scored on a long shot to give them the victory by a score of 42-40. In this game Hull, Snow and Williams were outstanding for the College, while Nation and Bennett did fine work on the defence. In the return game at R.M.C., MacMaster proved 'too strong for the weakened College team. Before the first period was over R.M.C. was on the short end of a 36 score and were unable to catch up, although they played a much improved game in the second half. The final score was 55- 23.

As in the Macllflaster series the team did well away from home, but were badly beaten in the game played at Kingston. In Guelph the College forged in to an early lead on fine play by Snow and Williams, but before the end of the first period O.A.C. had slowly closed the gap and the second half opened with the teams all even. From then on until five minutes before full time, the teams matched basket for basket. When the score reached 35-35, O.A.C. suddenly broke away and scored 10 quick baskets while holding the College scoreless. The game ended 56-35. O.A.C. arrived in Kingston just as the annual epidemic of influenza was at its height, and had little difficulty in defeating a badly weakened College team. Snow, Williams, Nicol and Kaye were- on the sidelines, while many of those well enough to play had lost much time from prac- tice. The final score of this game was 60-19 which, however, is not indi- cative of the stubborn fight put up by the few survivors. E. O. A. B. A. - IN'r14:RM1+3n1A'ric Once again the College first team entered the Kingston city league in company with Queen's II's, Y.M.C.A., -and the Garrison. The College- won four games out of six played in this group, defeating Y.M.C.A. and the Garrison twice each. Queen's, however, proved to be just too much for us and managed to win both matche-s scheduled. In the final game with Queen's the College led by a single point until thirty seconds before full time when a perfect shot from far out gave Queen's the le-ad and the victory. .IUN1oR BAsK1+1'rBA1.1. The second team played in the Junior division of the E.O.A.B.A. with Queen's III's, Belleville and K.C.V.I. Although they failed to win a single game, the standard of play was well above that of last year and quite a few potential senior players were developed. Smart, Irwin, Allan and Smithies stood out and should improve- even more next year. A good feature of the team was the number of recruits playing on it. At one time or another six recruits took part in junior games. An interesting innovation was the home and home game series of exhibition matches played with Trinity College School. These games were very friendly affairs and an annual serie-s might well be instituted. INTERCOMPANY I3ASK1+1'1'BAI.I. The intercompany basketball competition this year was a great suc- cess, most of the games surpassing the senior matches in excitement and in the interest shown. There were six games played in which there were not more than three points difference betwee-n the teams in the final score. 105 players took part, many of whom should prove useful on College teams in the future. C company's strong team were- victorious, winning every game in which they played. -JOHN M. SINCLAIR. AM, 1939 TE BALL BASKET COND SE R.M.C. Field Webber, Baker, Ballantyne, Bennett, Jones.

NEXT DOOR-AND AROUND THE YVORLD! The establishment in January last of telephone service to New- foundland and the more recent inauguration of trans-Pacific 'telephone service to Australia marked two important steps forward in the process of refining trans-oceanic telephony and making it available to more and more people. It has been possible, of course, for Canadians to talk by telephone to Australia since 1930, but until the direct voice channel over the Pacific became available it was necessary to talk over a much longer, and therefore more expensive, route. When the announcement was made that telephone service between Canada and Newfoundland was established, many Canadian telephone users were surprised. With service to Australia, India, Honolulu, and Iceland having been available for some years it seemed to them amazing that Canadians had been unable to talk to their next door neighbour. The inclusion of Newfoundland in the world-wide voice communication net- work brought the number of countries or territories with which it is possible for Canada to be connected, up to seventy-eight. Telephone service now is so far reaching that even though the Russian fliers on a non-stop flight from Moscow to New York were forced down on Miscou-a lonely seacoast island some 130 miles north of Moncton, it was possible for them to be conne-cted with practically any one of more than 40,000,000 telephones throughout the world. Although Russia is one of the few remaining countries with which radio telephone service has not been established commercially a call was arranged between Moscow and Miscou by special request of Soviet offi- cials. The fliers chatted for over twenty minutes with the officials in Moscow and thus gave to Miscou the honour of being the first place on this continent to have telephone connection with Russia. s as - 1. .f ' J- it -.1---4:1 ,f 'ti' Hg A- A- Z, Isl! 7.

