tquad mete wa a mat improvement if like afr artularlnd one meur v- erythlns with the rule of facts and fltruj oertsin it is that the chanse made for comfort with perhaps a gesture to camp eanltatlon but to my mind it took a treat deal of colour out of camp life as it unrulhed the eamp fires at the head of the com pany line and what is camp life without camp fires prtwldln over these camp fires were the company cooks with pwloeophy of life that 1 peculiar to cook in the army and whose cotuments and spec- uutlon on the service geiieralh was as reireshhig to the soul of the com pany as was the eorwoctlon from the camp dixie to the physical being of the men to whom the cook lines and atmosphere was a never endlnt source of attraction it is true that when the weather was wet and the wood would not bum and the dinner would not cook the cook lines were a good plaee to keep away from and the cook in his in- canutlons made many contribution to profane literature and any adverse criticism of the product of those dixies that gurcled away under his moble wand was m liberty that no man would take no not even the orderly officer the oaptaln mliht threaten to re- slfn who cares the colour sergeant muht revert thank god but the cook was potentate without a successor and one that every man in the com pany with a stomach must endeavor to propitiate and most soldiers have that necessary article of equipment to those of us who were very very good it was sometime given as great privilege to grill a steak at the sacred altar after the crowd hsd thinned out and what more wonder ful than a grilled steak with that slightly burnt wood test that 1 the peculiar property of steak grilled over a eamp fire then there was always something so sociable about those small ten mess- eight men sat down in a circle each man distributing the various articles of food and the utensils with in the sector described by his legs while be balanced the canteen filled with hot soup on one knee and at the some time contrived with considerable technique to keep his ammunition boots out of the butter and all the while he kept up his end of the table conversation which in the army is never allowed to lag for in the army there is a laugh around every corner and no shortage of material for the comments that ejnbraced everything from the wundering of the orderly sergeant to the fact that lieut boandso turned out on par ade with bis spurs on upside down those squad messes are the thing in africa each man marched with one eye on the ground as he searched the veldt for the tiny faggots not bigger than a lead pencil and which ha care fully tucked away tn his haversack in view of the supper he and hi mates would cook in the canteens and to which fire he was expected to make his contrilmition but the big mess tent changed all this and if it made for efficiency it was the efficiency of child restaur ants with all the unspeakable hubbub that comes from three or four hundred men in animated conversation and the acoompanlment of as many tin plates and as many tin cups all in action the whole contributing to the pande monium of noise that ceased as the men stiffened into attention at the sound of the orderly sergeant whistle and waited for the inevitable question from the orderly officer any com plaints and the inevitable answer none sir after this drama the men fell to and the noise was resumed x knew on officer in the old days who was filled with the spirit of re form and who when he became or derly officer addressed himself to the work of improving the messing oondl- ond particularly the quality of the rations and mens dinners a worthy cause and may his tribe in crease he started out on hi noon day in bpeetlon a little 1st heralded and announced by the orderly sergeant and the first object that met his eagle eye wo an orderly carrying dixie holt there yelled the officer to the orderly who halted while hi tongue no doubt clave to the roof of his mouth and hi mind turned over hi many sins and their possible pun ishment oct me a spoon i this was oddjssed to the sergeant who dived into a tent and reappeared with the utensil required the ctfflcer that aoup while the scared orderly tried hard to find hi tongue why damm it sergeant thats no better than dish water yes sir yes sir summered the recovered orderly that what it la sir- the offtcud then proceeded on its way while the orderly poured the story into the sym pathetic ear of the company cook whose roars of laughter assembled all the other cooks whence the story was served as a garnish to the evening meal in ail the mussits the big uess tent centralised the cooking under one head cook whose voluminous outline were usually en cased in a suit of white with a brim- less white cap oompleung the picture long cooking ranges ivpleoed the pic turesque camp fires and before this battery of stoves the sweltsflng cooks stewed in their own lord a they en deavoured to meet the requirement as laid down by the regimental dietician and duhuihed on the bulletin board within the uess tent all the peatry was takes away and all the phllouphy of the camp fjotf and pom m finite and all the good fellowthlp which is aiw lummln15 the corollary to hieiudng by nectlort i on active service them are no big i me tents and the men are all init iate of the grand order of army cooks and who will forget the braxler cooking in tin trends and the amaslug products garnished by leek from the gardens behind the lines who will forget the scene in the mil filne of madame farm house as lite boys