HE son of a distinguished 'soldier, for his father was Lieut-Genera! Henry Meade Hamilton, C.B. -- Genera) . 'Sir Bruce Hamilton has probably seen as much active service 'as any officer now holding high com- mand at the front--if not more. He first commission as Lieutenant in the Bast Yorkshires a5 long ago as 1877; and since then he has "'put in" nearly forty years of His first campaign was in Afghan- istan in 1880, and it is sald that it is one of the greatést regrets of his life that be missed sharing in Lord Robert's famous march to har. But, though the young officer was not afforded much chance of personal distinction during the war, he, nevertheless, did good work. "A good soldier does not bother whether he. wins medals or gets his name into the newsbapers: but he does his duty and fights whenever he can," he is reported to have said once. Fame has come to him, and his' name has appeared In the news- papers a good many times since those early days, simply because he always has done his duty, It was in the advance on Benin in 1897 that Lieutenant-Colotel Bruce Hamilton was first given a real op- portunity of proving the stuff he was made of. After the massacre of Benin he made the famous march through the bush on the black capi- tal at the head of a mere handful of men hastily gathered together, and in the teeth of seemingly insurmount- able obstacles and against thousands of savages, who were all the more formidable because they clung to cover and chose to fight by treachery and cunning rather than in the open. When far from support and still distant from his goal, the water sup- ply failed. Many a commander would have retreated, for slack of water in that burning African clim- ate threatened to be more deadly than an armed 'foe, but Bruce Ham- ilton made up his mind promptly. "We must go on!" was his order. Every man who could be dispensed with was left behind, and. all super- fluous baggage was cast aside in order that nothing should impede an 'even swifter march. Then, waterless, daring death, but resolute, the tiny force went on against an enemy who could: have outnumbered it by fifty to one. had they been given time to bring up all forces. But that was just what Bruce Hamilton did not give them a chance to do. - "If he slept, no one knew when it was," said one of the force, "and whenever the Beni show- ed half a sign of their presence there was fighting, and he was in the thick of it. We got through all right, and avenged the massacre, mostly, I think, because we couldn't well have done anything else with such a or," He was a lieutenant-colonel aged forty-two, with close on twenty years' experience of war in many parts of the world, when the great Boer war broke out in 1899. He had no part in the earlier operations-- and disasters--but his name began to loom large in the operations after Lord Roberts assumed command. It was then, too, that he first served under Lord Kitchener. He had not been one of the original "Kitchener's disciples," for he had not shared in the Omdurman campaign: but the grim, silent tireless chief of the staff must have found him a man after his own heart. There was always some- thing coolly methodical - and thor- ough about his work which must have inspired the He during the war, and he never let himself or his men in for a disaster. It was Bruce Hamilton who main- ly frustrated Botha's last desperate attempt to invade Cape Colony, and thereby proved himself a worthy op- of the great burgher Com- mandant-General. It must be con- fessed that there were Rritish of- cers in those days who were always in a terrible hurry, always dashing | wildly across the veldt, and yet, somehow, never accomplishing any- thing in particular. Bruce Hamilton Was never noticeably in a hn: . FETTER 4 Eh doh Handa- i to ni ; It Has Contributed Half of Canada's An inspiring tale of the gallant that western part in in the war is told in an article by Mary Synon in Seribner's "Manito in three is an extraordinarily e of eligibles for "service men of the country. Us. 'w more than 99,000 aries, but of men--that has set omt with the zeal of crusaders upon a journey that makes the Anabasis of the army of Cyrus the Persian a child's wandering." British Columbia, we are told, has sent more men to the war than any other division of the British Empire. The little town of Wallachin, on the Cariboo Trail, has contributed forty- seven soldiers out of its sixty-seven eligible citizens, Vancouver, with a population of 1¥0,000, gave 10,000; Prince Rupert went even higher; but Edmonton has apparently surpassed all the cities of Canada in patriotic sacrifice, for from her 'population of 60,000 Edmonton has sent more than 9,000 fighting men out with the bugles. In accoynting for this remarkable response of western Canada to the call to arms, the writer says: "In the time while England's en- trance into the war hung in the bal- ance eastern Canada, except French Quebec, swung toward a policy of upholding England in any possible contingency. The West of Canada, un-English in sentiment, opposed the idea. Then ' Germany entered Belgium, The West blazed with bea- cons of anger. Western Canada went to war, not because of any so~ called 'colonial' loyalty to England, but from a desire to avenge the in- vasion. The old-time Western idea that no man should stand idly by while the big fellow strikes his little neighbor has been the motive that took the farther provinces to war." Honoring the Sabbath, On one occasion Lord Strathcona took with him to Scotland on Satur. day night a yohng secretary, with whom be was personally unacquaint-: ed. On Sunday morning he planned to answer a number of pressing let- ters, largely dealing with his various charities, so as to catch Monday morning's mail.' The secretary ob- jected to working on the Sabbath, saying he had never dome so. (?) For a moment Lord Strathcona seem- ed disconcerted. Then he sald, quiet- ly: "Say no more about it, Go and take a walk up the glen." The young man spent the whole day walking about enjoying the scen- ery and retired weary and footsore. Promptly at midnight, when he was wrapped in the soundest slumber, he was aroused by a thunderous knock at the door. He sprang out of bed, and encountered Lord Strathcona, taper in hand, and a winning smile on his face. "Come, Mr. Blank--the Sabbath is now over, and we must make haste with, those letters, you know, so as to catch the morning mail." By dint of incessant industry the morning sun had not risen very high over the vi of Glencoe when the letters were finally despatched, and Mr. Blank, a sadder and a wiser man, once more sought his couch to snatch a couple of hours repose before breakfast, Goes Home to Work.