Deaths No. 8, Frederick Davis, C.E. COne of the Old Eighteen J Frederick Davis died on January 3rd, 1939, at his home in Elko, Nevada, U.S.A., from a heart attack. Born in Haldimand County, Ontario, in 1860, he was the eighth cadet to enter the College in 1876. He gradu- ated in 1879 as a sergeant. In 1880 he joined the engineering department of the Chicago, Burlington Sz Quincy Railway in Chicago. Two years later he went to Winnipeg as resident engineer for the C.P.R. and super- vised the construction of shops, terminal yards, depots, etc., in that dis- trict. In 1884 he received the contract to construct 20 miles of road for the C.P.R. in the Kicking Horse Valley, B.C. In 1885 he was a corres- pondent at the North-West Rebellion, and later that same year entered the employ of the Great Northern Railway as division engineer, in charge of way maintenance at Grand Forks. In 1890 he joined the Northern Pacific at Brainard, Man., as superintendent of bridges and buildings and in 1893 he held a similar position with the Duluth, Missabe and Northern Railway. From 1895-1901 he was in private practice in Duluth. In the latter year he went to Elko, Nev., where in 1905 he organised the Nevada Bunker Hill Mining Co., later the Aladdin Mines, and became superin- tendent of the Nevada School of Industry in Elko. At various times he was correspondent for the Toronto Globe and the Winnipeg Free Press. Mr. Davis was an Honorary Life Member of the R.M.C. Club.

The same situation very seldom occurs twice. At present we are handling all the weather reports from here right out to Guam, Manila then takes over from Guam into Hong Kong. But things are shaping up so that there will be a Flight control and Meteorological Office set up at Honolulu to take care of the Honolulu-Guam sector and also the Honolulu-New Zealand run, in co-operation with the New Zealand terminus, leaving San Francisco to handle the SFC-HNL runs exclusively. I am slated for the Honolulu office which is supposed to open in a couple of months. The people I work with are splendid fellows and I really enjoy the work very much. Our new ships, the huge Boeing 314 Flying Boats, are beau- tiful. The interiors are the last word in luxurious comfort and the ships themselves are so wonderfully proportioned that it is difficult to appreciate their immense size unless you compare the-m with something else or get inside and look from the rearmost suite to the bow. There is a de-parture of the China Clipper this afternoon and I expect Capt. McGlohn and others of his crew in for a meteorological conference any minute now.

ENGLAND. EX-CADETS, DINNER HE second Annual Dinner of the recently formed English Branch of the Ex-Cadets Club took place at the Mayfair Hotel, London, on Friday, February 3rd, 1939, when, despite the terrors of the traditional London fog, 41 ex-cadets assembled from all parts of England to meet old friends and to talk of their days at the College. It was particularly gratifying to those permanently living in England to meet and exchange views with so many of the Canadian Forces who are here on Army Courses. Major General Sir Dudley Ridout, K.B.E., C.B., C.M.G., CCollege No. 1239, was the senior ex-cadet present and for the seoond year presided. Those present were : 123 Maj. Gen.

Thev were Capt. A. B. Sullivan, 17th!5th. Lancers and Maj. G. H. A. MacMillan. Before Dinner an informal meeting was held, when the minutes of the last meeting were reviewed and the following points were decided,- Clj That the organisation should continue on its present basis, with a Secretary to organise an Annual Dinne-r and with the R.M.C. Register to be kept in Canada House and to be available on request, for all EX-cadets visiting, or residing in England. Q25 That the Annual Dinner be held in October. when more oflicers of the Canadian Forces are .arriving on various Courses. Q35 That only EX-cadets and EX-members of the R.M.C. Staff should be invited to the dinner. 645 That 974, G. A. Strubbe, Esq., of H. K.

