I met a lot of the lied Deer boys in tho 2nd M R s (the old 12th boys) There aro a few left to cany on the good work Tho last time I was in the lino our Battalion took a few prisoners I saw one wounded fellow coming out of one of the communication trenches You would hav e laughed Ho had his left arm in a sling and a ngked bay- 0:onet 0:bayonet in his right hand In front of him wero seven Fritzses and they sremed very happy to be back in some of their old territory I guess that they know when they are well off Tho worst of Tutz is that ho seems to think that we are some sort of financiers and that wo have all sorts of cigaicttes that we keep for their use They talk about our superiority in munitions but just one day in the hue here will soon convince one that .the Bntish arc not the only ones who have lots of shells The worst of it is that 1 ritz knows all this country and has the rango of ditlerent places wheio tioops are liablo to bo 1 see a lot of talk in tho papers about what we call tanks Some seem to imagine that they aro some- 0:thing 0:something indestructible, of course, tboy I aro fine things but not so gieat as most people would have ono behove i I have just '-card that Aubtria and Turkey havo acceded for peace That sounds good We may yet be home for Christmas 1'J17 I wouldn t mind having to stay in Trance until Christ mas liU'i' as lung as tho war was over. The people havo begun to come back to this pai t of Prance and a number have started stores of differ- 0:ent 0:different kinds They seem determined to soo how much they can get out of tho British soldier, One lady had the nerve to ask five francs ($1) for a quart tin of peaches 1 think that has got all Western Canada prices boaten. There are a lot of rumors floating around since this peace rumor camo in Of course, wo get lots of ru- 0:mors 0:rumors here so that it is hard to put any stress on any of them Mis Maben, North Red Doer, has letters from her rods ueurefc "M William, William was shot through the kneo and isin hospital, but mak- 0:ing 0:making progress.

Defence of Nieppe Forest (12-15 April, 1918)
' . FRONT The following Jetter was received by Mrs Meeres from her son "Teddy"' a few days ago: Somewhere In France, -i - April 1st, 1918 , Dear Mother, The fact that my birthday parcel required over ,"sisc weeks "to cover.jthe distance between RedJDeer and hls desolate corner of creation did not- dampen the warmth of the reception, accorded it when it Anally did put In an appearance at Its destination. Thahkr you very much for it, mother .dear, I enjoyed1-- Its contents thoroughly, though the min- 0:ister 0:minister of the Interior in his official com- 0:munique 0:communique for the evening of its arrival mentioned impending disorders How- 0:ever, 0:However, pn the following day I changed my address to the last Btopplng place this side of Nq Man's Land, where weightier matters relegated such triv- 0:ialities 0:trivialities to the background So yesterday -was Easter, that was according to the calendar, but It was a strange Easter for me It is a spirit peculiar to the o'ccasion that marks Easter for. me, not the day of the year on which it happens to fall It is the spirit of traoscendant beauty and grandeur and purity that springs from the Easter music and that wonderful story of the Resurrection declaimed from the pulpit at the morning service and that seems to mingle with the very perfume of those glorious Easter Hllles, with their satiny, ivory petals, and wonderful golden centres, that adorn the pulpit Out gt doors it is the spirit of bril llant sunshine of awakening life, run ning 8ap, and the first shy forerunners of the crocuses pushing their lavender tinted petals between the tufts of dry grass on the hillside Over here we are favored with brilliant sunshine, the scarred trees, whose vitality has survived the scourge of shell and shrapnel, and the hedges here bursting into leaf. Field and meadowy were dotted with the gold- of dandelion buttercup, and white and gold, of the daisies, with here and there a clump of yellow daf- 0:fodils, 0:daffodils, from sheltered banks, shy pur- 0:ple 0:purple violets breathed forth their exotic fragrance on the air while in the shel ter of the woodland fragile white an emones bloom in wild profusion England must be wonderful " now. When I was over on leave two weeks ago the lilac bushes were masses of purple and ivory blossom, on sunny banks primroses were opening their velvety creamy tinted petals, and be- 0:neath 0:beneath the hedges delicate snowdrops curtsied low-to the passers by Today is April Fool s day, but we are Just a little bit too close to Mr Boche to stage very many foolish escapades There was a rumour that Hunle was going to send over some "dud" shells instead of live ones to celebrate the occasion, but the only man to believe it left us by an aerial route without the aid of a plane, and they are still gathering up the pieces. The terrain of a Somme battlefield has nothing on one side of my.smlling countenance just now, thanks to the unwelcome presence of a splendid replica of one of Job's comforters The MO cut a trench in it yesterday with his lance and I guess the jelly like yellow stuff along the bottom of it must be the mud while there was a mine crater thlB morning after he extracted the core Probably you know the Biggs' fam- 0:ily 0:family at Hill End A cousin of theirs from Innisfail, one of our runners, -was badly hit last time in the" line, and succumbed to his wounds about an hour afterwards A particularly sad feature of his case was that his BHgh ty leave was cancelled the day we went into the line Love TEDDY

LETTERS FROM THE . FRONT Prance, 26th Oct 1918 Dear Mr Qarswell I am going to write you a letter describing as best I can, and as fulls as censor regula tions permit, the liberation of French cities towns and "Villages, which I have participated lir as "one ot our glorious Canadian army The battles and operations, or 'shows" as we call them, which made the enemy retreat, have only too well been' described by our war correspondents, but I wish to de- 0:scribe 0:describe the aftermath as it were to the best ability of a humble "Tommy" wearing the King's uniform Our unit was resting quietly In ojie of the war battered cities of France not far from the battle line, yet out of harm's way of the enemy long range guns, when one Sunday, Just after church parade, an urgent message came in to be prepared to move In two hour's notice Now, the moving ot a unit is not a simple matter, and It was 'a rush to get din ner rations for the balance of the day arrange your marching equip ment, and do all the odds and ends necessary to clearing billets, which all take time But at the appointed hour we were away and marched pro bably one and a half miles, where we were joined by other units with whom we were brigaded and where we found a seemingly endless line of motor lorries ready to transport us to our destination or at least part of the way We soon had them loaded to capacity and any returned veteran can tell you what that means and how comfortablj ( ') we were able to sit or stand Our journey was down one of the historic cob bled roads of France connecting two famous places for a distance of some miles when we were dumped out near a small village in which we se cured accommodation tor the night Our billets were old disused stables and the hard floors, our mattresses and our greatcoats and rubber sheets our blankets, and yet we managed to sleep comfortably It is wonderful how much hardship you can put up with when you know com forts are utterly unobtainable Ear ly the following morning we "fell in ' ready to proceed further, but or ders held us up tih towards noon when we started on our march to re ileve a much battered Imperial unit who had long been in the thick of the fighting, and whose ranks were naturally depleted considerably and the remainder nearly worn out with fatigue Our front was along one embankment of a canal while Heinle was holding the other side and dur ing the hours of darkness the posts and patrols were only separated bv 30 or 40 yards After holding this ground for a few days, during which both sides suffered from artillery fire and gas shells, a whisper came through that an attempt was to De made to force the passage of the canal as the enemy were preparing to or were evacuating this territory During the late afternoon onr Com pany Commander with a small patrol successfully bridged an opening in a broken bridge with telephone poles and doors and soon we began to dribble across until the whole unit and (hose on either flank began a simultaneous crossing and a move forward Too much credit and praise cannot be given to those who took the necessary chances of bridging the canal and also to those patrols who preceded us Into the enemy land but all went well, as he had evacu ated a few hours previous, but the difficulty was to know how far he had gone This latter patrol work was all done in the hours of dark ness and nothing could prevent them walking into an enemy ambush The Huns used every available means to block his trail, such as blowing up bridges mining the roads, railroads and the placing of wire in our path, necessitating a slow and careful ad vance, but we went on and on and by morning had arrived at a village pretty well destroyed by shell fire After only a few hours rest and for breakfast which we had carried with us on we went again, until after a few kilometers advance we ran into machine gun fire, which told us we had overtaken the enemy rearguard Then began the duel between our machine guns and his and by keep Ing on his trail we gradually worked him back advancing slowly all the time passing through several small villages from which he had evident ly made a hasty withdrawal as un clean dishes were on the table and drawers were all pulled out and the furniture strewn everywhere but otherwise things were not damaged too badly although nothing of a brass or copper nature was left These had been requisitioned months ago Early in the afternoon we came to a farm house, where we found our first civilians consisting of three ladies and five children, and the re ception we got is difficult to relate Happiness shone out over their faces while tears of joy streamed down their cheeks and nothing was too much for them to do, by way of supplying coffee to those who were fortunate enough to be near them, and other kindnesses The fatigue of the past few days, during which time we had very little rest and con siderable marching with heavy loads and under a heavy nervous Btrain seemed to pass away as if by magic when we saw the contentment we brought to these few prisoner civil ians From this point on especially when, passing through villages our advance was like the return of a tri umphant army We were the first troops in a fairly large village (ex cepting the advancing patrols) ar riving there just as darkness was closing in and the cheering of the in habitants made our loads light and our feet springy and the lads march ed in whistling and singing and pas sing greetings with the civilians Coffe, coffee seemed to behe call on every side, and I know 6 1 at leaBt one lady who gave out-over 150 cups and for which she would1 never get even one franc, although her pretty little daughter fared well by way of souvenirs from the hoys We here ran into one of the beastlal acts of the Hun. He had left hut a few hours before we entered, but prior to leaving, two of the drunken Bwlne stoned to death an old woman of over 70 years of age for no reason whatever Tales of cruelty are numerous, but I will leave that to those better qualified to relate Early the following morning began a march I will never forget It took us through a fairly large city that had been in enemy occupation for over four years, and not only were there the civilian s who belonged there rightly, but considerable num hers ot refugees from other parts from which they had been driven by the Huns The people, mostly" young children and old men and women, lined both sides of the street, which had been decorated with the tricolor of France produced from some hid- 0:den 0:hidden recesses, and as we went along, happy were their faces and loud their cheering and waving ot small French flags which had been dropped to them by an Allied aeroplane Ev ery one ot us had at least one flag stuck around his person, and we marched along just as if we were on a king's inspection and were fully rested for the occasion, Instead of war fatigued troops Personally I would not have exchanged my post tion In those ranks tor a review by any other living human but there were two men I really envied They were Colonel Lionel Page, who rode at the head ot our unit and Captain Arthur Slade (son of Joseph Slade, formerly of Red Deer) who as Com pany Commander rode at the head of our Company These two, both formerly of Red Deer, must have been proud to have had the place of hon or which was rightfully theirs After a tew days strenuous following up we are now having a short rest In the same city, the battalion having good quarters In a large barracks, while a few of us are fortunate In being billeted out with some French families where soft bods and clean linen are more than appreciated Every home Is open to us, and on walking down the street you are met on every hand by calls of "coffee, cot fee, monsieur'' The people here have been kept alive by the Americans, who supplied them with the necessaries of lite through their Relief Commission but the bread, sugar, etc, was nearly all taken by the Germans, and their own poor rations substituted for it, so that the civilians have only led an existing life for over four years, with no news from the outside world ex cept that furniBhed by the Huns, which usually was false It Is really amusing to listen to the boys trying to make themselves un derstood by the population but it is really wonderful, too, how we get along together I am stopping with an aged French couple, and she Is like a grandmother to me, and she strives very hard to make me under stand what she says, and I am And ing it easier every day to "compre" This may be a rather wandering letter but have striven to give you at least a hazy Idea of conditions here and If you think the information will be of interest to your readers you are at liberty to use it, cutting out any personal stuff and correcting w here necessary Colonel Page has just been grant ed a second bar to his D S O , which is an exceptional honor, and one which is not held but by few in the British army, and I doubt it there are as many with this triple decora tion aa there are V C s There are a number of Red Deei boys still with the unit, Including Teddie Meeres, Frost (a son of Mr Frost war prisoner in Germany), Paul Eggen, Whltlaw Ross (ot Pine Lake), Johnny Bennett, Springbett, and others, and all appear to be making good Trust you and Mrs Carswell are enjoying the best of health and with many hearty good wishes and oest thanks for past favors, I am, Yours sincerely, JIMMIE MANN

letters Fronnhe Front Douglas Wilton writes to his uncle Mr. E Wilton, as follows I Well, I was up around Ypres way 'in the beginning of Juno driving an ambulance. That was the most ex- 0:citing 0:exciting work I've been on, gee, it was hot when Fritz came over at the 'fourth battle of Ypres 1 was four days and nights without a wink of sleep, running up and down as close to tho trenches as the road went, and always bringing down a full load over the worst roads on earth, all one mass of shell holes, and had to pass through each journey Needless fo say that road was shelled heavily, and I sure got seared stiff when I saw my first shell burst ahead of me it's no cheerful feeling, believe me, but after a few burst you don't no- 0:tice 0:notice them unless thoy come extra close. One of our ambulances, Daim- 0:ler's 0:Daimler's was blown to bits and we had I four drivers killed out of fourteen, and our Sergt -Major got a D C M , I nd a voung fat kid who was a great chum while I was up 'there, got a M M , so as the whole outfit was men- 0:tioned 0:mentioned in dispatches, we did pretty well Gee is a mess, all lev- 0:elled 0:levelled down practically There had been some wonderful buildings, and we all got souvenirs galore BelgiuW is not bad, but I don't care for the people They are not pure Belgeic, half .French, Flemish 4erman blood, and are a very serious menace as spies, 1 saw two German officers shot as spies in that district ust behind the "line." About the I nd of August or rather the middle I n order came out cutting down the strength of ambulance drivers, and I 'and two others were sent back, put to our former unit, as we were the jlast to join the ambulance. Gee, we ere sore, as our corp amb. had I ust come down after forty days hard work up the line, and we were in for a decent rest, also the amb. is away ahead everyway to this, so you can imagine how we felt You never get any place under shell fire, except when we're on the somle place the about as healthy for pieces of lead, as Alberta is for cold now. Gee, thats when they sure do scrap. We were hauling stone for artillery roads, right over the trenches Fritz was driven out of in August, so saw many very interest- 0:ing 0:interesting sights Huns had some wonderful dugouts, some as deep as 30 feet and as comfortable as a decent house. I ran into several rather rotten places. One dugout had six dead German bodies in all rotten Things are too busy to find time to even bury them 'The country we are in now, is al- 0:most 0:almost as open as Calgary, and the wind, the damp piercing cold variety sure does blow. Ram well I guess this takes the cake, without a doubt Mud one continual mud hole, gee, one'' wonders however dust can be, its awful, although it froze up a few nights and a wee bit of snow, so I guess we are in for a bad winter When leave comes, about February, I guess, I'm having a go for a com in the R F artillery, and have hopes i I'll get it Anyway I'm going into he artillery whether I get a com or ' no We are always out at dawn un- 0:til 0:until long after dark sets in, so have to scrap to wnte, its nearly lights out now. P j I've run into heaps of fellows I know. Sandy Gibson, now a Captain, j and several others Gibson is a good man, but I do hope he gets out wounded soon, or he'll sure get killed.

