an evening dress for teat by edgar a quest in halton rifles by col ballantyne di o continued from last week reveille in 1m1 there are many insututlotts camp life but none so colourful reveille in civil life one sometimes hears the expression come day go day ood send bunday a phrase that re the last word in colourless ienoe a tedious sequence of to morrow and tomorrow and tomorrows to the last syllable of recorded time with no punctuation marks and utile interest the soldiers day in camp however is not permitted to degenerate into a monotonous series of revolving duties for even if one day was a duplicate of the day previous there is sufficient variety due to the emphasis placed on tha so called bution calls revllle retreat and pint and last post rep resenting in order dawn sunset and nlshtfau each regiment in turn takes over the camp duties provides the slain guard at camp nteadqusrters supplies the duty band and the camp pioquet as well as a field officer under whose supervision these duties function in short takes over the retponsiblllty as guardian of the good order of the camp as well as custodian of the many tndltlons so dear to the heart or the soldier and which add so much spirit to ullltary camp life the regiments vie with each other tn their efforts to make their tour of duty a record of smartnau of ualn guard and pioquet and duty band and this competition and these punc tuations add their touch or colour no matter how gray the day uany memories linger of that oe tobar camp in ih1 bit none so vivid ly as that first reveille following i sound sleep on the hard surface of mother earth with a iharpornered box called a knspeack for a pillow the word from the french verb to awaken has as many recollections as it has corrupted pronuncutlons and to some it means nothing but gun fire at or about sunrise aa devoid of poetry or romance as the sound of an alarm clock or the factory whistle that summons to work six days out of to some it recalls a kick in the ribs from the tent oceporal in response to the raucous voice of the orderly ser geant aa he summoned the sections to roll call in the wet grass of the par ade oround to others the wwutlnn of snoring and the beginning of yawn ing as the occupants of the tent dug into the cwigtomeration of equipment and boots about the tent pole for a pair that would fit to the horses in the transport lines it probably meant nothing more than water hay oats but reveille means something more than all this if one possesses a spark of the divine fire that is called imag ination and most of us do under its spell x have known two officers tent mates who spent a round hour preparing for breakfast before the slightest word or gesture was given that indicated a knowledge of the others existence it is a greet institu tion a ceremony that is performed with all the dignity and solemnity of a religious rite and as its high priest it has the sergeant of the ualn guard and to assist him there are many acolytes including the duty band a gunner from the artillery the buglers of the regimental or quarter guards as well as the guards them selves all of whom make their eontri button to the reosptlon that greets the arrival of another day ttjeoretlcally it means sunrise but in reality an arbitrary hour about sun rise set by the divisional staff and this year the hour was early and the regiment stood in its greencoata shivering at roll call long before the first rays of the sun had gilded the the roof of old port ulsslssaugua as the poet has it we helped hyperion to his horse but the stage is set for reveille the duty band has been euoinuned and has moved to the edge of the camp the sergeant of the ualn guard is studying the operations of the sec ond hand of his wrist watch the gun ner from the artillery is loading the r and all the buglers are standing front of their respective guards tipping their oold mouth pieces and emitting those premonitory sounds whereby buglers have revealed their position and intention since the days when joshua and his host encompas sed the city of jericho pirel barks tha sergeant the gun ner twists tils body to the left and so pulls tha lanyard boom l goes the gun guard turn out yells the sen try of the main guard t ouard turn out yell all the sentries and the bug lers raise their instruments to their lips and send the echoes flying with the notes of the long reveille the guards scramble from their blanlmts and line up in front of their respective tents as if to fsce the tn- epection of the god of day in whose honour the flourish of bugles is being given before the reverberations of the gunfire had died away there another sound the six bests of tha drummer of the duty band who launched his band on the long inarch that traversed the whole front of tha camp a march that crossed the par ade ground of each of the twelve reg iments in turn and ended only at the gates of the compound that marked divisional headqusrters for a while tha notes of the music were lost in the ensemble of bugle sounds but aa that subsided the strains of the march became discern- able swelling louder and louder till they reached a glorious crescendo aa reeettod tad ware swejlowad in the misty distance on that cool oc tober mom in a little while holhlng waa heard but the regular up up of tha bass drum as regular as a metrotiome as the drummer beat out the cadence and regulated the time to one hundred and twenty paces to the minute they were pleylng the pride of the regi- itnent a march without a superior and which has since been adopted as the heglmenui march of the nth royal realment of hamilton aa the notes of the infantry reveille die away the trumpeters of the artill ery booted and spurred superior and aloof raise their insurumenta for why should the nightingale sing when every goose is eacklingf and send for their dulcet noteavtnelr contribution to the ceremony then floating back from across the niagara come the echo as the american trumpeters sal ute the new day and send out a mess age of welcome and greeting to their friends north or the river as the duty band crossed our parade ground a young soldier sat up with the ex- calmmation gee aint that wonder ful to which bit of enthusiasm an old timer replied not bad but wait till we are duty regiment and in that reply i caught my first glimpse of ks- plrit de corps the pride of a regi ment and learned that it is a native plant that springs up within a regi ment as naturally as the buttercups and golden rod that grace the mead ows in summer time under 1u impulse i have seen the population ok georgetown turn the key in the door and repair to the park to support 1u lacrosse team as it bat tled with its rivals and i have seen one half the spectators in a stadium rise with tumultuous cheering aa lu football team emerged through the archway to give battle to its tradition el college opponents then came the roll cell and after that the routine of meals duties and parades that trod upon one anothers heels so closely were they fitted into the short day between sunrise and sunset and all announced and ad vertised by the notes from the buglers any minutes that were available were dedicated to the work of polishing for thst was before the days of khaki and black belts and white helmeu had to be in order if they were to con form to the goregous appearance of the officers who turned out in full dress uniforms and the full dreu of a rifle regiment officer has no su perior and in the regiment during the nineties all the officers wore it and all the men wore cloth tunica of rifle green the regiment in those days i think hsd a very smart ap pearance and then there was colonel kerns about whom so much can be written and all his officers the sergeant ma jor and all his sergeants and in fact so many interesting personalities pass in review that i will have to fill my pen and postpone the review to other chapters continued next week