Griffin, Esq., of 28 Braidley Rd., Bournemouth, Hants. After Dinner, Sir Dudley Ridout, in proposing the toast to The College, welcomed the ex-members of the staff and said that he hoped we should see many more of their numbers present at any future dinners. JUNE, 193.9 109 In praising the system of training which the College gives to us, he pointed out that it was the same in principle in his days at the College H8855 as at present and went on to say how much he enjoyed following the careers of those who came to England to join the Imperial Forces, from the time their Pen Pictures appeared in the Review. and onward. W. M. R. Griffin, in replying to the toast, claimed a unique record for C.B., R..L. and D.D.'s during his recruit year and recalled how his dislike for the Square in those dark days has been replaced by a genuine affection for everything to do with the College. He recalled a Battalion parade on skates on the Bay when many amusing incidents occurred. After a Roll Call by College Numbers, Provinces and Branches of the service, Colonel H. S. Rogers moved a vote of thanks to Sir Dudley Ridout for so ably presiding and expressed the hope that in future dinners some more of the older EX-cadets would make every endeavour to attend. -No. 2027, J.

REVIEW NEYVS LETTER FROM No. 2281, DUNCAN L. GORDON. Monday, April 10th, 1939. 14 Beaumont Road, Toronto. Dear Editor: I have been meaning to write to you for some time to tell you of some of the ex-cadets that I saw last summer during a trip around the world. I got back just before Christmas and hence was too late to give you any news for the Christmas number of the Review and I fear that by this time any news that I have will be out of date. I will, however, tell you what I know of the ex-cadets whom I saw and some of the information may be of use to you. I had better just explain what I was doing on my trip. I went out to Australia as one of the junior secretaries to the Canadian Delegation attending the British Commonwealth Relations Conference in Sydney. After the Conference I broke away and returne-d by way of the Dutch East Indies, Singapore-, India and England. The first ex-cadet whom I ran into was, No. 851, Col. L. V. M. Cosgrave. He graduated from the College just before the war. He is now Canadian Trade Commissioner in Australia. Previously he had the same post in Shanghai and was in command of the volunteer troops who held the city during the Japanese invasion in 1931 until the regular British troops arrived. I gather that he is doing a wonderful job in Australia and has done a great deal to make the Australians like and understand the Canadians. The next ex-cadet was No. 2063, Stue Ward, who gradu.ated in 1931. He is out there with the Shell Oil Company and apparently has been given a wonderful opportunity to travel all over the country and really get to know it. He seemed a bit vague as to his plans since they depend very much on the Company who may at any time send 'their men anywhere. While I was in Australia I went and called at R.M.C. Duntroon. Brigadier Matthews had very kindly given me a letter to the commandent, Brigadier Mills, be-fore I left. He very kindly sent for the orderly oHicer, who was an ex-cadet. and he showed us all round the college. They have an ideal situation but unfortunately have been short of funds and hence as they have added buildings they have crowded them on top of the old ones with the idea that they would be only temporary, but unfortunately they have now become permanent. I did not have an opportunity of JUNE, 1939 lll seeing the cadets on parade or of meeting any of them. The cadets all go into the regular forces and there are far fewer of them and as a result they become officers rather than cadets when they join. It was a most interesting visit and I only wish that I had been able to spend more time and see more of it. I inclose three pictures that I took around the square. The next ex-cadet was No. 1631, J. C. Barry in Singapore. He graduated in 1926 and went into the Colonial police. He- is now the Deputy Superintendant of Police for the Straits Settlements and is stationed in Singapore. He had just returned from Canada where he had been getting married in Montreal last July. He was most interesting as he knows the town inside out and all the different racial differences that occur there. My next ex-cadet was No. 703, Col. C. F. Carson, in Lahore, India. I spent one night with him in Lahore, but there is not much that I can tell you about him that will be news as he has just arrived back from the summer in Kingston when you no doubt saw him. - I went