there were many camps in canada during the war niagara borden barryfleld pettswawa portage to prairie and a host of other divisional andv camrn but there was but one national camp and that was valcartier which lay about fifteen miles to the west by north of old quebec in the valley of the river jacques cartler not far from the escarpment of the lnurentlde hills here it was that the whole twelve tribes assembled with joshua at their head and here it was that these tribes from every nook and corner of the dominion from too yukon to cape breton were hammered and tempered into the one sword that waa to be known as thoplrst canadian division if the picturesque valley of the jacques cartler was the anvil on which was wrought the first cana dian division colonel sam hughes lng the

wish to dlsturb the war on the reserve of officers and living at bigger saskatchewan the call was too strong for him to resist and he came east and secured a posi tion in the 58th battalion and filling this position he gave his life as so many of his brother officers and com rades have done in connection with that sojourn in georgetown 1 recall two fellows who turned up to enlist scotty

the painting was but a reflec tion of the deeper interest and love for the original which overlooked the greatest wnp of his life the mobilisation of the rsi re vision which was numerically stronger than the british army that welling ton had commanded in the peninsula or on the field of waterloo this first division might be called canadas stop gap force for tnere is a rlpflnate analogy between this division and the british army of regu lars who at that time were retreating nghting rear guard actions and cover- ling back at the rate of ten or twelve miles a day before a force that out numbered them ten to ani that re treat from mans and the defense of the gap at st jullen the following april were two of the great and de cisive features of the war and it is no disparagement to the british regular army of the retreat to com pare their service with that of the first canadian division of st julien but the detachment is still in billets at georgetown and valcartier repre sents the