Letters from the front Commissioner A T Stephenson re- 0:ceived 0:received the following intciesting let- 0:ter 0:letter from Captain H Meeres last week It gives some details of what has happened to the 187th Wttley Camp, Surrey, Teb 1 1917 Dear Stephenson Thinking you would bo interested in hearing tho fate of the 187th since leaving Cal- 0:gary, 0:Calgary, I will try and givo it to you Beginning at th wrong end, wo have recoived the axe and the 187th is no more A large proportion of our men have been drafted into tho 202 with six ofheers Several men are in hos- 0:pital 0:hospital and a number still in quaran- I tine The remnant of men and officer ' myself included are proceeding to-1 morrow to Seaford, Sussex, where we are attached to the 21st Reset vo Battalion to reinforce the 31st and 50th Of course we feel proud of re- 0:inforcing 0:reinforcing the 31st, but feel very keen- 0:ly 0:keenly the breaking up of the 187th Ever since we left Calgary we seem to have been hoo dooed At Amherst we got mumpe and had to leave a number of men in hospital there, on arrival in Liverpool we had both mumps and measles and left more men and since being at Witley wo have had a lot of sickness among both men and officers, although I have not been sick myself At oae time here we had 101 men in hospit- 0:al 0:hospital with mumps besides cases of measles, diphtheria, pneumonia and flue Of course we were uider quaran- 0:tine 0:quarantine and confined to tho camp Our band is broken up and I believe the instruments are to be boxed up and shipped to Red Deer eventually to bo handed over to the 35th or if one is formed a militia infantry battalion We have seen very few Red Deer men over here but quite a bit of Bob Pearson who is engaged in Y M C A w ork in the camps but I believe he is going or has gone to France in that work One or two officers are to be returned to Canada as unqualified and two have been boarded out as unfit so our mess has become pretty small Of those left I am senior captain but captains around here aro as thick as mosquitos and about just as much of a nonentity We are to '. take a course of schools, more I think to give us something to do and keep us out of the way than anything else Of course we constantly hear, 'Oh.you wait till the big spring drive, then every officer will be needed, especially tho lieutenants and captains Well the have lots to come and go on and there will still be more to follow The people in England t.eem to be very confident that this j ear will sec the end of tho w ar and they have ! good grounds for the hope The pre- 0:parations 0:preparations for a great advance as soon as the weather permits is il most unbelievable and Llojd-George s threat to Germany that he would if necessary place guns on the Western i front hub to hub has in manv places been carried out and returned men I tell us that, tho ammunition parks at the rear cover hundreds of acres of land Food seems to be plentiful in England although there are a few commodities such as sugar that arc very scai ce Large tracts of land that have never beon cultivated before ex cept for pasture are now being sown to grain and the parks in 1 ondon aro being prepared to raise vegetables What strikes one most over here is that there is no poverty, work is plentiful and wages high Two pounds a week is a common wage for girls in the munition plants and many of tho men earn five pounds a week I was in London last week and never saw it so crowded before, it is very dilhcult to get a room at a hotel, and soldioas aro everywhere but the Australian-' (who arc a very slouchy lot) and men of the flying corps (just the reverse) seem to pre- 0:dominate 0:predominate It has been very cold here, the natives here say the coldest wint- 0:er 0:winter for twenty years, at the samo time it is no trouble to keep warm walking but not easy to keep warm in the buildings You will be roast- 0:ing 0:roasting your shin-- and the cold creeps rnnmng up and down jour back Tho fire protection in our camp has been under my charge we have a hoso reel and manual pump, but as fast as va get a bunch of men trained they get 'sick or quarantined and we start an other buneh, fortunately we have never needed them at a fire The stoves in the xmens huts are the most ridiculous things imaginable, situated about two feet from the wall, the stove pipe going straight through and up outside The stoves are lined with asbestos brick so that they r-adi- j ate no heat but consume lots of coal which benefits tio one Will be glad to hear from you Yours truly, H MEERES, Captain 187th

Abstract: Agricultural development has not proceeded smoothly or regularly. Rather it has been characteritzed by varying rates of growth and by divergent characteristics of its development as exemplified by the periods of expansion, World War I, the twenties, the thirties and World War II. As agriculture passed from one period to another, its former condition appeared to be out of adjustment in the current period. Thus agricultural development seemed to be one of continual flux from one disequilibrium to another. Under such circumstances and amidst a maze of exogenous seasonal and cyclical factors, secular trends have been blurred and difficult to discern; and farm entrepreneurs, already a tenacious lot and with their viewpoint focused backward to the agricultural expansion period, have been oblivious of the real requirements of adjustment. For that matter, no one else seemed to know what was innately wrong with agriculture, not even the agricultural experts. The object of this study is to analyse the developments of Canadian agriculture, with particular reference to the recent wartime period, and with the purpose of indicating the significance of the various features of development to the problems and requirements of agricultural adjustment. The particular phases of the objective may be outlined as follows: firstly, to analyse the scope and character of wartime agricultural changes; secondly to appraise the significance of such changes in relation to the trends and factors underlying agricultural development; thirdly to evaluate the implications of such changes in regard to the requirements of agricultural adjustment.

I am staying with my brother-in law, Dr Crawford, and am con valesoing from my wound, which is very nearly healed, but it will be some time before I can do much marching I saw Charlie's name in the casu- 0:alty 0:casualty list, and hope he is doing as wellas myself. Ray has been very ill since getting over his wound, and will be some weeks in the hospital yet and will most likely be sent back to Canada when well enough, as his fighting days are over. Kind regards to Mrs Carswell and best wishes to yourself, from Yours sincerely, H MEERES (Captain) June 7th, 1917. Dear Father . France now, "sunny chivalrous France" I have heard it called Sun ny, indeed, so sunny, as a mutter o' fact, that the major portion of the epidermis has disappeared from my features beneath the intensity oi old sol s rays, our clothing is satu rated with perspiration and we have no desire whatever to work ( un fortunately we are not allowed to follow our desires) as to chivalrous well between endless stretches o! sand, too constant acquaintance with full packs, the afore mentioned broiling sun, bully beef and biscuits the glamour and tinsel of chivalry seemingly associated with it from its mediaeval" affinities seems some- 0:thing 0:something entirely out of place Where am I nowf Well that p-rbi guous "Somewhere in France" to you implies either one of two places up in the line, or at the base. Well, I am at the latter, experiencing that ten days' course which is supposed to put the finishing touches to our training As yet, despite the fact that we havv been here ten days, wo are only half through our course, oi course, I suppose we should 'have no kick coming The scene' of torture is some three miles from camp, which we cover twice daily ((thero and back) with everything we possess Dn our backs and has been dubbed the ' Bull-ring," possibly to use a slang phrase, "because so much bull is fired at us out here " It was a week ago Saturday that we left Witley Camp, somewhero around the mid-night hour, and ar rived in Folkestone in the early gray of dawn A morning spent on the adjacent bench and in rest bar- 0:racks, 0:barracks, and then at noon we env barked Old Neptuno was on bis good behaviour, and in consequence I was not forced to infringe on Lord Devonport's nandatcs regarding food wastage As to- mention of subse- 0:quent 0:subsequent movements, well you know the censor's attitude in this regard, so I merely state that it entailed all-day rhnrch from our point of disembarkation to the Base France, that is in my humblo esti ma t ion ,. as far as natural beauty, cleanliness and picturesqueness goes, is far inferior' to England, all around here being sandhills with small clumps of pines, poplars, etc here, and there The sanitation of the only village I have been in as yet would have sent the health in- 0:spector 0:inspector of a western burg into hy- 0:sterics, 0:hysterics, all manner of unpleasant odors emanating from the cellars and the stagnant water and rubbish of the gutters, while the buildings aro all weather stained and unat- 0:tractive 0:unattractive Flowers are far less pro line and varied than in England, and feathered songsters pot so plentiful Perhaps the finest view from camp is that of tho Channel, shimmering blue, intangible in the distant with a host of fishing "boats like black specks on its surface, on the shore is quite a large town said to be a summer resort In the entrance on one sido of the town a stretch of woodland loses itself in a blue haze on the horizon on the other side stretch the sand hills Saw Frank Songhurst the day wo cairo over, h5 had recovered from his wounds and was on his way bbek to his battalion the 10th Capt Barnett of the old 187th was at the Base for a few days last week before going up the line to join the 50th Today, the last of our old 187th boys from Bramshott landed here, the bunch that got stranded at Am herst with the mumps ans some others They are destined also for the 50th, and include Alf Pye and MoDougall fron Penhold, Arnold Brookes, MacFarlane, the old can teen sergeant Art Foulds, Middle- 0:mas, 0:Middle-mas, Groat and Davy Dean of your old "D ' Company Well, I air unable to give you any other address than that you already have, as yet, since we have not joined as yet the battalion to be apportioned to companies Love, "TEDDY"

Eleanor ward, w East London, England, that he is getting on one and will soon be able to get out. Well, mother, we sure did got a cutting up I don t think theie wero more than fifty men came out of our legiment that did not get wounded or killed. The Germans shelled us for thirty hours, till tho trenches were all down, and wo had nothing but shell holes to get into It was hell if there ever is one and don t think it could be any woise I took up First Aid work some t mo ago so 1 was a stretchei-boarer There were four of us to a company when wo wont in, but we had not got very far till I was left by myself And I can say that I did my duty I was in tho thick of it for 36 hours with- 0:out 0:without any help or anything to eat Tho Huns came over in hundreds and they got in to our front line beforo we could get thero, as my battalion was in supports, and whit men were, left in the trenches wore so badly cut up with tho shells that they could not do much for themselves as nearly all their rifles wero broken and the bombs buried The Germans had all their own way and thoy bayonotted nearly every man, but the boys fought like tigevs in a corner Then we came up to help them Tho Gor- 0:mans 0:Gor-mans saw us coming and thoy shelled us something awful But our regi- 0:ment 0:regiment charged again and again till we had not hardly a man left, but I think we gave them is good as they gave us, and we took hack the most of the trenches that wore lost, but with great loss I went through it all till night The nevt day when I was bringing out a sergeant a shell busted on the road and shrapnel went in my ankle It was pretty soro for a while, but it is getting bettor I am writing this in bed so you will have to excuse writing Fred Zielko got wounded but I don t think it was very bad Wo have a good time over here, but have not got any money, nor can 1 get any, for they won't give us any while iwo are in hospital, so will have to borrow a stamp for this let- 0:ter 0:letter till I hear from Walter Belgium, Juno 17 Dear Dad and Mother I havo re- 0:ceived 0:received two or three letters from you lately but w c have been kept so busy the past two or three weeks that I have not been able to do any writing at all By tho time this reaches you our last action up here will be stale news However, I am pleased to say that I have come out of it so far without a scratch and am feeling fine Wo did not lose any of oui trenches, al- 0:though 0:although the lost trenches were not far from us, it was part of our bat- 0:talion 0:battalion that stopped the Germans from getting any further through tho lines. We were then relieved for a few days We attacked the Germans and retook the trenches again Only a few of our men were allowed to take part in it and I am pleased to say I w as one of them I hid charge of a party of men under an oilicer who had to consolidate tho position, and I can assure you that wo were very fast workers for we were under shell fire all the time We got our job done and only had threo casual- 0:ties, 0:casualties, and I can t understand how wo got off so easy for shrapnel was dropping around us like rain We took a number of prisoners, and they were quite pleased to bo captured, Ono of our men was escorting a pri- 0:soner 0:prisoner to the rear and he got buried by a shell, the German immediately dug him out and handed him his rifle hack again Wo had rotten weather for making the attack as it rained steady for about four days, consequently the trenches were in pretty bad shape Some of the trenches and roads wore almost impassable We were sure an awful looking moss when we got back to camp and we were just about; all in, I am pleased to bear they havo been showing those pictures of Cana- 0:dians 0:Canadians abroad in Rod Deer and I am wondering if you recognized anyone in them Part of our company was in the one taken in the trenches. I knew Corp Whyte quite well, ho was a scout in our battalion, he got wounded ono morning just as he was coming into the trenches, he had been out between the lines most of tho night I have not had my leave yeb, as all leave has been stopped for quito a time It has started up again, and now I expect to go in a week or two I will let you ktaow as soon as I get to England Your loving sont COLIN

Rankin of the 191st Battalion arrived in Uleichen and that eveniDg visited a dance on the Blackfoot Reserve and told the Indiana in a brief talk they would have a chance to enliat with his battalion the next day, and if enough of the Indians enlisted they would form a platoon of them and they should be under command of one of their own race. The following day the town was full of Indians and fourteen of them volunteered leaving, Thursday with Capt. Rankin for Calgary. Saturday they all returned singing "It's a long way to Tipperary", eight of them wearing their uniforms as a sign they had successfully passed their ex- 0:aminations; 0:examinations; and they certain!) looked fine. The other six ware not so happy, having failed physically, yet were glad I hey had offered to do their "bit". Here are the names of the brave red men who volunteered to fight and die for us, the first eight mentioned being those accepted: Tom Crane Bear Mike Foxhead Teddy Yellow Kly Billy May Field Edward Axe Joe Ghostskin Harry Abskine Joe Calfchild Arthur Waterchief Spencer Owlchild Dick tiadbcy Joe Donnelly Cyril Foxhead David Sunshoe Credit must bo given Capt. Rankin for his t xcellent work in securing those recruits for it is no easy 1 1 k for a man unacquainted with the Blackfeet to secure tln.ir con- 0:fidence 0:confidence lu so short a time, but he is a hard earnest worker whom the Call has known a number of yir n; who at one inspires confidence and makes friends of all.. Col. Bryan is expected here in a few days to assist the captain. The Indians have contributed most liberally by thousands of dollars to the various patriotic funds and as soon as they learned they were needed at the front and would be accorded the same treatment as white soldiers, and their wives and dependents provided for they readily vol- 0:unteered 0:volunteered And no doubt they will prove as good soldiers as they have successful farmers. Yet they will not be the only Indians to enlist for already there are Blood and Peag- 0:ans 0:Peag-ans in uniform and now the Stoneys want to wearthe same. Don't imagine the Blackfeet take it lightly. There were hundreds of Indiana at the stations to see them off, and many a mother, wife and child wept as the train oarri- 0:ad 0:oarri-ad off their son, husband or father.

Letters from the Front I Mrs E.