assembled to purchase an egtf or cup of coffee and to practice on madame the lessons in prench from tlie books that guaranteed to teach that language in three lessons the tok fire and the squad me will alway be n part of active service rmd hie rcntralhted mess of permanent camps lit a poor substitute if one considered tlte colour lost in the ex- clianae man 1 a fire worshipper an inher itance from remote ancestry and he is also a cook though hi wife may think otherwise but in any case lie likes to catch or shoot his own game and to build a fire and watch it cook and then eat it on service he ha rull scope to all this and it is one of the great compensations for the rlg- uirs and hardship of service these facts were overlooked when innova- lon spread his canvass over the whole regiment and erected pine tables to which the various companies marched with lock step precision and all of this la just my opinion and it will in no way effect the messing situation which is now considered a great im provement on conditions as they were to an efficiency expert it is a great improvement to a psychologist who sonsiders the effect on the mind of the soldier and the social loss when the utile squad families take their meals out hi the great tabernacle where conversation is impossible with- out a nugaphone to him who places a national thunlaglvlng service for the dominion far the recovery of our gracious king george the fifth is under contemplation and is a mont worthy suttgestlon the kings pro- urcsu since his arrival at cralgwcll hoiifie sussex england has been such that lie is now able to take an interest in the u vents which occurred during the long iierlod or his itliias when hp was unable to read newstiapers or txt made acquainted with what was hap pening he is gradually beginning to pick up the threads of current event ills majesty also spend some time each day reading newapapers he is gradually assimilating all tliat transpired since he became seriously 111 but in order that he may not be unduly fatigued iho nrocenn is very slow the happine and morale of his men in the first place there is a decided loss but on active service there will never be big mess tents and in any case this is only my own grouch snd the big tent 1 now a landmark at the permanent camps that will not be moved and now for an attack on the offic ers uess as it was in those days when along with many other unimportant lieutenants i took my place at the mess table a long way down from the centre of gravity in those seat of the scornful which are fuled with the younger officers was assessed one doll ar per diem the government rations were sup plemented at the caterers expense by fruit at breakfast and a few other un important elements and during the strawberry season by strawberries we in the above mentioned seats could almost tell the rank of the offic er by the number of berries in the saucer a second lieutenant getting four a first six a captain eight and the mess president and senior officer a bountiful supply as befitted those with whom the caterer closed his con tract the caterer kept his eye on the puck on one occasion we of the scornful hsd up temerity to suggest that the officers might with profit run their own mess but the reaction wa such a frost that we never broached the sub- tect again that was a tender spot in the memory of the old timers and we learned that such a plsn hod been tried and that the caterer had de faulted in some or many ways and had cleaned the regiment out of the late as well as all of the crown der- iy and limoges chins we pondered these things in our heart for we rec ognised the impossibility of malting change when the sceptre of author ity was in the hand of the old guard who were like the burnt balm who dreaded the fire but we resolved to try our own system when the time came and it did when the first con tingent went to voleartler in the au gust of 1914 then we appointed one of our own omcers to supervise and organise our uess and the result exceeded all ex pectations the officer appointed was lieutenant oonover now the briga dier and he was given carte blanche and told to go ahead and he did us ing only the rations a prqylded by the government and a cook from thr ranks of the detachment one oliver we had many visitors from the coun ty during those days and they were weu satisfied with the hospitality and with the quality of the meals at salisbury we were forced again into the messing by a caterer and to all the officers of the pint division the memory of those meals with the unescapable brussels sprouts sup- planttng all the vegetables is a sad one moral have one of your own officers in charge of the mess and have a caterer from your own regiment one you can hang or replace if he does not make good and if colonel oonover wishes a recommendation as a uess president let him write to me when we went to the tercentenary celebration at quebec in ibm a part of the 3rd composite rifles we learn ed that other corps had troubles with their mess as welt as the hslton reg iment and to place the coping stone an a wall of uess troubles in which wo built much grouching some one on the last day walked off with all the chlnaware a stunt that caused some searching of heart and more search tog of pocket when the different offic ers received the bill for their share of the loss so much for messes officers and men but for troubles steer iway from the officers especially when it is a composlts officers mess continued next week mr j lockie wilson superin tendent or the