from there up to the North West Frontier where I stayed with No. 2294, L. H. Packard. He was with the 24th Mountain Battery, R.A., stationed at Kohat. He seems to be enjoying army life very much and to be with a very nice lot of officers. If you ever need an Indian Correspondent I think that he would be very glad to take on the job as he is keenly interested in all the ex-cadets in India. No. 2290, Joe Menard, who is out on transfer to the Indian Army, was stationed at Charbaug so we went up and had lunch with him. At the time he was stationed at the last British outpost in the Khyber Pass for five weeks with one other English officer. I understand that he will move from one part of India to another during his whole time out there. He also hopes to get stationed at Singapore on his way back to Canada. I saw No. 2280, T. R. Gemmell for a brief second when he returned from leave to Kohat just as I was leaving. I have since heard that he has had Malaria very badly for the last three months and expected to be sent back to Canada on leave, but at the last minute was transferred to an anti-aircraft battery in some other part of India. I believe our class just missed out on making college history while I was there as we had planned to have a class party in Peshawar at which there would have been twenty percent of our class who graduated three years before. Unfortunately the army willed otherwise and some of the lads who would have come could not get away and the party was cancelled, however there were five of us within a hundred miles of each other on the Frontier over the week-end, Gemmell, Menard, Packard, McLaughlin and myself, which is the twenty percent. Johnson is also in India but I believe is stationed in Quetta. I visited No. 2279, A. F. Galloway and 2360, K. H. Stevens at the R.E. mess at Chatham and spent a very pleasant evening with them. I understand they are hoping to get out for the June Ball this year if all goes well. I also paid a flying visit to Cambridge and saw seven ex-cadets but hardly had time to get much information about them. I sent to the library, care of Col. Stuart, the books and records of the Conference in Australia which I hope you received. I am hoping to get down to Kingston for the ex-cadet week-end and will see you on my visit.

Review, they be taken as read and adopted. -Carried. 4. President's Report. The President reported on the activities of the Club for the past year. as follows:- To the Members of the Royal Military College Club of Canada:- Gentleme-n : I have very much pleasure in reporting upon the activities of the Club during the past year. Owing to the fact that we have sent out . I R. M. C. REVIEW Bulletins during the year which de-scribe rather fully various questions taken up by the Executive Committee I shall confine myself to mentioning some of these points without elaborating upon them. We had the privilege of welcoming No. 749, Brigadier H.D.G. Crerar, D.S.O., to the post of Commandant and of expressing our best wishes to No. 605, Professor O. T. Macklem upon his retirement from the College staff. We have kept in touch with Mr. R. L. Way, M.A., who is planning the writing of the College history but he has been unable owing to pressure of business to make a great deal of progress during the past year. Mr. Walter Douglas, No. 249, very kindly presented the College with a valuable collection of arms and armour which formerly belonged to the President of Mexico. We are urging upon the Government the necessity for providing a suitable room at the College in which to exhibit these very old and rare pieces. The activities of the Club in securing employment for Ex-Cadets have continued steadily throughout the year. Most of this work was carried out in the larger centres such as Montreal and Toronto. The necessary le-gal arrangements concerning the Endowment Fund were finally completed and the following Trustees are now in charge of this Fund:- Colo-nel Arthur L. Bishop. Major Everett Bristol, .C.M.G., K.C. Colonel C. W. G. Gibson, M.C., V.D., A.D.C., K.C. Lt.-Col. H. D. L. Gordon, D.S.O., V.D. Lt.