Thos Leech.

It was about the tea hour and my engagement for the 100th Prince of Wales's Royal Cafladian Regt., at Shornclific Camp on January 10th, 1859, its first set of colors As an expression of loyalty and love for the mother country, this regiment was formed fn Canada in 1 at the time of the Indian Mutiny: While stationed at Aldershot in 1872 the regiment iad the honor of being called up to London to take part in the national thanksgiving ceremony for the Prince's recovery.