LEnERS FROM THE FRONT i f Fred Fisher writes to bis parents the following interesting letter Somewhere in France, i August 17, 1918 My dear Mother and rather Just a line to tell you I am well and not to worry about me as I am some two or three hundred miles now from the trenches thank God It is the small hours of the morning and I am sitting in the office of a hospital with my ' watch in front of me and a chart by , It indicating to me the medicine I am t to give and the number of the bed I the patient is in who is to receive it j and every half hour I take a walk through the long ward with Its many (, white beds and its pale faced occu pants and see it everything is all i right I go to work at 8 pm and come otf at 7 a m , it is a very long it lonely night, but sometimes not with j . out Its excitement I am living in , the mountains and it 1b very pretty s ," with its vineyards and ltB old historic ' buildings but I did enjoy myself while ,l In Paris for a few weeks It Is truly a gay city, and I liked it better than either London or Glasgow, Edln i. i boro or Dublin Ireland, and I hope to B' see it again I do not like the place poor Ivan is buried in I will have him removed after the war if I live to i get through it myself, as old Fritz ? has the town and graveyard disfigured i and scarred out of all reason, com f pared to when I saw it first In 1917 , (- As you know I saw it after the ad vance of old Fritz in the early part of 1918, and his damnable shells have '? made the place a sight I have not seen Arthur since June last, or nearly two months ago, but I am almost sure this war has not done him or me any k good but we must -be thankful to be alive, for I tell you I have nearly gone west two or three times, but I have seen so much death that I have got to look upon it as a very common thing and do not think of it in the least as I used to As you know while up In the trenches my nerves got so bad that I could not be trusted m with a Btrctcher case that was under j fire, and lost my nerve As I told you a" -, In a previous letter, I, and fourteon more men were blown down a long staircase into a dugout, and I was . deaf in both my cars and I could not heai a shell till it was close to me, and so gsve mo a rather queer feel ing but you would have to be under shell Are to understand what I mean I think I am honest in saying it was not fear, for prior to being blown ' down the dugout I never had the same experience, but I tell you I i) thank God I am out of the trenches You must not worry about Arthur, for as you know, he is not in the trenches but is in supports always with the canteen But when I was there I had to go and pick up wounded men in the field with nothing but a red cross on my arm for protection, and I tell you it was no snap either But you must not think it is all hard i luck In the army for I am going to V Nice and Monte Carlo and Marseilles il- on the Mediterannean sea for a 'f couple of weeks leave, and the army , will give me 500 francs (100 dollars) . to spend on the trip Of course the r BOO francs is my own money, but still )I get it out of my pay and that is a trip I would hardly get in civil life. Is ' I it not I had a letter from Wert a I few days ago and some photos from Jean and I take it that you are fairly comfortable I do hope that we are spared to see each other again Won't It be a happy day when this war is over Oh, I will be so glad I tell you I would not have known Jean if there had been no name on the photos and I don t expect I shall even know my own children when I get home if I ever do It may sound strange to you but I am not worrying even if I do not get home again but of course I hope I will I hope you will drop me a few lines and tell me how you arc getting on and how you are With fonlest lpve, from your son, FRED La Belle France August 24 1918 To the Editor, Red Deer News i Dear Sir As one of the old town boys I presumed you would hardly obect to my writing you the follow ing few lines, as this Is my first letter "1 to one of the town s worthy citizens ' I left the city in August 1915 came across to Rural England the follow- 0:ing 0:following month and after a short stay in that delightful country I was dls patched over here ' and have remain ed here intact ever since, with only one break when invalided to hospital at the base a matter of a few weeks ago Well I am not going to sing my own song for the simple reason, 'overybodys doing it I will there fore parade myself an exception, take it for granted I am a very ex- 0:ceptional 0:exceptional individual when sized as some of our good illustrious citizens will admit Those who know me in timately of course Nevertheless, what little I have accomplished is hardly In comparison to what others have done therefore I will hold my prate ' 'TIs very little I see of your valuable paper or in fact, any other of the provincial papers so you may come to the conclusion I do not get much news from that source Of course I occasionally, but very rarely receive a tew letters from a few ,. .- - friends; some of the epistles I pre sume go astray, probably theydescend to Davy Jones' locker (some post office down In that quarter, I'll wager) Apart from these sources there Is an ther one I read of in a Winnipeg paper, and it grieved me to have the like brought to my notice I refer to the 'postal strike' of recent date which occurred, I believe, iri the foremost cities of Western Canada Perhaps that paper magnified the strikers atti- 0:tude 0:attitude slightly, however, I'll allow for that the fact remains, these same people played us false, making them selves unworthy of the protection they are getting They must certain ly know, it being quite obvious to one and all, that such drastic meas ures as they took to themselves would be detrimental to the lads in France and England both, as the mail from home plays a great part in maintaining the spirit or morale of the troops Let me quote an old saying Like waters to a thirsty soul, so news from the homeland is to the heart" It would be well for such people as strikers in the mail service, to let the above be food for thought and learn to put aside petty grievances till such time the greatest of all 'wrongs' is righted Taking a conscientious view of the whole, It j does indeed show the essence of sel ! flshness on their part when every-1 thing is taken into consideration Take their position against ours, at $1 10 per day to say nothing of discomforts etc What would happen if the Tommies went on strike, should the opportunity avail itself Words fall to express the disgust and contempt that is voiced by all here at the man- 0:ner 0:manner and indifference with which some of those at home are exhibiting to us, one can hardly wonder why some of the returned veterans rise up and mob the like The general opinion of men out here re strikers I quote The striker at home is a striker in the back' therefore worse by far than the enemy who oppose us If I were to continue to voice the opinions on the subject in question there would be many pages to fill, and as time will not permit I shall perforce have to cease comments on the same The good news of recent date has no doubt reached you ere now, along with the outstanding feature our 'lads' (or let me substitute the latest honor gained 'Foch's Pets') have taken a great part in the 'Victory Drive,' iwith minor loss , such a turn of the scale must be very humiliating to the Hun, however, we do not wish to humiliate the ene- 0:my, 0:enemy, just practically smash him, and that will most assuredly occur before the Allies are through dealing their 'master stroke ' I wonder, by the way, what our poor peaco by-negotiation' friend (I refer to Lord Lansdowne) thinks of the present situation.-Surely "he'will be bewailing his lot, to Bay nothing' of his private 'international -interests'; what a fool's paradise he must be liv- 0:ing 0:living in, If such are his views; the Allies will certainly negotiate, only In a different way; to wit, with steel and iron rations! As soon as the German octopus has his tentacles severed, he'll be safe to deal with; then, but not before I hardly know whether there a-e any pessimists at home or not, there are few, if any, in the Canadian armj however, if there are any In th-9 home land, the present change of affairs should iwr materially their ones de pressed v ev b A good mar j folk believe the end Is on the horizon, un fortunately they are deluded In every sense of the word The road is still long, yet our goal is assured A peace now would leave Germany quite a powerful nation, with the conse quence that a large force would have to be maintained here On the other hand, should Germany accede to our terms and join a 'league 'of nations,' the road to a permanent peace would be paed As this is very unlikely, there is but one course to adopt, 'go it to the bitter end We are experiencing glorious weath er for the present campaign, it any thing a trifle too hot, better than the rainy season at all events Guess I have, like the calf, come to the end of my tether May I mention in closing the boys are all looking in the pink' Some of the Canadian editors who were out here to see us will corroborate my statement They'd wrestle with Old Nick himself, with out a doubt as to the outcome The 'Byng Boys' (members of my dug-out) are 'gassing' and arguing on 'after the war' problems, occasionally sol icitlng my opinion, so it many mis takes are made herein, be kind enough to overlook the Bame At the best of times I am not much of a hand at correspondence I must now adjourn, the hour being exactly 8 45 pm time to hit the blanket If forty winks is to be considered Trusting I have not taken up your valuable time by writing this, I'll conclude with best regards to you and other citizens of Red Deer Gunner H F Harcourt, 46428, 1st Canadian Siege Battery, B E F would be pleased to receive a 'note' from you at your con venlenco, to let me know whether you are in receipt of this letter Believe me, in all sincerity to be, Most re spectfully yours, H F HARCOURT

I saw a tank yesterday ihey are very funny look- 0:ing 0:looking th ngs. Everywhere around here is a mabb of shell holes, old trenches and every imaginable thing There are numbers of old German rifles, helmets, ammunition and all sorts of truck around It is impossible to de- 0:scribe 0:describe tins country but anything else than a mass of shell holes I I hae been in a place they call ' Death Valley" for the last fave days and 1 might go on to say it ceitainly deserves the name 1 hanks to the poueib that be, I am out of it now So you got tho Ypres pin O K That is good I found a couple of Tntz s helmets the other day but couldn t pack them so I took all the badges oil and when I get the chance 1 will send them One badge is a big eagle, as wide as this sheet oi paper with the inscription Mit Gott For Kohnt Und Fadcrland ' on it ' Dinna ye ken ' what it means I could ave had all the souvenirs 1 wanted -rifles, bayonets and everything lm agmable that Fritz had thrown a- 0:way, 0:a-way, but the air was none-too healthy for souvenir hunting 1 haven t been touched by shrapnel yet but it was n't because I didn't have the chance When I was coming out a coalbox lit within ten yards of the two of us and as luck would have it we both got through I hae seen men hit fifty yards away from a bursting shell It made us deaf from fifteen or twenty minutes I was standing up, too, because I didn't hear it coming But that was only one of a number of escapes, I hav e began to think that the two Dorrances are very lucky. i I his is not war here Tho word "war' is a word that coineb from civilization but there is no civihza- I tion here It is Hell turned inside out" I wish it were over, but as a prisoner told me two days ago (or perhaps it is three days, I can i re- 0:member) 0:remember) 'It won t last over iline months I hope it is true, but Gei many hasn t tho power to t p it n three months We give them bix to their one right here II a mm vauts to see something he w ants t o cc me here but 1 11 bet he'll not wint to come back I had no idea of watt it was and wanted to see tins iHce (for experience Bake) but I never want to see anything like it again I s one fellow, who had shell sh ck told me "I've had enough " Say, I made a find to-day, I v i s walking- along when I noticed a gas helmet bag lying on the ground A . lot of us carry things in our gas- helmets, it had seven candles and . three packages of cigs m it some find, eh But you can pick up any- 0:thing 0:anything from a box of matches to a complete equipment around here I could have a thousand rifles(Lee-En-ficld and Mauser) if I wanted them You see them lying, somo mark some poor fellow's grave, others used to support dugout roofs, and every other imaginable purpose All sorts of ammunition, bombs (both German and British), "dud ' shells and all sorts of equipment, etc , I can t de- 0:scribe 0:describe this country to vou It would take a 1,000 page volume But the most wonderful of all is the "tanks,"' But they will havo to come later, when this bloom ng war is over o

. LETTERS FROM THE FRONT INTERESTING LETTER FROM INNI8FAIL OFFICER IN THE TRENCH E8. (Innisfall Province, Oct 11th) Somewhere in France, September 4th, 1917 My dear Mr Westland, I am writ- 0:ing 0:writing you because I cannot write to the relatives ot all the Innlsfail boys who went down last week two weeks ago today, mostly I was wounded on that eentful day, but remained on duty until Thursday morning, when I was sent out to hospital My little hit was in the fleBhy part of the thigh and not deep or serious and I am back once more with the battalion, and as I write this the guns are booming and the shells are moaning through the air It was a pretty disastrous day for Innlsfail (rather week for the cas ualties ran from Monday or Sunday evening until Frldaj ) On account of being knocked out myself I have been unable to get any exact list of those who fell John Baynham and Arthur McAllister died of wounds Nicholson of Markerville and Bill Rodgers of Penhold were killed outright, Ben Marsden, Innlsfail and Wesley Woods of EInora are both missing, but are probably dead If prisoners they are badly wounded for on those days the Bosches got none of our men who were able to stand I think it Is permissible to give some of the details of the engagement that will give some consolation to the relatives without places or dates being named and without violating the censorship regulations We knew when we went in on that August trip that we had heavy work ahead By the way, the day we went In was my eldest little girl's birth day and proved a lucky omen for me The line we held was a rotten one The trenches were dltcheB rath er than trenches, and were littered with debris of all kinds and the land marks or guldeposts at some corners were filthy stinking Boche bodies which the battalion we relieved had not had time to bury There was little or no cover and the soil being bard chalk it was Impossible to improve conditions much, as you had to pick every inch and using a pick with 59s falling all around about Is a no bon ' Job, besides being lnfln ltely slow In addition it was hardly worth while, as we were to go over the top and take a better trench from Fritz That is about the only vt ay we ever get decent trenches this year The first attack was tried on a small local scale and had to be aban doned after one company had suff ered fairly heavy punishment On Tuesday morning a big attack was pulled oft, in which several battalions played a big part We were towaids the centre and I think all agree thai we had the rottenest part of the job However, the boys went over and through Fritz and beyond but It was Impossible to hold on to what we ha 1 gained and we had to fall back from most of what we had for reasons which you can imagine On Wednes day (Ithink it sas) another local raid was tried but It did not prove sue cessful Later on, I do not know the exact day, because by that time I had left the lines with my wound cooks batmen transport men and the bat talloft crocks were gathered together and over the top they went again They had the backbone in the shape ot picked bombing and Lewis gun teams (Art. McAllister was in this and maybe more of our boys, being out I do not know myself) Fritz had had more than he could stand and after a little bluff at a scrap faded away and we had the line at last I'm telling you this to give you some idea of the sticking qualities of the men They are certainly the finest ever Some wonderful things could be told of the way they stayed on the job new men, and some of ours too As an Instance there was one of our gun teams which was composed most ly of new men That team went down to a man and when we found the gun the last man lett who was the junior man ot the team (a 187th chap named Munro) was found lying dead with the gun in his hands This is the sort of thing one reads about in books and magazines John Weir of Car bon, one of the 187th lieutenants was killed, with nearly every man of his party, away out in advance of the line where he hung on In spite of every thing tor a long time If I could tell you all I would like to Im certain Te Province would boost pretty hard tor conscription the need of men is such a paramount thing The war is not going to be lost because of lack of money or food, but it is going to be held on and lives are going to be wasted all win ter because of lack ot men It is poor business to talk so much about conscription of weatlh because It has the effect of turning mens minds from the fact that the great lmraodi ate need Is man power No one feels more keenly the wrongfulness of some men making money while others give sons and all else than the man In the shell zonei but the thing we think about over here is more men so that the awful business can be ended quickly and lives saved thereby Letting the thing linger on means more loss of life Over here we have lost all our pol itlcal beliefs but we want to see some of the bo)s who are here now save their skins and conscription ot men 1b the one thing that la going to help do It Those boys who have given their lives for this thing should be remem bered and the way to remember them is to provide us men enough so that the thing can be carried through suc- 0:cessfully 0:successfully and speedily It Is hard to see so much time wasted in politics and badgering about wealth and graft and Buch like when it is the men we want most of all I shall be glad to get out of the line this trip We have a few days ahead yet and then we have been told we are to have a rest of two weeks We certainly need it Where we are now has been very quiet for a month past and the three days we have been in have alBo been very quiet We all hope it may continue We have a few of the 187th boys left with us Stewart Moore missed the last hard trip He was at BChool and was lucky I understand crops are poor in Al erta this year I'm sorry for that, but I guess there is no danger ot food shortage France has fine crops Remember me to all friends JOHN BARNBTT

Sub-series consists of war diaries collected by the staff of the Canadian War Records Office (CWRO). Each unit and formation of the CEF in France was required to compile a diary which was forwarded at the end of each month to the Canadian War Records Office where they were checked and the most interesting entries recorded in the office files. Since, in most cases, the diaries were not begun until the units arrived in France, little information for the earlier period was available at the CWRO. As a result, questionnaires were sent to original officers of each unit and the completed forms will be found in the Historical Section (HS) unit files.
Copyright belongs to the Crown. In order to protect the fragile originals, the microfilm copies of these records must be consulted rather than the originals.
Finding aid 9-52 is a computer generated file list. Researchers should note that in many instances where the war diary for a given unit begins on one reel, but continues on to the next, the finding aid will only indicate its presence on the first reel. Thus, researchers are advised that if the war diary they seek is the last indicated on a reel (e.g.: T-11120), they should also order the following reel (T- 11121). 9-52 (Electronic)