-Col. W. B. Kingsmill, D.S.O., V.D., K.C. At the suggestion of the Commandant the Parent Club secured a fund of 31,000.00 for the purpose of supplying the athletic teams of the College with proper equipment. This sum of 551,000.00 was largely raised through the co-operation of the Branch Clubs and I wish to express my very great appreciation for the enthusiastic response and the great co- operation which they have shown in rendering this assistance to college athletics. Our recommendation of last year that the Club should have two representatives upon the Advisory Board was acceded to by the Govern- ment and this year you are represented by the Immediate Past President Major G. L. Magann and myself. We are taking up with the Advisory Board the pension qualifications of Graduates who join the Permanent Force and flood-lighting for the playing fields, and we are recommending that a repre-sentative of the Club be placed upon the Selection Committee which makes the final decision upon the entrance of qualified Cadets to the College. I would point out in connection with this latter item that the new calendar which the College has published this year explains in considerable detail the manner in which candidates are accepted for en- trance to the Royal Military College, but we feel that in addition to this information a great deal of the present criticism of the manner in which candidates are admitted could be obviated if we had our own representative on the Selection Committee. I regret to report the de-aths of the following Ex-Cadets during the past year: No. 2203, P XO P. F. Birks, killed in aeroplane accident at Camp Borden, June 3, 1938. No. 108, C. E. Cartwright, died at Vancouver, B.C., July 4th, 1938. No. 8, Frederick Davis, died at Elko, Nevada, U.S.A., January 3rd, 1939. No. 231, Frank P. Jones, died at Montreal, Quebec in March 1939. JUNE, 1939 115 No. 74, F. M. Kerby, died at Grand Forks, B.C., March 10th, 1938. No. 191, G. H. Massey-Baker, died at Kerema, Papua, in December, 1938. No. 149, Roderick McColl, C.E., died at Halifax, Nova Scotia, March 2nd, 1939. No. 1603, Charles R. Rumsey, killed in aeroplane accident in British Columbia, June lst, 1938. No. 148, W. G. Yorston, died at Truro, Nova Scotia, October 5th, 1938. No. 222, Morris, E. M., Brig.-Gen., C.B., C.M.G., died England, 2nd Jan., 1939. In closing I would like to express my very great appreciation for the enthusiasm and the assistance which not only the indefatigable Hon. Secre- tary-Treasurer Capt. Nicol Kingsmill and the Members of the Executive Committee have given me .during my year of office, but also those Members who have served on this Committee in past years and who have ever been ready to assist in every conceivable way the furtherance of the aims of the Club. All respectfully submitted, May 13th, 1939. Kingston, Ont. -ALLAN M. MITCHELL. The President moved the adoption of his report, seconded by R. L. Smyth, Esq.-Carried. 5. Financial Report. The Secretary-Treasurer, Capt. Nicol Kingsmill, submitted to the meeting the following financial statement for the year ending December 31st, 1938. It was moved by Capt.

E 'Q 52 6 '-N ' Q ni, KS 5 O 'Q-I .Sk SSW' 9' I JUNE, 1939 119 The President advised the Meeting that the first recommendation regarding positions being advertised in the Civil Service had been favour- ably re-ceived, and the Board had decided to pass on the Club's recom- mendation to the head of the Civil Service Commission. The second recommendation regarding Flood-lighting around the College playing field was included in the Commandant's report to the Board, and the Club's representatives supported the Commandantis peti- tion that a flood-lighting system be installed as soon as possible. The recommendation of the Club that an EX-cadet be appointed to the Central Board of Selection for the purpose of selecting candidate-s for admission to the Royal Military College was discussed by the Board, and a special committee was appointed to consider and report on the whole question of Selection Boards, both Central and Provincial. The final recommendation of the Club, with reference to qualifications and seniority of graduate-s of the College joining the Permanent Force, in so far as it effects pensions, was discussed by the Advisory Board, and was given careful consideration. The President asked the Chief of the General Staff, Major Gen. T. V. Anderson, to address the Meeting on this question. Gen. Anderson stated that at present an officer in the Permanent Force, in so far as it affects his qualifications for pension, receives credit for the full time he has served in the Permanent Force and half time for the time he has been in the N.P.A.M., which would include service in the C.O.T.C. He pointed out that a possible way to remedy the present situation as far as EX-cadets were concerned would be to en- deavour to obtain an order in Council passed declaring that the Cadet Battalion at the Royal Military College was a unit of the N.P.A.M., and if this were done it would give graduates of the College two years seniority or credit for half the time spent at the College, provided they completed