The present war gave the opportunity to bring a third battery into exist- ence and 'this was brought about through the recommendations of Uol, T. D. R. Hemming and Col. G. Hun- ter Ogilvie. hingstonians can thank these officers for the great amount of oot that they have brought the city y- their recommendations at different times. After the war is over and the dif- | fervent overseas brigades and battal- ions have been disorganized, Kingston will settle back to normal routine with the addition of a complete bat tery and at that one of the best in Canada. _~ SCORED | { GRAND.