Gee, it felt fine I wish I could have sat there and soaked for hours if I had had time If you hear about the w ar finishing I want Mammy to start in and cook light avvav as she will need it all when I get there You had better raise the ceiling a few feet too, as I have grown quite a lot since last year I got two letters just before I went into tho trenches They bucked mo up fine I got an Advocate last night which I gave to Jim Hazlott He was awfullv pleased to get it but ho says he is wommg himself to death for fear all the skirts ' will bo married before he gets back Tom Bell is in the same platoon as I am, also "Bobby' Clark who worked for Mr Bennett, the contractor, at ono time Bob Lowe, whoso father works in tho P O is in tho machine gun sec- 0:tion 0:section of the 49th. Philip Galbraith writes Belgium, July 3 1916 At present we're resting and our section is on a bombing course and, as the weather is fine were getting on jako Got paid yesterday -i You ve probably seen by tho papers what happened in the first week of June so it will be useless for me to go into details I told you before how wo came out so I won t fgo over) that again Our last trip in we came off very w ell None of our bunch were injured at all Tho information in Art s letter wag quite correct Ho was wounded 'on May 10 Since that time wo have made two trips to that delightful place both of tho length that he men- 0:tions 0:mentions The first of tho two was when i w o got out strafing and wo just re- 0:turned 0:returned from the second a few days ago Wo re due for another rtnp of tho same length in a few days and wo arc all hoping that It will be our last We havo been taking our turn in tho trenches in that delightful spot for nearly four months so wo won't worry much if we're moved Tho beauty of the place is that our friend, the enemy, can como at us from only four sides as well as from abovo (aeroplanes) and below (saps) I saw A R Gibson yeseerday He's been out here about a month with tho 13th Batt and his first trip in tho tronches shortly after ho arrived, was ratner lively He's the Batt Quartermaster at present which is rathoi a good job. Do you know Walter Beatty He's out here now with tho 49th Batt and some of the fellows saw himyesterday. When Art was hit I was about 200 yards down tho trench so I was quite, safe. Everything is going pretty well now Parcels aro plentiful in tho section now so ewe arc living well. Leave is stopped at present so it will be some time before I get away Gordon Hahburton writes to his pcoplo in Woodstock, Ont , tho fol lowing thrilling account of a scout- 0:ing 0:scouting trip on the western lines Tho llulibuitons lived at Red Deer for yeirs on the farm immediately south cast of town, tho old Biggs & Cald well place, and will be well remem bered by friends here No 1 Canadian General llospit .1 Trance, 'unoJ, 3U16 Dear Mother and Sibtcr I guesb you w ill have rcceiv cd no- 0:tice 0:notice from Ottaw a by this time about my being wounded, at any rate you will havo received my caid Now j mother, there is no need to worry albout me, although I was pretty w ell shaken up by being thrown about 35 I or 40 feet by the shell My wound, J which is a shrapnel wound in the right shouldci, is not so veiy great, although it will prevent mo from carrying a pack for some time I guess I will try and tell you a little about the big battle I was in and which is still going on I guess It will bo known ab tho second battle of Ypres, and by what the old boys say, it is the heaviest that the Can adians have been through yet Wo wero in reserve billets last Friday when the word came down thab the Germans had broke through tho Can- 0:adian 0:Canadian front lines and in ill probabil- 0:ity 0:probability wo would have to take part in re- 0:pairing 0:repairing them, so about 5 o clock in the evening we weio given orders to stand to and hold ourselves in rcadi- 0:'ness 0:rcadi-'ness for a quick move About eight 0 clock the word c itue to fall in, which w e did and immediately start- 0:ed 0:started for tho scene of action We landed there about 3 o clock the next morn- 0:ing 0:morning and commenced to dig ourselves in - Just when I was getting a nice holercadv, Capt Prico, who was af- 0:terwards 0:afterwards wounded, carao along and ordered a young fellow named Tuck- 0:er 0:Tucker and I to go out and loc ite tho German trenches if possible It looked like a big and dangerous job but proved not so diihcult as we wore behind the German machine guns almost before we knew it We got clear again and reported back safely We wcie then oidercd out again to get the position of tho different Can- 0:adian 0:Canadian battalions and supports This was the last we ever saw of our cap- 0:tain, 0:captain, as he was killed in the charge they made while we were out scout- 0:ing 0:scouting and a big peicentage of our bat- 0:talion 0:battalion fell with him We next found our battalion aboutr"1! o clock but could not get near tho remaining of- 0:ficers 0:officers on account of machine gun and riflo hrc with shell firo that was shak ing the whole earth, so wc had to pass our message along the line and 1 am doubtful if it ever reached the officers as there was to much noise and so many dead along the line Of course my chum ind 1 knew we were going to be lehcved by the 2nd Battalion at darknoss so we just had) to lay Hat on our stomachs and wait which was not wery nico as wo had no cover at all but wo both pulled through safely till they started tho second big bombardment about 7 20 it was then that somebody came run ning down the line and lay between my chum and I, which I really be- 0:lieve 0:believe was tho cause of the shell landing where we wore, it landed be- 0:tween 0:between the new arrival and myself I was picked up and slung through the air - lf I was just a feather and when I calnb to, ' -5 -. three o clock next morning and went back to see if the chum was safe, all I could find was a bunch of twisted rifles and part of a leg with a good on it I really do not know whether it was my chum or the other guy, but sure hope my chum is safe as ho is only a kid, but he sure has nerve and I would like to have him with me again ' This w as rotten luck that tho rif- 0:les 0:rifles were smashed, as I had a German rifle as a souvenir, which I earned earlier in the day, in fact I could have had four of them, but they were too much to carry and their owners did not look very nice but I guess I only got revenge for my wound, even if it did come later "I guess this is all for the present as my arm is almost all in, but there is one thing I will say, we got back our trenches and I guess w e got as many Huns as they did of us, and wc showed them that Canadians werdl made of fair stuff Your Kid, GORDON

'over the parapet without using a J periscope They even kept us busy 41 I laking periscopes, for as soon as P they caught sight of one they would '&B snipe at it I was doing a little il mping myself, but a German got a- 'jlB ead of me once, and shot my riflo $iB lght out of my hand, almost break- 'itliH ng it in two pieces Fortunately the -J2B ullet missed me, but I got a small scratch on the ear from a piece of 'tiH tccl off my rifle Tho bombardment 'iiH tar ted a couple of days later, and Tl considering the small space of ground V.IH covered and the short time it lasted,, &fl it was the worst I havo seen I do & not know how we managed to stay '11 through' it all They were bombing us I ith huge trench mort ir bombs load-i J'B d with anything from twenty to sixty pounds of high explosive One tf of these bombs dropped on the next -4 dugout to mine, and the first thing vB hat I knew was that the roof and ne wall had buried one of my boys B nd me Fortunately there were 2 oc y hree of the boys close by to dig us :!' out, and we did not even get a "'il .scratch. $' Wow ere, very disappointed that the - pPJ Germans did not make an infantry at1 ppj tack on our line, for we wre all PJ ready and waiting for them, and we :' should have given them a very hot pJ reception, but they did not come I " PJ think they must have suffered a great, ,k deal more than we did for our heavy pf artillery just blew" their trenches all ! to pieces, and after the bombardment pPJ ?as finished we could hear the groans; ! nd cries of their wounded men .pPJ I lost one of the best pals I ever '' had, during that bombardment He PPJ I was not a Red Deer boy, but one of " the reinforcements, and we had been h chums together ever since be came f'l 'out to France. - ,.pPJ Love to all Your loving son, ,WM COLIN H

' Whether I have succeeded I cannot say for my- 0:self 0:myself but some day my attempts may bear fruit i oiicii remember you speaking a- 0:bout 0:a-bout the fine English, Scotch and Irish Guards Well, I have seen them drill and your praises are no way short at all I only wish I could con. mence to drill and soldier like them Then I would be a soldiei They ure simply great Never worry about us now for we are as well looked after as can be In fact I would rather be in France I was to a French servico in a French church to-day It is one j! the most beautiful buildings I hive ever seen The status and stained windows are a treat The building itself is all built of sandstona i ud worth going a long w iv io "r marble The organ and he bello a worth going a long -v ty tu hear Then the little parisn reructirv. ill a- 0:round 0:a-round the building and ' ee paths all tend to make the sc0 j &j line as an tourist ever had tho plta lie t gae on K Then further on, pi-1- i j a lartre e tate Here you atiU 'ee tho rTir's and children in au oil &hjl thichirg grain with a one io se tii'mill.

That s the difference betw een hero and the West Give me tho west every time 1 Tho people here are very poor You see them wearing stumps of trees pose you call them ' clogs." I would with a hole cut for their toes I sup- 0:hate 0:sup-hate to route march on a pair of those ' winged propellors " I I had the pleasure of having a de- 0:licious 0:delicious supper tho other night at a wayside inn, called ' Estamnnet," We hid sardines and br ad and butter or first course, celery soup second, ihrd, porlc and French potatoes I chips made up the fourth, egg omelet with lettuce, coffee and biscuits, fruits, and throughout the meal we had red table wine. Now, how nruch 'do you think it cost ? Just live francs or a0 cents. Why such a supper would cost $3 50 to $4 in America The French cooks certainly know their 'business when they can make money I on a hand out like that I was the glad and lucky recipient of two boxes (hampers for Xmas) on January 22nd, one from Aunt Em, One from the Ladies of Red Deer I will answer them as soon as possible Chas Rutter, jr , with the Fores- 0:try 0:Forestry battalion, writes to his mother from Cobham, Surrey, Feb 1, 1917 I Well, Mother we are still having rather cold weather and you would I be amused to see how the people go about with these long woollen strings wrapped around their heads and necks as if it were about 60 below instead of just below freezing You should hear some of the stories we are asked about Canada, one for instance "do the people have to tie ropes around themselves 'and i tie the rope to the house so that when they go out thpy will be able to get back home again " and others a- 0:long 0:a-long the same line Some of the peo- 0:ple 0:people think that the Indians are still running wild and that we have no Btorcs ind are very uncivilized i The Pnest was up the i mei da to sec me and he is a very fine man, the enuieh and grounds are an old es- 0:tate 0:estate which they have bought and eo- 0:d 0:eo-d about nve acres the church is not or lather the service is not, the same as ours This priebt belong b to the order that wears grey, although irhen he goes on the stieet he wears just ordinary clothes I Iheie ib to be a dance given by the men of the 242nd this Ihursday and I I am looking forward to a good time I Ihe stoves are all grates built in the wall in the dining room (so call- 0:ed) 0:called) and they keep the kettles hot on these, also cook in a small o cr which is attached The grates are a- 0:bout 0:a-bout 6 inches wide and about 8 inches long but built nght in the wall just like an ordinary stove only there is just one hole in the top over the tire and if there are many dishes to cook they have to start the gas stove which is out in the scullery and has two small round holes And when they want gas they put a penny in the slot and when this is used up the I gas starts to go out and they rush for a nenny (2 cents) to drop in the slot You should also see the way the store people bow and scrape when a lady or squire comes into the store you would think some of them were going to wash the skin off their hands the way they rub them Two men were cutting down a tree on an estate here the other day and they cut it up the tree about 20 inches (most of the butts are left as windbreaks) and after putting i block and tackle on the top to pull it down it got stuck in another tree and tho butts would not come apart so one of the men went up he tree to push it off, he got most of the way up when it suddenly came away and skinned him off the tree break ing collar bone, a leg and an arm ab ! well as several nbs But this is the way a lot of things are done hero anyway, or rather the wrong wav if possible or the way that takes the j longest I There is nothing in the eatable line I want as I get more than I can eat at present and if this food keeps up I will soon have to ask for another suit as this one is rather small now January 31, 1917. It is snowing here to-day and the weather is fine and bright but very little sun Every morning coming to work at about 7.45 there is a pair of phea- 0:Isants 0:phea-Isants either flying aoross the road in front of me or are just inside tho I fence at the same place every morn- 0:ling 0:morn-ling There are lots of rabbits in the bush here and just as soon as we get up here in camps we will be able to catch some. Have had several letters from the boys of the 187th at Witley wanting to know what the chances are of transferring to this Company There is some ill feeling between the Imper' lal Troops (English) and the Canadi- 0:an 0:Canadian troops as we get more pay than they do and spend more Of course this makes them sore and then again we are better clothed and are allow ed more liberty and are not so afraid of the officers comiranding The next leave we get will bo in abont four months and then we are sup- 0:posed 0:supposed to get free railway transporta- 0:tion 0:transportation so if we do I think I will take a trip to Ireland as the ruilwav fare would be the biggest item and if f his we-e paid I could afford to go on the half pay we now get

LETTERS FROM THE FRONT H H Kingzett, with the Inland Wat- 0:erways 0:Waterways and Docks department of the Imperial Forces, writing from Italy, says ' You will see from this I am now overseas proper, only staying in England some 7 weeks before coming over here So far I have been very fortunate since leaving Red Deer, all three camps I have been in, Montreal, Sand- 0:wich, 0:Sandwich, and here, have been Al , and first class in every respect Food also has been good all through, and fairly plentiful in fact, when I tell you that I have put on some 20 pounds in weight since leaving home you will see the life isn t doing me much harm We had a very long trip over, taking some 30 days from Montreal to Bristol but fine weather and very unevent ful, no sign whatever of any submar ine or other enemy craft While in England I had 10 days leave, and am glad to say that generally speaking the people seem very confident, and while there is no doubt quite a short age of some necessaries, all seem willing to put up with it, at the same time I think some better arrangement could be made than having women and children standing for hours in bitter weather waiting for their tea and margarine rations We have a lovely camp here, and the climate Ib like Alberta at its best warm days and cool nights and beaut itully situated I did not come across any of our Red Deer boys while in England nor do I suppose I shall now, as I do not think there are any of them this tar over, there are only a few of us in this corps most of them who came over with us came from the States I was interested to see the report of the United service held January 6 I was privileged to attend a similar one in Deal (Kent) held in the Parish Church there, a service I shall not easily forget I think more of this nature could be held to advantage I must' close now Kindest regards H H KINGZETT

Yesterday we had a great day for ouir aircraft We had up observation billons and so did Fritz At one time I counted 28 of our planes in the air at one time, and alsu saw a fight in which we were unfortunate enough to lose one machine But we even up for about three hours after, three of our machines waltzed over the enemy s lines, and in spite of all the guns which opened on them, they brought down two of his bal loons in flames a very pretty, but terrible sight, What could we do without our aircraft T But enough bf this war talk, the really interesting news we cannot tell, for information is useful to the enemy How is everybody in Red Deert 1 suppose it is still on the map? The old boys have shown their sterling worth in the army I ve met quite a few out here The other day some? one beckoned me, and whom should I see but Percy Lagrow He is in the 102nd, and from what I can hear he still causes lots of trouble to poor Fritz. 6 This is too long now, so I will cease VRegards to all my friends, both m Red Deer and vicinity, I am, Tour loving son, WILLIAM McILWRAITH 183709, 8th CMC C. P.S The following poem was written by a person you know very well: Vimy Ridge, we'll ne'er forget it, Ve er forget that blood red field Where our soldiers fought so bravely Fought, Britannia 9 flag to shield Brave fellows fell, in death victor- 0:ious, 0:victorious,Some were aging, some were young Never one but made the sacrifice To keep the Union Jack far Hung. Bright young laddies, just from High School, Men, with life's course in the prime Yet they left their homes and loved ones. To join the glorious "Allied" line How the shrapnel rained upon them How the bullets sped fast death Still they carried on victorious. Still they fought with dying breath How the horrid shells came shilek- ing, Ripped and tore the very earth. Whistled round our gallant laddies As if they mocked and laughed in mirth Soldiers saw their comrades shat- 0:tered, 0:shattered,Saw them blown lo very bits, Numbering up the heavy toll Tho toll they soon would ask of Fritz. Soldiers saw thus comrades shat tered, Comrades that they loved so well Saw them give their life so freely In that seething surging hell Still they kept up smiling faces, Died scarce knowing they were hit Cheerfully they gave their greatest, Determined sure ' to do thier bit ' Terrible the field of battle, Terrible the gory slain, Dying, wounded, all around tbem, But they fought and fought again That was where the brave Canadians Made the sacrifice again, Though it cost them, aye so dearly, We know that it was not m vain Vimy Ridgef yes, we remember, Its echoes roll from sea to sea One more column deeply rooted, At the door of victory

