col bollantyne dbo continued from last week pcksonautica colonel kirns- equitation tliere were many noncommlssloned officers in the regiment during colonel kern period of command who were iualllled having attended the in antry school of tattruetlon in one company there were four and of these my thoughts turn back to corporal bob lindsay a very competent youngs ter who afterward became a regular and who went to uie boer war in the ranks of the uanehester regiment bob was killed during the siege of ladysmllh in natal and was burled by the boers it is said that fame keeps a scroll on which she engraves the names and deeds of all such tieroes as bob it would be better to say that she pub lishes a dally newspaper the succeed ing issues overspreading one another with the latest the only one legible and the only one in which the busy world is interested and bar the record in the orderly room of the man chester and other imperial regi ments there is tittle trace of the sac rifice of those men who followed duller and white at a time when this old empire seemed to rock at the founda tions such is fame i such is life and it u an interesting speculation as to how much thought will be given to the sacrifices of the recent war when time has ticked off another thirty years another of thoae iioncommlssjon edofflcer luminaries was charlie thompson who like lindsay began his uultary career at that time but charlies destiny was kinder and while he served in the boer war too he es caped with a wound he became an in structor in the permanent force and is now colonel thompson of the sslst united slates infantry stationed at rochester nv sergeant john reddy was another and to his ability as an instructor reddy added that of marksmanship and his skill brought much honour to the halton regiment in this category was harry kurti of burlington who during those years was colour sergeant as well as a marlumen whose name is written into the records of the ontario rifle as sociation i remember the names of sergeant porter sergeant armstrong sergeant lever and many others who were very much in the picture in those days for the drilling of the companies was to a large extent entrusted to the n co and the officers stood about with that air of detachment which u the badge of ell the tribe of british officers in the late nineties came general hutton to replace herbert in the com mand of the canadian uuitla and i remember him as s martinet who placed an overwhelming value on the importance of saluting at church parade he mounted a data after the service and addressed the division on the importance of saluting calling it the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace dis cipline that is the wrong attitude for the salute is really a fraternity sign and token given by brotherslnarm and as binding on the officer as it is on the private it should be considered a privilege for one soulier to salute an other and the salute should be re turned u regularly u it is given i remember saluting lord roberta when in africa and he brought his hand to his helmet in return in exactly the way prescribed in the drill book there is but one form of salute for officer as well as private all of which is by the way and what i want to impress 1 that church service u no place to in troduce such matter as saluting ocneral hutton afterwards had a good record in africa but not when in command of the canadian force for he rolled utterly in hi estimation of tlie strength and temper of the cana dian who la not broken to saddle and spurs he afterwards reorganuted the australian forces and made a gooa job of it according to report and i sus pect that the hot fires of canadian ex perience tempered htm to the degree riecessary to engrave efficiency on uie metal of that fine aword of the empire the unitary force of australia colonel william kerns however is uie outstanding personality or that time and to my mind the embodiment of all the soldierly qualities that make for leadership during the recent war there were many termes coined descriptive of the various types of officer one of uiese being a glorified sergeant uajor und nurnclent force of irwmnlliy to carry them through another term wan a ntibllmatrd orderly room clerk applied to that lyive which will quotr ktnn reutila- tloiur nrul order and court martial iroceedure with the fluenry of un one tlonrer und whom dally movement nficllate between hla orderly room ami hln tent and who in as great a stranger il regiment in ute field as he in well known to tlie malefactor of the regiment who omtemblo dally for or derly room under the caressing tone or tlie semeant major such was not kern far even had the halton regi ment been deluged with tlie shower of reporu and document that made the life of tlie oversea colonel almost un bearable he would have had sufficient organizing ability to take core of till element by proxy giving him time to be with the regiment in the great out door nor did he make gesture to popu larity he burned no incense on the hrine of that most fickle aoddewi but he at all time commanded the respect of hi regiment because he kept hi distance and because he never got tlie regiment into any alt uatlon physical or otherwise from which lie could not extricate it he looked well when in command of tlie regiment though hi horse was always a problem to him and to us for we were always speculating on his chanees of surviving tlie many strug gle between horse and rider which took place at the head or tlie column a the regiment assembled at the close of ute days work in column and uie band played as if they were partici pating in fame initio it ion ceremony at which the commanding officer was the candidate the trombones rroddlmr away at the ribs or the orse and tlie other munlclan blow lngn i the height of their ambition wa iohsvpurate the colonel from hi mount or falling that to blow horse and rider out to sea there were times when it looked as if the colonel like bassanlo would make a swan i ike end fading in music but he was never thrown and in those exhibitions of grit and tenac ity we saw a commanding officer aftet our own heart and one capable o leading the regiment no matter hou rough uie way as a sequal to tlie above paragraph on strenuous equitation i shall de tail the event that wax the climax of the days work in uie field and the one to which we in the ranks looked forward with the keenest interest not without a sense of anxiety in this case i shall use the colonel in tlie abstract as it applied to all the commanding officers in the division a well as to colonel kerns and all his successor in office till the advent of the sam brown belt and sword ncabbard made the art or roturnlnp sword on horseback a matter or lit tle moment the regiment ha closed to quarter column with the band on the direct ing flank and thank heaven for it silent closing one side or port of it of the area in front uie red coated phalanx of the york rangers closes another and on the reverse hank the line of tents the remaining one and completing the quadrangle in which the third degree is to be exemplified with uie commanding officer the candidate though sometimes he wo accompanied by hi adjutant or hb second in command both of whom were also mounted the regiment i told to stand at ease and they do the commanding officer then endeavors to return hi aword and this simple movement is simple when the officer is girded with what is known as tlie sam brown belt but with the sword and sling of the earh days it presented a problem compared with which uie hunt for uie keyhole following a wild party or the search for a handkerchief tn the elusive po cket of a swallow tall coat were simple arithmetic at the first movement or the sword the horse infers that some thing terrible l about to happen to him and he acts accordingly rearing plunging sidestepping while the commanding officer searches for the mouth of the scabbard with the point of uie sword holds like grim death to the curb rein and endeavour to keep his spurs out of the side of the frantic animal during which time the regiment holds its breath and thonk ood that it is an infantry and not a cavalry outfit thank heaven hes made it but the rinal test is still to come the first round has been uoti by the comman ding officer but the horse comeii prancing into the centre of the ring for tlie second fall out the officers t tlie captain of the front company clicks his heels take two steps forward and bring hi sword with a flourish to hi chin and then down to the salute the point thereof missing the nose of tlie horse by a few inches and the battle i joined again and continued as rein forcementa continue to arrive in the person of other officers who perform the same salute in the same way the anscl with the flaming sword who expelled adam from the garden of eden could not liave been s more terrible apparition than these officer presented to that poor horse who but a few days before was peacefully graz ing knee deep tn hi own meadow or pulling a rubber tired buggy into same sleepy little village later the salute was given by all the officerhjn unison some command ing officer starting the custom with the thought that if he had to take poison it ucre better to take it at one swallow in this case he braced himself and waited for the zero hour when the of ficer on the right uave the time all coming to the salute together it was always a struggle in those days for the horses were seldom if ever broken but the colonel usually won alter which he led i he procession of officers to the ante room of the mess to recche congratulation from the ladles on hi superb equitation a well a restorative from the hand of the mesa
