Offices at Trenton, Belleville, Peterboro, Tweed Dial 5-1121 Forme -- IN GERMANY Canadian Army Manoeuvres By BETTY HILL Canada Review Correspondent HAMBURG -- Since I last wrote this column from Soest, Canadian troops have been on the move in what has been their biggest train- ing program since the Brigade ar- rived last November. They are dug in around the Saltau-Luneberg area. Already units have complet- ed exercises on company and bat- talion level. They have tried out their modern weapons and found them satisfactory. They have been visited by the Chief of the General Staff in Ottawa, General Sim- monds, who praised their efficien- cy under the direction of the Bri- gade Commander, Brigadier W. A. B. Anderson, their final They are spending week engaged in "Exercise Com- monwealth III" against the Brit- ish 7th Armoured Division. After that the main body of the Brigade returns to Soest. Members of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery will be away a little longer as they leave directly after '"'Common - wealth III" for Munsterlager for firing training with the British 11th | with whom | Armoured Division, | | they are affiliated. Recént weeks have proved that the Canadian soldier is happier when on active training. I have visited them in the field, bounced my way over rough sandy coun- try in a jeep, dumplings under the trees, crawl- ed into pup tents to see how they ihave established themselves and have found them happy and heal- thy and hard at work.

"If the boys are missing the sights of Hamburg, they aren't complaining about it." staging mock battles in the field supported by tanks and artillery. The local rman population are apparently unconcerned while reat Centurion tanks own the roads and across the fields. This has been a training ground for years, for the Germans 0! and now for NATO forces. So there is nothing unusual in the sight of a camouflaged jeep tearing along a country road, look- ing like a small moving bush; or steel-helmeted troops with fixed bayonets crawling along the cover of barns and chicken coops. The German children enjoy themselves hugely while the Canadians are on manoeuvres. I might add, do the Canadians! SPEEDY AND CONCISE The Brigade group is now trying out the efficiency of a great jig- saw of communications which is Actually, it hasn't been all hard | making contact between various work and no relaxation. Various units have chartered buses and taken groups into Hamburg. Mem- bers of "Easy" Battery, 2 RCHA, under command of Major S. A. Mooney, MC, of Winnipeg, had a hectic afternoon in Hamburg. The following day ajoiber bus-load of boys from the 2nd battalion Roy- al 22nd Regiment, spent the day here. Other units have taken trips to Belsen, where the great stone monolith is witness to the atroci- ties that were committed in the horror concentration camps of the war, In the evenings, the boys can go to Lunenberg, a few kilometres away. Mostly, however, they are dog tired by the end of the day | and a tent and a sleeping bag seem pretty good companions. 1 saw the first of a series of ex - ercises ' known as "High Gear" units speedy and concise. Much of the tribute for this modern net - work goes to 21-year-old Signals officer, Lieut. Peter Sutton, of London, Ontario, and Sgt. Major Roy Tournay, of Hamilton, w ho moved into the Soltau area with a small detachment of men a week before the arrival of the brigade group and commenced laying line and cable. Brigade Headquarters can main- tain continual contact with Soest by means of a telephone hook-up through the nearby eity of Mun- ster.