letters Firo The Front Mr Porte McKinnon, son of Mr. and Mrs D. W McKinnon, Clear- 0:viewt 0:Clear-viewt Red Deer, writes November 8, from Hampton Hill, Bushy Park, London, where he is recuperating after being wounded in the arm He had got seventeen letters in a bunch the day before, which had been fol- 0:lowing 0:following him round One( however, was dated May 1G, and others in April, so he intended to get after somebody for the delay. You were asking me what I thought of the was and when it would hnish I don't know what to think of it. We never used to hear very much when we were over in France. When we were in the bommo we had the best of the game all the tune But the bad weather and mud has put a stop to things, and anyone can see that while the Germans have had great losses, the Allies have had I great losses in driving them back, too The British have the best air machines and have the Germans be it j in the air When we were in the Som- 0:me 0:Somme we could always see a dozen of our planes, and not one of the Ger- 0:Imans' 0:Ger-Imans' But they fall back into forti- 0:jfied 0:forti-jfied positions and have them all ready to go into where wo have to go ahead and build over what has i been blown to pieces with the big guns All along the western front the British are throwing twenty shells, to one of the Germans' But they just go down in the dugout and wait till the bombardment stops and then out he collies to meet anyone that ( -wants to come over They havedug- 0:uts 0:havedug-uts from twenty five to seventy five j feet deep with electric light water pipes, cook kitchens, pianos and .everything that you could think of for comfort in them They have been 'driven back about 12 miles on the Somme, and all these dugouts are getting better all the wav They ave elevators for letting stuff down I while things are quiet and when any I thing starts they shoot them up with machine guns on The Allies then go over with the tanks, and clean every- 0:thing 0:everything out that they como across The second time tho tanks went over the Germans came out in lull force of about five hundred men' a- 0:gainst 0:a-gainst it, and started bombing the tank but the machine guns from the tank soon put them all out of action and only took about one hundred pri- 0:soners 0:prisoners out of the whole lot They went on a little farther and got J50 more prisoners and brought the whole, bunch in That was doing fine But tho mud has stopped the tanks They would need to be able to swim to go after them now This is a small map 1 took off a magazine thecthor d iv The first trip I had into tho Sommo I was in a strong point with tho ma- 0:chines 0:machines gun Just about 200 yards to tho left of Mouquet Farm We were holding about 400 yaids of front be- 0:tween 0:between tho Imperials and Canadians B and G Company of the 2nd C M R's, went over and took Mouquot Farm, They lost heavy and D Com- 0:pany 0:Company wont in support to them with I Company in reserve Billy Rich- 0:' 0:Rich-' ards was the only JJCOt left, and their olhcor was gone, too, so Billy kvas O C of the platoon One of the anks went over just to tho right or Mouquet Tarm and the other just to I tge right of Martinpiuch They had more tanks down tho lino around Flere There was a dozen went over at once tho same morning Some ot them came back all right and others ldn t But I don t think they lobt I any totho Germans They were hit y shells after they got back into ! ur lines If a big shell strikes clcse sometimes spoils the tracks which are just tho same as VanSlykt's on 'gme, only larger Tho track goes the whole length of the tank and right over the top, so shrapnel his lots of chance to put them out of I ommission They have the advan- 0:tage 0:advantage when thoy go over, for the Ger- 0:mans 0:Germans are afraid to shell thoir own I renches The tanks carry 500 shells for 2J inch guns, that they have and 30,000, rounds for machine guns I was just to the left of Martinpuich when I was wounded The busiest I place in tho world to-day is between Albert and Pozieres that is the main road to get into the front line, where the British are advancing, that is, nless the Germans have some place to which they are moving more stuff he busiest streets in London to-day re not moving half the stuff that is being moved there About as near as I could make out from the papers ere in the last few days, the pencil ark on the map is just about the front line of the British and they are about seventy-five to one hundred miles from Germany yet, so if JJoyd- 0:George 0:JJoyd-George is going to whip the Germans the way he says they are, its Oomg to take a long time Of course that is just looking at things, the way we oe them, about the front line The big offensive may be taking a lot more effect behind the German lines than we think We hope it is, any- 0:way 0:anywayWell, dad, I don t know what to bay about sending money home I have about $165 to my credit, or more But I don't know whether they will let me remit it or not I would ather have a few cattle at home than tho money not doing anything lor being idle here I will see what I can be done about it when I get back I to the base where the chief paymaster is. Mr T A Gaetz has received a very kindly letter from Lt P J A Andrews, of the 5th Canadian Batta- 0:lion 0:Battalion BEF, who was in the same company as the lato Major Gaetz when the latter waB killed Lt An- 0:drews 0:Andrews writes I don t know if .you will remember .me, I was one of the 89th Battalion party who spent a very pleasant 'Sunday with some of your good citi- 0:zens 0:citizens at Sylvan Lake last May, I I think it was When I got to England 'I was sent to the Fifth Canadians and there met your brother, the late Major Gaetz The Major and I were in the same company and I consequ- 0:ently 0:consequently came to know him pretty well Our work on the Somme, I think I may say without fear of being censor-1 ed, is now finished and we are off to . nothcr part of the line I haven't felt like writing for the time we were up thero, but it occurred to me that you and Mrs Gaetz would like to know from ono who knows you all something of the Major I On the 26tb of September at about noon our battalion, along with an- 0:other 0:another Canadian battalion, made their first attack on the Germans The Major was in charge of a certain party and was wounded shortly after, the start He kept on going and when forced to stop, and while being fixed up by his batman he was wounded again fatally Ho was buri- 0:ed 0:buried on the battlefield up in front of Corcellette, or I should say about ortheast of Corcellette a mile Our battalion w as hit pretty heav- 0:ily 0:heavily in this engagement You probably ill remember Capt Walker and Mc avish, who were also with us at ylvan Lake "They were both I am orry to say, killed at tho same tune i Mr H J Snell writes Canadian Ordnance Corps, Afihford, ' Kent, England No ember lot. 1916 I am now with the above Corps nd like it much better thin the ?ork I was doing in the 89th Batt n fact, while I was in England with hem, I was in charge of fatigue arties and doing- police duty, etc , nd had very little prospect of going ver to Franco with my own com- 0:any, 0:com-any, so as- soon as. I found they ;ere going to send us across in rafts, I got transferred to the Or- 0:nanco 0:Or-nanco Corps, and am at present it the orderly room and I like the work ery much We have been very busy lately sending a lot of armourcts a ay This is the head depot here and all the stuff , such as clothi ig.wairons arness, stretchers, hospital supplies rifleB, etc , all pass through here, and is simply wonderful, the amount f goods that is shipped away This a very important branch of the ervice, and of course, as times go n, it will got larger I like my w ork here and expect to bo here until ftor Christmas, when I hope to be bio to get across to France There is a very nico church here turned into a Red Cross hospital so wo see lots of tho results of tho w ar on the streets and it is a very piti- 0:ful 0:pitiful sight to see so many poor foSows rippled or hurt for the remainder of thiir lives Wo have a great many boys in the Ordnance who have dono their bit at the front and hae been passed as unfit for further service over there The ladies of this coun- 0:try 0:country are working ory hard for the Tommies " At every largo railway station thero are free lunch counters or soldiers travelling and they Mit he hospitals to see i anything po sible is dono to try and make the 'life of a soldier more pleasant There aro about 6,000 Imperial troops llleted here for the winter so what with our own men there aro lots of oldiers around This is much better for tho men to be billeted as they do get a good dry bed to sleep in The British Government pay the people sixpence (12 cents) for the first sold or and fourpence (8 cents) for tho ccond por mght, so you see the peo- 0:ple 0:people do not make any fortune out of it. - - " T"TT5

LETTERS FROM THE FRONT Airs James Mann received the fol lowing very interesting letter from her husband last week France, Sept 7, 1918 Dear Helen Since writing you last my experiences have been many and varied, and I am glad that I am alive and well and suffering no ill effects from my experiences although very tired in body It is a great satisfaction to know that one has done his share in the greatest battle of the war, even though the part taken was a very minor one com pared wth the whole operation I am unable to tell you at this writing where we are or were in our action, or the results on our particular front suffice it to say that onr battalion again covered tself with glory and our company in particular Casual ties, needless to say were not light but I am glad to be able to tell you the number killed was very small in comparison Just imagine us after a weary and tiresome night march arriving at our destination just an hour or so bafore going "over the top,' not knowing what lay before us, or who would be lucky or un lucky In a few hours' time In the gray dawn ot early morning we were all In position and had barely got to our different stations when the quiet of the dawn was broken by what appeared to be a tremendous clap of thunder followed by crashes of lightning It was our artillery onen ing up its barrage for us, and almost beggars description Any thunder and lightning storm that you or I maV have witnessed palled entirely into Insignificance as compared to it and how manyGermans lived through it is only explained by the excellence of their dugouts to which they took refuge It was our duty to follow up this barrage closely enough to catch the Germans when they emerge from their holes after It had passed over, and yet far enough away from it to keep out of unnecessary danger Old timers say there never was such a storm of artillery Are wit nessed, and going forward was like moving in a dream Our objective was easily reached and our work for a few hours was at an end but dan ger still surrounded us as Heinle s guns bad his mark on us and his high explosives and gas shells were always In evidence and gas masks proved more than useful and neces sary and the training In this branch was fully warranted and proved It was a glorious day for the Canadians and merited and received words of praise and commendation This part of the operation did not bother or effect me nearly as much as on the succeeding day when we were under intense shell Are with a minimum of protection but again the majority of us were lucky It was really amus ing at times when one of the boys would get hit vlth a bullet or piece of shrapnel when not of too serious a nature to listen to their delight and remarks about going to Blighty and chaffing going on no doubt help ed to cheer all up Col Page had a chat with me before the action and gave me some good pointers and was kind enough afterwards to enquire how I came through We are hav ing a day or so well earned rest but what there is to follow I am not even able to guess It was interest Ing to watch the tanks going Into action but more especially the planes the air seemed full of them and at timei when they were high they looked like a Lunch of birds in sight You have read in despatches of aeroplanes bringing up ammunition to the front line well I have actu ally seen this take place We were one of the fortunate battalions to be first on the ground that has never seen any fighting since 1914 when the French weie retreating over it before the Huns After the battle or advance you may call it one of the most sorrowing bits of news I heard was that Sergt Clark son of Dr Clark had been killed while lead ing his platoon He was a Sergt Major with us in the 187th battalion and has made good over here being a good leader of men and very highly respected and esteemed by all who came in contact with him and absolutely fearless In action I had a few minutes chat with Cipt (Rev) Farrell yesterday and he said he saw Clark burled I bellpve the number of prisoners taken bv our unit and our Company in particular constitutes a record for the British Army so you may guess how proud we all are of the 'Fighting 50th" JIM

Letter from Major William Van Allen to Rudolph Constandine (in Dieppe, France) re: obtaining permission for members of his Squadron to go to Treport, France, from Lt. Col. Acland.
letters from the front Mr E Howlett's brother, on leave in England, writes the family a vivid summary of his year's ex-. penenoes, which makes good read- On first going to Franco last 1 year, e occupied the trenches in front of Wyschqete and Messines a- 0:round 0:a-round the towa-of Kenunel. Here, we struggled to keep Tntz down for 6 months with what littlo artillery was aSorded, for the ammunition was very scarce Our billets were near the town of Locre, although we lived a good doal in our dugouts near the front line, a four mde walk from Locre and a ratio from Kemi- j nel On March 17th,-we iroved up into the Tpres salient, living in the oi ty of Ypres and working at Hoogo and Sanctuary Wood and ZUkbeke, in the trenches whsro that terrific scrap occurred in June last In Hooge is one of the largest mine j craters on the front, being blbwnup throe times, and around those tren- 0:ches 0:tren-ches thc-stench of dead bodies was terrible The main road to Hooge was the Mcnnin road, commonly known as tho red, red, road to Hooge, and is properly named, for there has been more human blood spilt on that-road than on any other A machine gun or guns swept it continually, and one night , I saw 00 of one party fall by that infernal machine, and it was tho only road to that part, it ..was used a groat deal by transport, and incidentally, Fritz plastered it well with shells From hill 60, he could command all roads about, and Sanctuary Wood was a terrible holo Our bil- 0:lets 0:billets were in the city, and from there wo walked out to our work 3 miles away, but one was never safe out- 0:side 0:outside of a dugout. He systematically strailcd tho city and its entrances for day and night, and wo often found difficulty in gotting within the wall of town for all tho bridges and en- 0:trances 0:entrances were shelled Tho ruins of the once beautiful cathedral is a ter- 0:rible 0:terrible sight indeed Trom Ypres we went to St Eloi with our billets five miles back at Rcmnghelst, but we lived in dug- 0:outs 0:dugouts near the lino Wo landed just in time for the scrap there, and had some mighty closo shaves and varied experiences As one night, Lieut Aport and myself, almost entered one of the mine craters occupied by Fritz, wo received a very warm re- 0:ception 0:reception of bombs, and afterwards ex- 0:perienced 0:experienced a terrifio bombardment, and in each of these places, our or- 0:iginal 0:original men dwindled Then on May 15th, wo moved up to the Bluff redoubt trench taken from Fritz on March 1st last year, including the famous international trench, pioturcs of which I possess Hore we dug tunnels inty) or through the canal bank for protection a- 0:gainst 0:a-gainst sholl fho, and during the scrap at Ypres, we were in front of Hill 60 just left of tho Sanctuary Wood and Zillibeke and sure received our share of the shells, and once I lust left a trench bv a few minutes when it was levelled with shell fire- Whilo at the Bluff, Fritz sprung a mine under uspbnt fortunatolv I was 300 yards away at the time, and this brought us up to the 1st of July, aftei which Fritz was not so active with his artillery, but still used his trench mortars freoly We next moved across the Canal to Spirit Bank, and then to St Eloi again In both placoi I was occupied in put- 0:ting 0:putting in boxes for gas which we used on Fritz on several occasions and hope it did considerable damage Al- 0:so, 0:Also, we were busy tunnelling for dug- 0:outs 0:dugouts Here, tKe 12th Corrpany of Engineers relieved us, of which Charho Joy was an officer Then we started for the Sonrime, a 40 mile walk brought us to St Omer where we remained ten days, and then a 12 hour tram journey landed us at or near Aniens with a 25 mile hike ahead of us to Albert All the way up, the roads were lin- 0:ed 0:lined with transport and parapets mov- 0:ing 0:moving both ways, and we marched to the continuous roll of tho gans Our camp was right near Albert, and our line was m front of Pozi- 0:ores, 0:Pozi-ores, a town lovelcd flat Our ob- 0:jective 0:objective was Mouquet farm and Cour- 0:cellette 0:Cour-cellette and Stuff Redoubt, all of winch we took On Septembor 15th, two sections of us had the exporiente of going over the parapet with the infantry be- 0:hind 0:behind the tanks, and wo sure did laugh to see the poor German devils throw up their hands and cry for irercy and no mercy was given Our work was to put in a strong point i or redoubt jubt in front of the town of Courcollctto which necessitated that wo work in tho open and walk ' in the open in full view of tho Ger- 0:mans 0:Germans is a result of which we lost I hoavily I lost all rry pals there, ' and we experienced great difficulty . in gettingout our wounded, as we ' had to carry them a fall mile over I ground where there -asnt a square I inch left untouched, and Fritz con- 0:tinuallv 0:con-tinuallv shelling And the sight I which confronted us I will not for- 0:get 0:forget rrany of them, and it would be impossible to describe them, and moreover, it would not make pleas- 0:ant 0:pleasant reading, but to see those tanks wabbling over the shell holes was very cheering indeed The remainder of the time at the Somme, wo were busy constructing narrow railways to carry down the wounded Some wero on the coun-1 try roads The artil ery fire was terrific In one place, frontage 1000 yards we had 230 guns pounng steel into Fritz, and our aeroplanes did great work It was thoroughly or- 0:ganized 0:organized all through After a month, of that district, we began to move again After seven continuous days of marching and being billeted in houses, stables, m fact anyplace, wo landed at our present abode of Aix- 0:Noulette, 0:Aix-Noulette, and our trenches are dir- 0:ectly 0:directly nr front of Lens and south of Loos We are in the industrial part of Franco where a great deal of min- 0:ing 0:mining is done, and we can see the trains entering and leaving Lens Our work is revetting trenches and putting in deep dugouts 30 feet un- 0:der 0:under ground, having two trenohes, bufc we expect to move soon,

Abstract: In the autumn of 1918 a deadly pandemic swept the world. The so-called "Spanish" influenza epidemic, and its most deadly side-effect, pneumonia, killed between 50 and 100 million people worldwide. The epidemic created havoc in the medical profession because it was an apparently familiar disease run rampant. Doctors and researchers were baffled by influenza's etiology, the symptoms it displayed, and its spread. The epidemic occurred at a time when many of the important diseases of man had been conquered. The profession was fresh from their victory over typhoid, smallpox, and diptheria on the battlefield when influenza struck. In Canada the epidemic was a significant force behind the creation of the federal Department of Health. It compelled public health boards across the country to re-evaluate their notions of contagious disease and its causes. In urban Saskatchewan the epidemic was the catalyst for change in the way public relief was administered. With a great proportion of the population sick and dying, communities were forced to admit that volunteerism alone was inadequate. There came a realization that government must take responsibility for the sick. Urban communities also "discovered" their poor. The epidemic revealed that injustices and inequities in life were repeated in death. Organized workers responded to this ultimate injustice using the only means they had available. It firmed the resolve of many workers to take part in the sympathy strikes that occurred across the prairies in response to the Winnipeg general strike. Rural Saskatchewan bore the brunt of the epidemic. Isolated and without even rudimentary medical attendance, homesteaders were easy prey for the epidemic. In its wake organized farmers demanded accessible medical attendance and rural hospitals and took the initial steps toward a universal medical care system. The influenza epidemic was a significant force for change in Saskatchewan. No one was left untouched by the experience. Besides forcing a re-evaluation of government's role in caring for its constituents, it also caused, or added to, much of the wearines and discontent that was so characteristic of Canada after the Great War.

