whose name is inscribed on the monument, that of W. H. Nelles, I believe he died of wounds received at Bloemfontein. The 37th Battalion received a special distinction from her Majesty Queen Victoria, when the Regimental Band, then a fife, and drum band, received permission to have painted on their drums, the Royal Coat of Arras. Later the fife and drum band was discarded, and a Brass band was organised. I am not sufficiently informed to record the names of all Officers of the 37th, but here are the names as they come to my memory. Comnianding Officers: Majors: Lt. Col.Robert H.Davis David Thompson, Lt. Col. Robert L.Nelles John Rogers. Lt, Col.Andrew T. Thompson Scoble. Lt. Col.Edwy S.Baxter Andrew Williamson Lt. CoI.John Verth Edward T. Kelly Lt. Col. Gould Gary Vanloon, Lt. Col.Milton Martin William Weir. Adjutants: Paymasters: Captain John Tuck Michael Harcourt Major C, Vanloon Andrew Williamson Major W. Weir Quartermaster; Surgeons: Maj. C. Vanloon Dr. MacPherson Dr. Aiken Dr. Langrill Chaplain: Canon Piper. Company Captains: Andrew Williamson Robert L. Belles William Glenn William Ryan Alfred Goodwin William T. Sawle William Mussen John Robinson Rastrick B.M.Haney J.M.Johnston J. McDonald Roulston J. Clench B.Griffiths. I might mention that Major Andrew Williamson, who was buried at York, with Military honors was at the time of his death supposed to be the oldest volunteer Officer in the militia, having served continuously for 54 years. His Father was a veteran of the Crimean War, and his Son is a veteran of the first great war, holding the rank of Major. When the first great war broke out, the 37th, was laid away, so to speak, for the duration, and the 114th, was recruited in Haldimand. At the close of the war, and peace restored was demobolized, and the 37th, became active again. At this time it was merged with the 38th, Dufferin Rifles of Brantford. There are two Battalions. One under command of Lt. Col. VanSommerin, and one under command of Lt. Col. Brooks. THE 114th BATTALION, BROCK'S RANGERS The 114th, Battalion Brocks Rangers, was recruited in the County of Haldimand, for service in the great war in 1915 and sailed for overseas in October, 1916. Lt. Col. Baxter was commissioned to recruit this Regiment which he did in a surprisingly short time. Unfortunately for him he did not have the honor of leading it into action. Death deprived him of this his ambition, and he was laid away with military honors, in the Cemetery at Cayuga. The command then devolved upon Lt. Col.Andrew T. Thompson,
