col ballantyne oso continued from last week we tiy farewell to the regiment under colonel kerns with a sense of reluctance with feelings not unlike thou of the men encamped in ideal hill site overlooking the still wates who are ordelred to strike their canvass and move out in column of fourr along the rood to uncertainty and adventure we shall take many a backward look on those peaceful days in the nineties when the liver of time flowed along without a ripple on its surface to indicate the cataract to wards which the waters were lrrsit ably being drawn the cataract of the great boer war during these years nothing unusual happened unless we mention the potato battles with the 34th battalion which were frequent and violent and which caused much concern on the part of our orderly officers and the nightly sod repartee a gentle exercise in which the men amused themselves till the rythmic clang clang of the scabbard of the orderly officer sent all to cover and threw a blanket of si lence over the camp through which the hoarse voice of tho officious or derly sergeant penetrated like the roar of the bull of bashan the same orderly sergeant might be participat ing in the same nocturnal activities the next night but tonight he was dressed in a uttle brief authority and would play his part till the orderly officer dismissed him and left the camp in the care of sleep and the sentries of the quarter guard during the year ibm captain w p moore went to blsley as a member of the canadian rifle team duplicating the trip ten years later and coming within an ace of winning the kings pru the emblem of marksman su premacy in the empire but these will all be taken up in a separate chapter in which x plan to review the target practice of the regiment from the day of colonel chlsholm and colonel murray the latter an ardent rifleman who did much for the sport in the vicinity of biewarttown those men of the nineties were all too old when the war broke out in 1011 but x cant dismiss them without the reflection that the men who did go were standing on their shoulders and that had the storm broken six teen years earlier the bearded kerns could and would have taken a hal ton regiment overseas in which every man was a volunteer prepared to fol low his colonel wherever he led the men who went overseas in 10 h i the first detachment from the regiment as well as those who foll owed had the same hair trigger sense of fun and the same responsive ness to fair treatment as the men of the nineties any difference between them was external and chronological and an issue of khaki uniform and the calling in of a few years of time would have made them lndlstingulsh able as a type of those men of the nine ties i think of sankey morgan whom the humor of it was about the best thing to look for and whose many reactions and observations to events and personalities in those early days would fill a volume and as a type of the men who represented the regiment in 1014 x think of porky hoskins whose reactions were differ ent only because his environment was quite different either would have laughed in the face of death espec ially if he had succeeded in saving the life of a comrade but to our tale in 1808 major o 8 goodwill le was promoted to the command of the regiment and colonel kerns went to the reserve of officers to that umbo of oblivion wherein used commanding officers are parked and over which portals might well be in scribed the motto all hope abandon ye who enter here here the erst while commanding officer hangs quite out of fashion like a rusty mail in monumental mockery white the moth eat away at his once gorgeous uniform while tune embraces the new com manding officer with the barest of formal gestures to his retiring prede cessor but that is the way of the world the present eye praises the present object and in the relay race of life there is time only to clutch the torch from the hand of the spent runner who sinks exhausted whll all eyes follow the course of the torch as the fresh runner raises it into the night air and endeavors to make a new record both colonel kerns and colonel aoodnillle were men of great military capacity and either would have gone long way in the oreat war had he been alive and of military age but they were quite dissimilar in type colonel ooodwulle was more of the regular officer type the debonair beau babreur who perhaps would have been more at home at the head of a cavalry regiment colonel kerns was of that rugged sturdy type that one associates with the command of infantry battalions and the holding of passes of ther mopylae x liave never met an officer who so closely answered to my con ception of stonewall jackson major apnlebe was senior to major ooodwulle but he waived his senior ity in favor of his junior and during the administration of colonel oood wulle was for the moat part on de tached duty mi musketry instructor iliif now commundlna otnccr to ii u imtvrutlifiiablu efforts

whenever one ji inla of the halton regiment captain langton was from toronto nid had been couched in tho game on iiluyed by tho queens own rlfleti and umaton wan an innovator of the first magnitude and of course there was ome room for innovation certainly there was improvement along many i lues though mostly superficial nostly due to tho application of orasao and shoe polish and to the in- roductlon of mem uniforms and more ceremony connected with the jfneers mess langton had a great or ganising talent and when he left the regiment it was to organise the army service carps which was also an in novation in the militia and in this aervlco he accomplished wonders and wrought a great deal of comfort and srder to the camp at niagara he certainly stamped his personality jn the halton regiment though h mtlrlng efforts incurred a certain de- rrce of disfavour from the fundamen- allsts who resent innovation espec- ally when it is borne by a man from jutslde the regimental district there was much uicial activity ibout the regiment in those days itid at the annual dance at the queens royal the regiment was alwayi well epresented while the offlccm mess dinner was a function that would have been a credit to an imperial teglmcnt on garrison duty at home it b doubtful if any of the carps in iamp had more trophies of marks manship and these and the other de finitions made the moss a place of rare attraction and the gathering that colonel ooodwulle led to dinner to the strains or the roast beef of old england one or much colour and not toon forgotten the band was under bandmaster w 11 crass of georgetown and this gen- leman did much to keep up that end it a time when every effort was be ing lived up to rather than on the reputation established by the corps under colonel kerns but times were changing and changing fast men were becoming tcarce and bandsmen were hard to hold in a small place when induce ment was beckoning with both hands from the larger industrial centres however mr cross kept his band up to itandard and moreover added a touch of dignity and courtesy to the position that made contact with him and his oand a source of pleasure and satis faction the paymaster ot this time was major barber who had served from hc dayi or the fenian raid and who is too well remembered within the regiment and the county to call for more than a passing comment although not a combatant officer in these days he exercised a consider able influence and served as a sort or balance wheel to the mechanism restraining the actions of the impet uous to within due bounds while at the same time his own successful car eer as a soldier as welt as a business man was a living challenge to all with whom he came in contact his assistant paymaster sergeant c c roe was well known in the reg iment at that time and for man years after and before his work in preparing the pay neet being as flawless as was his loyalty and kind ness to all ranks within the regiment whetlier officer or other rank during a long service i can recall no friendship more priied than that of sergeant roe and no service to the regiment more meritorious when i became adjutant x was in constant contact with htm and his department and he took care of many duties that were not of that department and handled many problems with that sympathetic understanding and tact which are the possession of few offic ers and fewer noncommissionedof ficers reverting to the army service corps of which joe langton was the organiser and first commanding of ficer x am certain that this branch of the service germinated in the mind of our own major l qrant who recog nised in the issue of stores and rations great deal of lost motion which could be eliminated by the use of horse transport together with a corps or especially trained experts this idea took shape and crystallized into the organization of the army service corns fallowing an interview between general otter and the major the general being quick to see the advan tages of tlie majors plan so the halton regiment might well be called the parent of that useful organization which did no much for the division and also the training school of its first commanding officer joe langton however the regiment turned out many other commanding officers and in the list that follows of the of ficers of the regiment during the lat ter part of colonel aoodwllllea time there are twelve officers wh6 reached the rank of lieutenant colonel though many of them in other corps lt col os good wlllle commanding major w p appelbe