LETTERS FROM THE FRONT France, 11-4 18 The following letter, written by one of Red Deer's former boys, Arthur t Slade, displays the spirit of the lads who are fighting our battle for us, that spirit can never be killed Arthur Slade was an accountant in the Mer- 0:chants 0:Merchants Bank, Edmonton, we believe, '' when he joined up with the Canadian forces, and he is in that glorious bat- 0:talion 0:battalion commanded by Col Page, of Red Deer Dear Dad You see, I am again down at that Army school I spoke of, and expect to be here in this delight- 0:ful 0:delightful place from 3 to 5 weeks, although my last stay here was only two days on account of the last offensive move- ) mentB of the enemy, so if things go along as just now we may be able to finish our course this time France, 12 4-1S Tonight's note will be in a different tone to last night's, I am afraid I have just finished reading reports, and a thorough study of today's changed map, as Fritz is busy again, and It has had its effect on me I feel mad My blood boilB I want to get away from this quiet, peaceful place and go to where I belong I want to get back to do my part, to lead my men and show the Boche we are better than they Of this I feel sure, that al- 0:though 0:although he may be able to beat bark - ; the line in some places he ran never v force Canadians to retire, nor can he hope to crush the spirit of organiza- 0:tion 0:organization of our troops They can talk as they like about the Imperial forces, but as far as I can see (and I hao good grounds for thinking so), there is no corps in the British Army more reliable or better organized thau the V ' Canadian Army Corps today This is not wind Were it not for military regulations I would dwell at length on tha present i situation I think faster than I write, but should I write what I think I would be-In line for a Court Martial, (or I feel like a caged lion I want to get out and tear things up This thing makes me wild Will some people never wake up? Will they flavor realize they are fighting a war against an enemy whom they can only liopo to defeat by getting onto their jobs and doing things? In the near future, what do I read, alas I must keep quiet, for what I see distresses me Give me my men, give me a rifle and let me fire and fire and fire, then when the dead are piled high around us, and - still they come, let me die Oh, forgive me If I write wildly My brain is on fire, my mind is tormented, my fingers itch to kill and kill and conquer There are not enough Canadians in this war Oh, curse those men and youths whose hearts have heard the call of duty and who have stopped their ears and turned their feet into the easy paths of pleasure and com- 0:fort 0:comfort May their conscience ever damn them If every man in Canada had done his duty instead of one we could have had three fighting corps in France, with three times the frontage we are now limited to Our army, our Canadian army, could make a stand aye, a glorious stand against the hordes that threaten to assail it There is no doubt of it, we are the strongest point on the Western front but what can we hope for? But of this be sure, we will fight to the last, we will stand and if neces- 0:sary 0:necessary fall, but we will still be facing the foe If I write more this letter may never reach you It Is probably ' well that we cannot say just what we wlBh I am going now to talk Germans to one of the other officers, so good night.

LETTERS FROM THE FRONT Somewhere Ri France Dear Mr Carswell The receipt of a personal reminder that the good peo pie of Red Deer still are cai rying on by cheering the sons of the city that left for Europe with parcels of tuck and useful articles has .emboldened me to ask you to print this general acknowledgement At this period of the long drawn out and wonderfully hated war I can speak for the heartening effect of a concrete expression of sympathy from even an unknown citizen of one s home town I suppose war has always had tho effect of widening the powers of ap preciation of the soldier both for his comrade and for the people for whom he fights It must be so' Even in the dajs of the mercenaries a man could not endure hard fights and priv ations without experiencing a grow ing affection for the man who sweated and swore beside him How natural, then, for the soldier ot our grandest army, having volun- 0:tarily 0:voluntarily left loved ones and prospects to answer the call, to recognise in his jnates the same sprit of service, and, having this in common to encourage confidences, to develop a depth of feeling which in 1913, between men, would have been branded as ' Cissy- 0:fled 0:Cissy-fled " This same unashamed affection be- 0:tween 0:between men will be one t the grandest gains of the tremendous struggle for right in which practically the whole civilized world is engaged, and, hav- 0:ing 0:having been, conceived in such days of trial and beraveraent, Is surely a guar antcethat good falthbetweenmenand nations, will be placed on a pinnacle so high that It shall never again be disturbed by egotistical mannlkins Some day I shall hope to compile a list of Red Deer's contribution to the war I should imagine there are few cities of its size that had a bigger con tingent Good chaps, too' as Jar as I knew them and none better than the, little party that accompanied me to join the 03rd Battalion in Edmonton Lieut A R Gibson had the honor at our first battalion inspection, to command the platoon which was given first place for appearance and general efficiency, and that platoon was No 2 known throughout the battalion as Tho Red Deer boys' 'C Squadron, 12th CMR, also were generally recognised in Sarcee as the best squadron of the Mounted Rifles in camp Our contribution to the 31st, 49th 60th, 51st and 66th battalions showed their quality by the number of chev rons gained and the original squadron which left Red Deer for Valcartier and were absorbed into the grand old 5th battalion hae made history I cannot speak at this time, of bat talions later than I have mentioned, for J did not see and know them, but I am promising myself many pleasant hours looking over their records By means ot the local papers I have been able more Or less to keep in touch with the doings of many, to feel a pride in their jolly spirited letters, so full of dogged determination to finish the furrow, and yet so full of home longing I have known also of those who, their duty done have "gone west' Tommies' phrase, which to my mind is rather beautiful although he d scoff at the idea There is somethng mora still and tranquil, to me, in a sunset than in the more fiery break of dawn, and it comes at the end of the day Know all you1 anxious watchers for the return of the Dove your fine boys are grousing all the time, because that Is a soldiers privilege, but they are happj too, in their different ways They are well fed, diversions are present in plenty when practicable they have a wonderful mail service and a never failing sense of the ridic ulous to hejp them over the rough spots They will return, God willing bigger men, unafraid of themselves, and un ashamed of their deepened feelings, looking for opportunities to show their love of life their own and their chums Many a tale of mud and corruption and screaming shells will be told with a sparkling eye, to its climax, of a comradks spluttering in a shell hole of liquid mud or a valiant struggle with refractory mules Many a scene will be conjured up of some whitefaced comrade vorlfer ously blackguarding a ' hum bird ' who is dropping 'eggs too close to be pleasant May the time for these recitals soon come We and you, will be glad I know Meanwhile, I know too we're together in hoping that the great tra dition may be maintained until it pleases the gods to grant release from the neccssty to "carry on " One has been asked oftentimes if he likes being at war Personally, the answer is in the negative I am pretty sure the majority of us out here are longing all the time for Sunny Alberta for the opportunity to sprawl on the broad of one s back and watch the fleeting clouds and flutter ing birds instead of these uncorafort able humbirds ' to have the kiddies stuff one s ears and nostrils full of grass anything so long as it 1b peace But as a fair observer I have to say that one would never guess the ever growing longing present amongst the boys To watch them going in to the line to do ther trick is a revelation of the solidarity of the young man of today Most faces are grave not anxious but so obviously expressing the fact that their thoughts are with 'the people at home and filled with a sense of duty to be done The company clown only and there is always one breezes along making facetious replies to questions from Tommies in camps on the line of march, 'What battalion boys'" "The Prussian Guards ole son' and the fleeting tolerant smile of his comrades reveals the fact that they love him for his nonsense at such a time Coming out maybe fewer in numbers whitefaced with fatigue, not over com pact as to column or route but never illgrpomed in appearance, their heads are higher and their faces ex pectant for the more or less battered bilets and cushy' sleep Next day they will be playing foot ball or practicing their diabolically pronounced French on the girls at the estaminet bright eyed and' spruce once more So it goes on' a daily round not over stocked with pleasure One Zip' to all for what it is worth, before closng Some bugle calls are more popular than others with Tommy ' Reveille,' and the Short dress for parade,' are not over loved The ' Cookhouse ' and "retreat" are favorites. "Orderly ser- 0:geants" 0:sergeants" especially if atMhe "double" is a fine opportunity to present a broad grin at the harried individual who answerer but the "Yell" from every- 0:one 0:everyone when the "mail" call goes, is suffi- 0:cient 0:sufficient evdence that it is the most pop- 0:ular 0:popular of all There are some who yell who are lisappolnted! Write often' It helps' Beat of good news to all in the com Ing year To comrades of the Cana dlan corps and elsewhere, "Cheero! Keep you heads down " To the lucky blighters holding monthly meetings of the "Great War Veterans' Society" Well done, and Thank God!" Yours sincerely, ED CLARKE, Capt and Adjt 9th CRT

as ' Suicide corner," would hae no meaning for the new comers but you know that names have a meaning out here Now in Sir Douglas Haig's annual report he men tloned the work of the Naval Division at Oavrelle it is permissible to en large on that exploit We got to the Arras region just after the successful push at Easter time It was good to see what splendid pro gress had been made No longer could the Boche train his guns by using Arras Cathedral as a target Moreover our gunners had a share in the Vimy show It cheered them to see what the Canadians could tackle and triumph over But the last week of April was our real tester ' for our division s job waB to take the village of Oavrelle and keep our eye on Oppy wood Our fellows took the village right enough whilst it still re malned a village, but there came at least nine counter attacks so by the end there was not much village, but it was ours and our line secure ahead of It Two VC'b and many other decorations were won by our battalion in those eventful days It so happened that I struck across one of our advanced dressing stations on a day when things were lively and our stretcher bearer squads were short of a bearer No chance of get ting an extra S B at once, so naturally I chipped in The dressing station was in an old Boche gun fit It over looked Garelle just a mile distant The area is best described as un healthy There were several sights and sounds in addition to the shells to prove that Anyway, our job was to get to the RAP (Regimental Air Post) in Gavrelle village, just a mile forward Our whole squad went on its own Our first trip took us just to the outskirts of the village for there, amongst the shell holes, we found a poor fellow with a Bmashed leg Almost alongside him, on a stretcher another body, but coming down his life had ''gone West ' We got into the shell hole bound up our comrade, and took him back Another trip in the early morning took us to the RAP It was in some cellars near the church, of which the spire was still standing We each got our man but the last squad stopped a shell the rest of us made the journey unscathed A Boche plane came down in flames not tar away as we journeyed along a cheering scene for you cannot think deeply on these occasions if you are going to carry on One less eye to the enemy is a pleasing fact, the thought of a sorrow stricken home may come to mind later For several more days I shared the hospitality of that aid post Gavrelle was a heap of ruins and debris by that time One of our company commanders, wounded in those days poet as well as warrior contributed to Punch' later on, a poem known as 'Zero Hour which will live, for it expresses what many thought but could not utter, about those days During the summer things quieted down in that area, in fact we look back upon our summer there as amongst our happiest recollections Then we proceeded to the ever memorable Ypres area FUwderb contrasts with France in many ways even in the quality of the mud It was stiff with troops, guns am munition transport and all the varied devices and equipment of modern war fare There my own part took a different order to previous days As senior Chaplain In a division part of one's job is to look up the work of the other padres and be somewhere central so as to keep in touch with them Well one A A and QMG proposed to run two soup kitchens up forward and he offered me the job For sev eral reasons I was glad to accept Anyway it meant a fixed station and some sort of abode a consideration In that area A few men and two N C O s were appointed to carry on the job Whilst the supply of food and material was maintained excellently Also one of our other padres went with me He had recently joined us from a country vicarage in Kent An ample person some fourteen stone in weight cool as a cucumber and a real cheery soul It was a dreary journey up by lorry and on foot But we soon settled in for our abode was a 'pill box ' One of those reinforced concrete strongholds captured from the Boche which are about the only buildings in those regions concrete floor roof and walls of immense thickness the roof being flat of course Our P B was divided into t o compartments it was a soml basement in other words part below ground level and part above It was situated at the side of a well known road and just at a point where two sets of duck board tracks up to the line met Aross the road our dressing station had the other Pill Box behind which we ran a kitchen for hot tea and coeoa But such a country ?ust a bare pock marked watery plain, the pock marks being thousands of shell holes, half filled with water Nothing to relieve the landscape, no trees except a few of the type Barnafather gives In his clever sketches But of the kitchens the one further back was equipped like ours We had three Soyer stoves, one for the real soup, and another for the stock, and a third for boiling water Thus we kept up a continuous supply day and night for a fortnight At a low estimate an average of 1,500 basins a day Acrosa the road the cocoa and tea went as quickly as it could be supplied, foi, mind you, there was no lack of appli- 0:ants, 0:appli-ants, though occasionally shells kept the road clear But late at night mud caked figures from the trenches drop- 0:ped 0:drop-ped in whilst in the early morning gunners, prisoners, and transport men .ame along To see a long line of horses and mules laden with shells come along in the grey dawn is strik Ing enough any time, but more so vhen you follow them going steadil ahead almost hidden by the smoke and jpheaal caused by shells, and find the majority get through unscathed The Boche gunners seemed fond ot our road for evidently our batteries annoyed him So he plastered cer tain Bpots with great regularity One ahead of us, as a sample, was a bat tory of the Royal Field Artillery Their guns had a rough passage till only two men remained, but they kept twe guns going and got through A 'Pili Box' seems to increase vibration, for what with our guns up to 8 in banging away, and the Boche shells bursting around your ears get a tough time Added to this, the going up' of an ammunition dump sixty yards away nade the old place tremble a bit At night gas shells provided variation The fellow on watch would cry out ac ilarm and on would go our box re splrators My brother padre had s big tussle with his one night before he got it on, and if the gas had blows ur way it would have spoiled the Joke However, the guards were talk Ing outside, a habit they have aftei you all are saCely boxed up in a res plrator ' By the way we numbered nine In our part of the P B , while over a 1ozen stretcher bearers lived in the other part Great fellows our SB s lads from Lancashire mainly Amongst other things they would discuss their chances so-and so is out for a V C or R II P , they jokingly say It maj iound callous, but see them at their job and you ll think differently Two of our padres were killed one day We mlBs them much but are prone! of them One went with his battalion over the top, as the phrase goes It was in reality an advance through mud and slush from a line without trenches He was klMed whilst bind ing up the wounds of his soldier ser vant The other was stretcher bear ng Right forward near where the fell we burled their bodieB, amongst their comrades whom they served so well whilst a little further back on the duck boards, three of our own S B s and fhe Boche, who were carrying Jown the wounded were killed by one shell But I won t dwell on these scenes sufficient is realized, though It was strange when one morning a young padre from another division had just passed our 'pill box' whilst the Gothas were hovering around A bomb dropped near him, killing him instantly without a mark of any wound on him Stray dogs are numerous One little dog 'blew in' to our place one day He was terrified of shell fire and tried to dig a hole in the floor of the pill box Falling at this he just wormed his way behind our overcoats and cheered up a bit when he got hungry Now some fuse heads look very in nocent but don t carry them about in your pocket now a-days is my advice for if you chance upon a mustard gas fuse head you 11 remember it a few days later plenty of blisters I can assure you You can understand that shaving and generally keeping clean is difficult up the line However, you may get strafed by the powers that be if there s a two days' growth on your chin and you are actually going over the top But I would claim excep tions On the last day of our fort nights sojourn one of our fellowa a splendid worker had a real stubby growth I put on the severe look Ke said he would shave directly he got back ' Why not now you have time said I Then I noticed his nands shaking as if with ague He had no safety razor so I claimed him s an exception We finished the fortnight under live ly conditions A continuous strafe from Gam till after midday so our relief did not arrive till the afternoon On that Canada added to her laurels for it was the day when the Canadians took Passchendaele Village Today I note some of the great exploits of your latest V C s possibly that very morn ing those deeds were done Amongst other exploits one of our young officers with half a platoon captured a pill box and took the occupants prisoners without losing a man I ve drawn this account too long already Much as everyone yearns for a fin Ish to this great war yet until there is a real guarantee that the Prussian spirit of blood and fire rule is sup pressed there can be no security for a lasting peace This concerns the whole human race I

