georges sq guelph 1 1520 est 30 yean m legion notes last months legionary had quite a lengthy article on a pro posed pllgriniag of legion mem bers to visit the battlefield of the 193945 war this would be mod elled along the lines of the vlmy pilgrimage made years ago by vets of 10141018 this time of course due to the larger scope of canadian operations in this war it would be a little more difficult for instance no doubt there are many who be sides visiting their particular battle area would like to visit places still remaining fresh in their memory the legionary explains that this time the various pilgrimages would have to be organized to vastly dif ferent places many would wish to go back to ialy to revisit naples or rome or maybe barp as weir as the scones of hard fight ing like ortona or those who saw service through france and holland would alsohie a huge area theyd want to cover v from normandy through to the lowlands to ger many with stopoffs in paris brussels and antwerp no doubt and of course we can think of a feu who would probably like noth ing better than just to get the lon don england area and start visiting old haunts a good many would no doubt head for sussex and surrey while some would be content to stay put in london itself and no doubt a few would have a yen to see the inde once ocain of the bunch of grapes and the lord shinh admiral at any rate we think that he planning of this trip would be terrific and will take many years before it achieves frui uon we imagine that out of a town this size there would be at leajt a small croup go nloni at least wp know of a rood many who would certainly try to mdke it wonder what the herald editor would think of sending 1 upciuil correspondent along we wonder what brunch u0 members and executive would think of setting up the nucleus of an orkitnizatton to handle gift parcels to any canadian troops local who are icnt abroad we think that at this particular time with some 350 troops already in korea and 10 000 more just about ready to go some place among them a number of local lads the branch could work out a plan to see the boys get the odd parcel because although the boys are still able to purchase anything they want without ration ing of one kind or difficulty of ob taining it yet we believe service pay is only around the 6872 per month rate and in case readers havent noticed that doesnt even buy a good sneeze these days also in the event highly probably at that o fan actual outbreak of war the nucleus of a community- wide organization all set to handle the sending of soldiers comforts would be all ready for action to finance the plan and we would suggest it embrace all local service men nxdt just legionnaires we dont think it would be necessary to use legion funds but institute the odd eollection from as many of the 400 odd members as would cire to gie ind the majority would with the two bank managers being ser vice men posiblyone or both of them would act as treasurer and on the iccounting end of it there uie not is jet more than a dozen or so bojb in the service from town so the job would not be a big one oi too costly the idea of course would probably be restricted to the lads serving abroad and should b all means include the rcn serv ing in the far east in this connection when talking the idea over with the editor he offered to send a free copy of the herald to every member of the special force from georgetown so better get the names regimen- uil number unit and po oddrcss in to the hfcrald office and just while wcretnlking about the news- japcr why not drop a line to the herald or to the writer telling of what s happening to you and your impressions of the things you see boys how about mike lorusso if he reads this sending us along a few lines from time to time anyway fellows think it over ind bring it up at the monthly meeting if you decided the parcel idea is a good one appoint a chair man and committee and let them get busy on the project wanted at the regular meeting this month the 201 mem bers who managed to turn out for the armistico day sc rvice plus the other 190 odd who didnt make jt how about it boys the meet ing only last an hour is always interesting and sandwiches are served later lets see you there tomorrow night thursday nov 23rd is the date boys so be on hand at 8 pmtm the auditorium talking to president bowman the other day we casually asked if he could think of anyone we left off the supper list last week he said no he felt certain we got them all but after comparing notes we find that we had two