their four year course. He stressed the point, however, that several com- plications might arise if this ruling was put into force, and made retroac- tive, as it would mean that in a number of cases, R.M.C. graduate officers would be retired on pensions earlier than they had anticipated, due to the fact that they had attained two years additional seniority, and he felt that before the Club pressed this recommendation to a conclusion, it should approach the officers at present in the Permanent Force and obtain their opinions. Gen. Anderson suggested that all officers in the Per- manent Force be canvassed and it was suggested that a questionnaire along these lines be sent out in the next copy of the Club Bulletin and that nothing be done officially by the Club until the opinion of those vitally affected had been obtained. 13. Endowment Fund. The President reported to the meeting that for many years the Club had been carrying in its books a small balance in the Memorial Arch Account, and as the Arch was now the property of the Canadian Govern- ment, it was the recommendation of the Executive Committee that the money held in this account amounting to 3226.03 be turned over to the Endowment Fund. This recommendation met with the approval of the meeting, and it was moved by W. H. O'Reilly, Esq., and seconded by Major H. E. Vauteletz- That this meeting approve of the transfer of the sum of 3226.03 from the Memorial Arch Account to the Trustees of the Endowment Fund Account. --Carried. 120 R. M. C. REVIEW 14. Life Membership Fees. Mr. Robertson spoke to the meeting on the question of having all future Life Membership fees turned over to the Endowment Fund after the death of a Life Member. Mr. Robertson stressed the point that this proposal was to operate only with respect to future Life Memberships, and not to affect Life Memberships obtained in the past, until and unless the Club itself feels that a portion of this fund should be turned over to the Endowment Fund. It was moved by Mr. Robertson, and seconded by Mr. O'Reilly: That any Life Membership Fees paid after the date of the next Annual Meeting of the Club be held by the Club until the death of 'the Life Member, at which time the Life Membership fee of the deceased Life Member will be turned over to the Endowment Fund. -Carried. 15. Summer Employment For Cadets. The President read a letter received from Lieut.-Col. K. C. Burness, Chief Instructor, Royal Military College, asking for assistance- in plac- ing Cadets in Summer jobs during their Summer vacation. The names of the Cadets were read at the meeting, and the nature of employment desired. The President urged that any EX-Cadets in a position to help Cadets find summer employment communicate at once with Col. Burness. 16. Amendment to Constitution. The President read a letter received from the late Roderick McColl, who lost his life in the Queen's Hotel fire at Halifax, on March 2nd last. This letter contained a resolution which Mr. McColl desired to be sub- mitted at this Annual Meeting. The Resolution read as follows :- Article VI, Section I, is amended by adding the following .after the words Secretary-Treasurer at the end of the first clause. 'The President shall be chosen alternately from members resident in Cab Maritime Provinces tbl Province of Quebec ich Province of Ontario Cdl Western or Prairie Provinces. When the President elected resides more than 250 miles from Kingston, the lst vice-presi- dent shall be chosen from members within 250 miles of Kingston. Section 1, Article XVII is amended by repealing the first clause of section ending with the words 'Advisory Board' and substituting the following:- 'The President shall be the Club's representative on the Royal Military College Board if only one member is appointed and the lst vice-president if a second member is to be appointed. If a third member should be appointed he shall be selected by the Club in Con- vention'. The President pointed out that under the Constitution any amend- ment to the Constitution must reach the Secretary-Treasurer, for the purpose of distribution to the Members, not less than three months prior to the Annual Meeting. and it was, therefore, not possible to deal with this resolution at this meeting. It was decided to leave this matter 'to the General Council for consideration. 17. Correspondence. The President read a letter received from the former Commandant, Major-General H. H. Matthews, C.M.G., D.S.O., regretting his inability to be present at the Club Dinner. JUNE, 1939 121 18. General Council. It was moved by Major-General T. V. Anderson, and seconded by Capt.