To an uncommon degree the history of the Battlefords reflects the major forces which shaped Western Canadian development prior to World War I. In pre-white times the ford near the mouth of the Battle River was the tribal feuding grounds of Cree and Blackfoot, and the meeting place of both plains and woods Indians. With the coming of the "pedlars" and Hudson's Bay Company men the present-day Battlefords district became strategic fur country. It was well-stocked with beaver and handy to the buffalo herds of the plains, and competitive trading posts were located in the vicinity. Surveyors, contractors, govern�ment and police officials, and settlers followed traders into the North Saskatchewan parks country, and conflict between old and new ways, between trade and agriculture, between systems of land tenure, erupted there in 1885. Again, Battleford's location was crucial. The relation�ship between railways and immigration, and the economic consequences of good railway transportation to a wheat and cattle oriented country are also admirably demonstrated by developments in the district at the turn of the century. Because a history of the Battlefords must touch upon all these issues, and others important to Western Canada, this locality is particularly interesting for detailed examination. With the hope that understanding of our heritage may be gained from it, this study of the Battlefords was undertaken.

LEtTERS FROM THE4' FR0NT The following letter from Teddy Meeres will be read with interest by his Red Deer friends Somewhere in France, December 2nd, 1917 Dear Theresa, It is fairly cosy here in our domicile, this capaclonn attic of a large, brick house, but outaido it is numblngly cold, not zero we.itner of course, in fact I doubt if the mer- 0:cury 0:mercury has dropped below the freezing mark, but it is the type of frigidity that creeps into the marrow of jour bones like a knife, and tosses the icy particles of Intermittent snow llur rles into the faces of pasBlrg pedos trians But still we have no kick against the weather man, he fnvoied us with a good November True, the cloudy days have outnumbered the sunny ones, but that grey mantle of the skies has by far oftener threatened dampening downpours than produced them During the opening days ot December one would hardly expect the mellow balmy weather of mldsum mer Ten days spent in this burg has en hanced rather than diminished for me the attractions of town life as com- 0:pared 0:compared with that in the smaller villages we are usually billeted in when out, of the line Of course, it could not be compared to the trenches, anything is preferable to them There the least of our troubles is the uncongenlality ot our surroundings as long as our domiciles are half ways bomb proof The shop windows, resplendent with their varied displays with the glimp- 0:ses 0:glimpses they provide of brilliantly lighted Interiors, possess a sort of magnetism for me, even after I have expended my half monthly portion of the coin of the realm Much of my leisure time is spent wandering round the streets of the town Of course, I must admit the displays of goods are far from the only attractions these French shops boast, there is usually one or more alluring demoisolle behind the count- 0:ers, 0:counters, modishly dressed with an adept's knowledge of cosmetics, and some- 0:times 0:sometimes I am tempted to bring my limit ed French into play in order to con- 0:lerse 0:con-lerse with them Usually disaster awaits my efforts for though I sue eed making mademoisele understand ne, her mile a minute replies leave me entirely at sea One little pattern of laintlness, however, by means of an -English French dictionary had master ed a fair amount of English, anl for about three quarters of an hour seem ed to derive much amusement jn cor rectlng my faulty pronunciation of her owi language, while I did mj humble best to explain to her the meanlug of English words which puzzled hir The pending federal elections havo aroused considerable interest over here, and the merits and demerits of the military so-vice act are daily dis cussed and debated on in everv corn er of the billets The soldiers' vote, from present indications, is liable to e far from as one sided as you might suppose, though doubtless a handsome majority will be returned for the Union Government The principal objection raised against the act is that it is an endorsement of the mill tarlsm against which we are fighting, while others oppose it because they have relatives whom it would affect, or because they do not wish to be in- 0:strumental 0:instrumental in making others go through the ordeals which they them selves have suffered You will probably remember Sgt Newton, the tali sergeant of the old outfit who used to run his own car around Red Deer while we were there he was wounded in the last big Can- 0:adian 0:Canadian advance, .lying a day and a half helpless in a shell hole before he was discovered He was one of the finest sergeants in the old battalion I hope he is re covering alright in some hospital in Blighty now Received a letter from father yes terday in which he intimated that there is a possibility ot him being sent to the United States as an In structor in the American army Would n t it be great if it panned out alright' Have received no word from Ray re cently With all kinds of good wishes for Christmas and the New Year, and heaps of love, TEDDY The following letter from Cecil Parker, of Horn Hill, will also be in teresting reading Queen's Park Hospital, Bircbington, E Kent England, November 12th, 1917 Dear folks I should have written you before since landing in England, but was too lazy, because I have felt well enough too I think I dame to the best hospital in England, as it is a gentleman's residence and all the work is done voluntarily, nursing and every th'ng The grub Is dandy, and I have just stowed away an enormous dinner for a sick man. The wards we are in, be fore the war, were a private museum, the largest private one in the world they say and there are animal heads of every description sticking around all over the place and a lot more ?tuff they are going to show us as soon asOfce are up I don't know If you will want to hear about it or not but I will give you a kind of description of my experiences when I was hit A bunch of us were detailed to stay at the horselines when the battalion went in the line, as a kind of reserve in case ot emergency They didn't give us long to rest, and the very first day they sent us in to the line with K u j..t rations Everything has to be done in the daylight as it is so wet that at night time a fellow would be falling into shell holes up to his deck in water I did fall into one that day, rations and all, and I'll bet the guys blessed me when they went to eat that bread After we had made the first trip, which was all we expected to make, we were nearly back to the horse lines, tired and hungry, when along came a transport man with a bunch more junk to go up to the frdnt line We were too tired to say any thing, we just sat down and looked mad Here was another journey of about ten miles to go and we had been on the go since about eight in the morning, and it was after twelve then and we wouldn't get anything to eat until we got back again I didn't like the idea either, because Mr Fritzie was dropping a few things that leave holes you could bury a house in, but we knew that the sooner we got away the quicker we would get home again Nothing happened to speak of until we were about halfway home again The shells were coming kind of fast, and we started to run, and a corporal and I ran almost in under one We both flopped, and I felt something go whack in my side, and I said to the corporal, "Give me a hand I think I am hit' Gosh,' he says, "I think I am, too," and beat it for the dressing station as hard as he could and I wasnt very far behind him, believe me The doctor looked at my side and said It was nothing but a scratch and the corporal didn t have a thing the matter with him Well, I walked back to the transport lines and ate .up about all the bully beet and hard tack they had and then went to bed Jack Leithead, Ken Ivan, and I were all together, Jack and I bunking together Up till then my side felt fine, but as soon as I lay down I had to smartly get up again After a while I reported to headquarters, and they sent me to a dressing station I went from there to a clearing station, thence on to a train right through to a Canadian base hospital, and after a few weeks they shipped me over here They put the Xrays on me at the base and dug the little piece of shrap nel out of my side and now I am fine and dandy, it hardly bothers me at all I have every mortal thing a fel low could wish for here When one gets out of bed they give you a nice blue suit, white shirt and collar, and red tie, regular dandies we are I brought all my shaving kit etc with me from France, but the Cana dlan Red Cross give you a nice bag here as soon as you arrive in hospital containing razor (I have an auto strop of my own which I bought in Edin burgh when Tom and I were up last spring) brush soap hair brush, comb tooth brush, and a lot ot other useful stuff which comes In very handy In deed Well, I will close, sincerely hoping you are all in the best of health and that you will take the best of care of yourselves this coming winter Wishing you all a Meiry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I remain, your loving son and brother, CECIL

In this study an attempt is made to outline the most important ways in which the Canadian agricultural economy adjusted to changing patterns of domestic and export demand during the Second World War. At the end of a decade of depression, the outbreak of hostilities in 1939 seemed to promise that high levels of Allied demand would at last relieve this country of troublesome food surpluses. Although it was originally expected that Canadian wheat would be among the vital weapons of war, the capitulation of a number of European Allies to the Axis Powers in 1940 meant that the United Kingdom would be the only significant wartime export market for Canadian wheat. A near-record yield of 540 million bushels of wheat glutted Canadian markets in 1940, making imperative a drastic reduction in wheat acreage in the succeeding years of the war. At the same time, the United Kingdom was cut off from former continental sources of livestock and dairy products, and Canada became the nearest alternative source of food imports for the British people. Because the state played a significant role in effecting a major wartime shift from wheat to animal products and in channelling Canadian food into domestic and export markets, a large part of the analysis in each Chapter is concerned with the techniques and effective-ness of state intervention in the agricultural economy. Chapter I outlines briefly the state of Canadian agriculture on the eve of the war, including the effects of the depression on farm production, prices and incomes. Chapters II to IV deal almost exclusively with agricultural adjustment to wartime conditions and with the related activities of the state. Finally, the temporary and permanent impact of altered wartime demand on the agricultural economy is analyzed in Chapter V with a view to placing the decade of the nineteen--forties into a long-run context

Letters from the front Mr James Mann writes, January 22, a most interesting story of some of his brother Art s experiences as follows lust a line to let you know I am still in the land of the living and that I had the great pleasuro of a daudy visit from Art, whom I had given up for lost lie turned up last bundaj night (14th inst ) and you can imagine rcy surprise when one of the quarantine guards called me out, to hnd him there waiting for me Harvey worked him through the guards for me, and he stayed until the following Wednesday, when he had to report back to London for immediate return to France lie suie can tell some wonderful tales oi the front Sixteen months without leave and some pretty bribk ngage incnts He was in five charges in all in addition to innumerable raids Was one of 80 to come back uuinjur- d out of a whole battabon as w ith b reddle liliss and quite lose to lies Ucorge when killed it cents they had been over three days w ithout anything to eat or Ui ink. and the bombing oluccr sugestd that he nd Des endeavor to get througii inch they did but it bceins that 1 1 eturning instead of cou ang a round about way and keeping under covet, hey marched right up and weie struck by a shell Ihe oilicer was wounded at the same time Art savs Des. was a splendid corporal and xceptionally well liked On his ic- 0:turnto 0:ic-turnto the platoon the oilicer very seldom or ever gives Art an oidei direct but passes them through a third party Art and the two ser- 0:geants 0:sergeants are the only ones left of the riginal platoon of 48 lie has turn- d down two commissions and only accepted his corporal s stripes to be more with the other two He is the as N C O of bis platoon inspecting the masks every day to see that they are in order.

He gave three lectures of an hour s duration here to the MU b and some of the ouiccrs which were instructive and much appreciated Can you imagine Art standing on his foet talking to a class lor an hour 1 He had w ith him his entire outht including ntle, gas helmets (2), shell helmet, etc He and liulftj Jackson were cooks for the platoon no day and had swiped son edibles from the olliceis and had a dandy dinner about ready, but both took a notion to go into the dugout tor something and when they came out, they found then dinner all blown to pieces He has had German bombs all at his feet and all around him but seems so lar to bear a charmed life Two of his inventions are now employed on the front line of his div- 0:ision 0:division One is an alarm system where- 0:by 0:whereby a tierman raiding party is detect- d and shows exactly on what part of the lirvo the attack is to bo trade The other is listening telephone vvhcie .by conversations in a tierm in trench can bo heard and they cannot hear urs He eventually expects some tangible returns from theoe Bombing in his opmion, is going to win this war, of course, in conjunction with the artillery Their advances are not made now as formerly They now ad- 0:vanco 0:ad-vanco with the barrage, keeping about 20 yards behind 't The artillery fire is so perfect there are no short shells and consequently no casualties from their own shells After one charge ho I states that all day long he was bind mg up and carrying out wounded and it was his first experience at first aid w ork Stretchers were improvibed out of 2x4, 4x4, angle iron, blankets, ground sheets or anything they could hnd and frequently the stretchers were a great deal heavier than their burdens He dropped his rifle four times in one charge picking up the first one handy each time and event- 0:ually 0:eventually ending up with his ow n weapon at the olose of the chargo He claims the hardest trial on the new soldier is to bayonet your first German, but after you have done one, you can- 0:not 0:cannot be held back. We asked him a- 0:bout 0:a-bout taking prisoners and his reply was that they took one batch of prisoners on one chargo and the next day they had no grub They havo to feed whatever prisoners they take until sent back He says we don't go hungry on that account any moro Quarantine is still in forco with us and no hope for speedy lifting All waiting anxiously for our first leavo Only $7 50 pay sinoe leaving Calgary and ovorybody broke.

