Short History of l4th Canadian Field Battery R.C.A. Mobilized in Cobourg, Ontario, on the outbneak of the Second Great War, the 14th Field Battery was formerly the antillery unit of the Midland Regiment, and has a meritonlous record both in peace and war. Finst church pan- ade following&nobilization was held in Coboufg in October, 1939. In May, 1940, the unit left Co- bourg for Petawawa, and in the summer of the same yean sailed for Europe aboard the S.S. Emn- press of Australia. They dis- embarked in England on Aug. 27, and went directly to Leipzig Bar- racks near Aldershot. Aften a funther period of training, they moved to the south coast as de- fence tnoops, stationed at Rye, Hastings, Brighton, Bognornegis near Southampton and other points. Thirty-two volunteers from the l4th Field Battery took part in the historic Dieppe Raid. Ahl of them, with the exception of one off icen, lost their lives. On July 7th, 1944, the battery landed on the beach-head in France, and proceeded with oth- en troops of the 2nd Canadian Division to Caen, where they en- countered thein first beavy fight- ing. From here they passed tbrough the Fallaise Gap to Ant- wenp, and through Belgium and Holland to Germany. Stiff ne- sistance was encountered at the Schelde Estuary in Holland, and at the Reeswald and Hochwald Forests in Germany. Fighting was also heavy at the Kaîkar Road, at Xanten, and at thein final point in Genmany, Olden- burg. Most of the original battery had neturned under the various categories before the final sailing of the entîre unit aboard the S.S. Queen Elizabeth on Oct. 21, 1945. Officen Commanding the return- ing unit was Major Jack Drewry, D.S.O., who enlisted in Septem- ber, 1939 in Cobourg, and went overseas with his men as a lieu- tenant. BSM Edward Blodgett returned before the final unit, leaving bis men in change of BSM H. W. Nelson, of Toronto. QUESTIONS ABOUT COUPONS Q.-The clenk took two meat coupons for one pound of sausage.