My dressing station was in the eel lar of a ruined chateau and made a I rst rate place to handle the wound- 0:ed 0:wounded I established a soup kitchen and ad hot pea soup, Oxo and coffee, steaming hot night and day and this I insisted was given to all who came in, wounded, carriers runners and those exhausted I don't think that I i ver got so much pleasure from anv- 0:hing 0:anv-hing as I did from this and watch- 0:ng 0:watch-ng the marvelous change that it works in the tired and worn'out men It bucked them right up and back they went to the firing line feeling ke new men The other day two runners came In, caked with mud, wet, chilled and wearv They were two hoys from Winnipeg 19 vears old, bright and smiling in spite of their condition and such good soldiers They answer- 0:ed 0:answered my questions so nieclv and were eady to leave when I asked them to have some hot soup and promptly proceeded to fill up their bellies You should have seen the thanks and gra- 0:titude 0:gratitude in their eyes Ono of the hard problems heie l getting the wouaded from the firing line to the dressing station this sometimes takes hours aiid taxes en- 0:durance 0:endurance of the bearers to the limit !ou can imagine a pitch dark night, a narrow and twisting trench, the mud aud very often they strike over- 0:land 0:overland as the trench is impossible All this time the shelling goes on and often one or other of the party falls into a shell hole and sometimes all of thorn, including the injured one The beautiful feature about tho res ue and delivery of the wounded is hat tho men never refuse the duty, never complain and I have heard hem say they had not done any- 0:thing 0:anything that was worth talking about I have had my steel helmet rattled hrec times by small pieces of shrap- el and have had shells drop quite s close as close to me as 1 caic to avc them If there is time and they re close, the fellows throw them- ches on their faces and if possible oil into a shell hole The other night we were at dinner and one hit radically on our cellar, blew out he lu,ht blew in the window and attled some bricks down tho staus There was a laugh, the candle was relit and the meal went on This is not bravado on the part of the boys ut this indifference must be main- nincd otherwise the atmosphere in hich we live would be impossible ifTo take the thing seriously would be to go "bug-house " I Another thing that I want to tell you ibout and which the pipers have got right and do not lie about .is tho conduct of the men when onnded They do not whine or 'moan or grumble, but chat if they can and make light of it if they can talk and they do at once smoke a lgarcttc as the papers siv they do have hid bid "ascs do all this Tor nstince a man with five shrapnel w ounds and a smashed leg did it and did not do it in i boasting wiy ' o

LETTERS FROM THE FRONT The following interesting and well written letter was received by His Honor Judge Lees a few days ago, one of our boys having received a pac ket of tobacco sent over by the Judge, he writes in reply thanking him for it, and incidentally gives us a glimpse ot the spirit ot our boys over there The Judge would like to know who the writer is, and publishes the letter in the hope that he may find out France, June 14th, 1018 Honourable Judge Lees, Red Deer, Alta. Dear sir, Accept the following few lines in my utmost appreciation for the tobacco Bent by you and duly re ceived Rather coincidental that the gift from home should have been re ceived by one of the old Red Deer boys, however, such was the case Every 'pipe o baccy' smoked, shall contain at least a little thought of kindness for those who are inatru mental In sending the gift Rest on my assurance, you shall not be omitted in the aforesaid thoughts Perhaps you would wish to know how one of your town boys is progressing the answer to this would be A.1 at Lloyd's, and that is saying a volume, having been out here three years, less one month I left with Capt A. R Gib- 0:son 0:Gibson At that time I was In the In fantry, now I am doing a turn with the Garrison Artillery, its quite a change from the former, I assure you There are very few left of that company of Capt A. R Gibson's now How are the people taking this pro- 0:longed 0:prolonged struggle? I hope every bit as cheerful as the boys out here The following statements no doubt would sound stale to some people, never theless the fact is undeniable, to wit, the spirit of the troops is marvellous, absolutely One sees them going in the line chaffing each other and laugh- 0:ing 0:laughing quite heartily, as though it were a football match they were going to attend I cannot understand the spirit of a Britisher, It is quite beyond me Old Jerry, is having a good meal at present, so to speak, there is yet the 'Feast of Foch' to celebrate, and right royally will It be attended, though quite to Jerry's bitter regret, and nothing will face him but hopes forlorn of the future It takes two to fight and our lads have not commehc ed We await the opportune moment Therefore let those at home feel quite confident, as we (the boys) who are in the midst of it all say, "Let him do his dirtiest and his d dest, the rope is round the German horde of devils, the pull that will finish them will be of Yankee origin," so we should worry The aim of Ger many is very transparent to all who care to study it Their armies are fighting at present in ter ritory which is not German and to which Germany has not a shadow of claim The one great Inspiration is the hope of gain, one cannot think otherwise However, their gains ex 1st only on maps, the ground con quered by them is not of the slightest use, insofar, it neither feeds nor clothes them consequently is of no advantage so where the role of con queror comes in I fail to see Of course they are highly successful In piling up their men as 'cannon fodder ' These German thrusts are termed, by our military authorities, as 'mascu line' To my mind a better term would be 'suicidal' or 'semi murder ous However, they have had two such thrusts, the third will be best of all 'Twill be 'Foch's own,' the con sequent undoing of autocratic Germany So, good folk here's hoping the best to hear We are experiencing the most glorious weather at present, rather re minds me of our dear 'Sunny AI' about this time of year Though my body is here my heart is at all times in the 'HillB and Plains ot Alberta' God bless her' Must now close as I be lleve too much of your valuable time will have been monopolized by this letter, which I have taken the privi lege to write Best regardB and deep- 0:est 0:deepest respects to all the citizens of our fair burgh Trusting you will par- 0:don 0:pardon me in taking this privilege I will conclude, in doing bo accept my sin cere respects Again thanking one and all for the 'baccy gift,' believe me to be, A FAITHFUL RED DEER TOMMY No 46428, 1st Can Siege Battery, Canadian G A, France

We were moved in April to St Eloi, and then it was we had the scrap for the craters It was murder to try to hold them but the orders were such and wo wouldn't let go They fell back on our flanks but the 31st wouldn t budge an inch, and what's more the 31st has never lost an inch of ground yet We got badly cut up there The 2nd Division were rushed to tbe Ypres district whero we put a finish to Fritz's funny tricks though it cost us a lot The 3rd were taken out of it altogether and we held them till the 1st came up and they won t forget that night for a while It was the night we took back what had been lost and a bit more that I got the luoky scratch. The people can t do enough for the wounded here They are at us all the time for anything we need There are women coming round tvuy morn- 0:ing 0:morning with cigarettes, candies, tooth paste, brushes, eto Then a barber who shaves ufs. When we came off the train at Waterloo the station was just packed They made a great fuss giving us everything. We were all Canucks All stretcher cases went in tiie Red Cross wagonc, but there was all the big bugs with their private cars who took us walking oases. They suro try their best to show their appreciation. I had quite a few bttle souvenirs but lost all my kit I have only got a belt I picked up with all the different badges on it. I will slip this on to you the first chance I get I intend getting my photo taken when I get around so you will see how well I am looking. Since I came hore I am getting good and fat I think you will see the finish of the whole thing this fall and as it will bo two or three months before I'll be ready to go back, I am not figur- 0:ing 0:figuring on going They generally send us to the convaleboent home from here, where we will bo a month, then we go training for a few months I will likely get a few weeks leave so you see I am jako for a long time We have a theatre in connection with the hospital and last night we had all the stars down from the Hippo- 0:drome 0:Hippodrome It was great. Ward 63, Military Hospital Levvisham, Eng , June 29 Dear Mother and Father 1 am glad to write again and say i am in the pink. My ankle is huo and I am out in the afternoons, the lameness all gone. I have had some time while hole. There is a mar- 0:ried 0:married sister of Arch bcott s, a Mrs Winning, who hvcb in Greenwich just a short distance in the car from here bhe was along to see me a few days after 1 came here and on Sunday afternoon I was at their place and with them to tho Greenwich Tark whero thcro was a band concert. It seems that no matter whore ono is there is lluglen folk On Monday I was at a garden party at Blackheath in one of tho big houses There was about 20 of us and with a couplo of nurses we went in cars to this place We had a great time there Then a- 0:gain, 0:a-gain, yesterday, I was on the river yachting There was about fifty of us and at tho invitation of tho Tort of London authorities, wo went for a day on the Thames It was a line day and the sailiag was fine It was ono of their private steam yachts and the spread they gave us O, my lhe pcoplo suio give us great times, in fact, I think tho way they treat us is going to spoil us for future soldi- 0:ering 0:soldiering We got back about six o clock to the hospital and there was a com- 0:pany 0:company entertained us for tho evening 1 just got tho letter from Billy Scott, who is at the East Ear Hos- 0:pital 0:Hospital at Tunbridge Wells He said ho was getting along hrst rate which, I was pleased to hear I had Jimmy up last Saturday to see me and he was looking good He left to go to Eastcote, wheie Billy Jackson is I mean to visit him I learned from him about Dave going to France, I had been worrying why ho hadn't written He must have gone out a- 0:bout 0:a-bout the time I came back I have' not got my mail yet and as it is nearly six wHeks since I had word from you I hope everything is jako at home I have no idea what bat- 0:talion 0:battalion Dave has been drafted to I am expecting word any day from him, as ho would find my address when he run up against the battalion Well, dear folks, we will wish the best of hick to follow him all the time as it did me It seems a coinci- 0:dence 0:coincidence that he should be sent out a bout the same time I qame back I am going from hero to morrow to a Canadian convalescent, where I will be for a few weeks I nad my ankle photographed the other day, but I havo not seen the pictures it was by tho X Ray This will convince you how well I am when I am going to tho convalescent Though I am pret- 0:ty 0:pretty well used to being on the move I must say I feel sorry to be leaving this place as I certainly have had a swell time hero However, it is the same wherever we go so the change will be good and I will see some other place JOHNNY WltfCflT

LETTERS FROM THE FRONT JUDGE LEE8' TOBACCO MAN FOUND. Harold Harcourt writes to a friend in the country. My dear friend A few lines I write amid the turmoil and strife No doubt you have often won- 0:dered 0:wondered why I have not written before now Forgive me, but honest truth to tell, the fault did not wholly lie with me I've been down the line in hos pitai quite a while, sick, but sick in more ways than one, I can assure you ot that fact Well, how are you all, Belle? I sincerely hope in the best of health Do you know, all the mall I have had in the last four months has been two letters, one from Mrs H Domoney. the other from Isabel Harte, the result being Ive as much heart to 'carry on' as a pig on Ice, and that's not much Letters from home are our only consolation and Joy over here, they act like a tonic when we aio most depressed This statement is no exaggeration. I ve seen bovs hero in my own battery, ask (r mail, and on being told there is none for them tht Just sit and brood, ana others swear by all thats holy they'll ner write home again till they are in re ceipt of a letter, so you see from what I've just related a letter from home Is priceless, so to speak A few ot the local boys, I believe, are gradually finding their way home, good luck to them is all I wish Seems to me I shall be one of the last to come back but better late than never, I should guesB It's a donkey s age since leav ing God's own country, however, I will be satisfied to arrive

quite a bunch of tobacco from him We are at present having most glorious weather, which I hope will last for some time There is no news of Importance to relate, so will bring this note to a close Best

has passed and July has made its advent under weather conditions that savor of the Ideal summer sultry, sunshiny days occasionally giving way to cool cloudy ones, though barren of rain mellow starlit nights that dispel the heat and glare of the day, and laden the air with the fragrance ot field and wood land Grain crops are ripening fast In fact in places the harvest has al ready commenced, but not to the hum of the binder or the clatter of the mower, but the laborious swish swish of scythe or sickle The popples and cornflowers that earlier so abundantly flecked the grain fields seem to have faded with the maturing of the grain, but along the edges of the fields and in the uncultivated meadows they still bloom profusely, Interspersed with white daisies and scores of flowers of which I do not know the names, which half conceal the lowly bindweed with its dainty pink and white bell shaped blossom that hugs the earth beneath them In the shel ter of the roads the vegetation is re markably rank and dense, and in many instances four to Ave feet in height It consists chiefly of ferns bracken with great spreading leaves nettles and our old friend ot the Canadian woods, with its spikes ot deep mauve blossom, the fireweed In open and sunny glades the searcher may be rewarded with an abundance of luscious wild strawberries Cling ing to the leaves of weeds and shrub bery are scores of snails, ensconsed in gaily tinted and striped shells On the ground one may find larger ones orange colored, about an inch and a half In length, which do not carry around their homes with them, but shrink up Into a ball when dis turbed In the trees during the day time feathered songsters keep up a constant flow of melody, broken now and then by the harsh discordant "caw-caw" of the crows fluttering clumsily among the tree tops or the impudent chattering of a pair of mag- 0:pies 0:magpies Roads are carpeted with thick layers of dust, which stirred up into clouds by passing vehicles, has in set- 0:tling 0:settling filmed with grey the foliage of roadside vegetation and shrubbery On Dominion Day over here there was a monster celebration for the Canadian corps at one of the villages a short distance behind the line The majority of Canadian celebrities at present on this side of the pond (out side of yours truly, who was detained on duty at the battalion orderly room) were In attendance Among the num- 0:ber 0:number were Sir Robert Borden, Sir Ed ward Kemp, the Duke of Connaught, Sir Arthur Currie, a quartette of Div- 0:isional 0:Divisional commanders, and whole plat- 0:oons 0:platoons of Brigadier Generals and Staff Officers, and what surpassed In at- 0:traction 0:attraction the whole show of red tabs and gold braid, a party of Canadian nurses Speeches and the

you will have heard before this reaches ou that Harold Gaetz is on his way back to Canada He was invalided from France with pneumonia Lieut J B Corlcy has bis old rank of Captain back again He is at pres ent on leave to Ireland I notice that the Y M C A in France has come in for considerable criticism from some Ontario war veterans' as soclation All I can say Is that if a vote were taken among the combat ant units of the Canadian Corps, the result would be a unanimous verdict that the YMCA was the best least expensive and most successful In stltution for the benefit of Canadian soldiers in

Abstract: Like most western towns and villages, the town of Rosetown grew out of the surrounding community. In most aspects of its life there was nothing unusual. It started late, mushroomed quickly and passed through the usual vicissitudes of frost, drought and depression common to prairie settlements. Yet it differed from many less fortunately placed towns, in that it suffered no serious setbacks from its infancy to its maturity. Crop conditions varied, war took its toll, depressions occurred, but Rosetown was able to emerge from each ordeal not entirely unscarred, but stronger and with a characteristic spirit which has made the town known throughout the province. We shall see that two factors seem to have been instrumental in this development; one was the acci­dent of good wheat growing land, the other was the initiative and com­munity spirit of the first settlers and business men.

The records in this accession consists of records related to the burial of service personnel from both the First and Second World War and are grouped into six different series. Containers 1 to 38 hold applications for the burial of ex-CEF personnel to be buried in Canada or the United States with a military marker supplied by the Government of Canada. These applications were made to the Directorate of Records in the Department of National Defence. Containers 39 to 144, are known as the 'Black Binders' and serve as a register of death and location of the body or memorial, serving primarily as a death certificate and register of burial for those serving in Belgium, France or the United Kingdom. The Directorate of Records created and maintained these registers in Ottawa. Containers 145 to 238 are known as the 'Brown Binders' which focuses on the circumstances of death (if available) with particulars of the initial grave site, if known. The Records Office of the Ministry of the Overseas Military Forces of Canada created these records from information received from the field. Containers 239 to 274 are ledgers covering the death and burial of military service personnel in Canada and the United States during the First World War and afterwards. These ledgers were created and maintained by the Directorate of Records. Containers 275 to 278 are ledgers covering groups killed in the First World War not described in any of the above mentioned records. These include those lost at sea; members of the Siberian Expeditionary Force; enemy aliens interned by Canada; and miscellaneous personnel of the CEF and the Royal Canadian Navy. Containers 279 to 302 are for Second World War Service personnel killed in Canada, including personnel involved in the British Commonwealth Air Training Programme. The records were maintained by the Directorate of Records.

À l'époque du tournage de ce film, sir Sam Hughes était redevenu simple député d'arrière banc. Son ancien ministère était dirigé par Albert Sam Edward Kemp. Cependant, le camp de Valcartier, son plus authentique succès, constituait dorénavant un élément essentiel du réseau des infrastructures militaires canadiennes.
At the time this film was made, Sir Sam Hughes was once again an ordinary backbencher. His former department was being run by Albert Sam Edward Kemp. Camp Valcartier, his most genuine success, had however become an essential part of the Canadian military infrastructure network.
