W. H. Floyd in Command. The second battalion to leave Bar- riefield camp for Valeartier pulled out at noon on Wednessay amid cheers from the comrades who were being left behind, The 139th Battalion, commanded by Lieut-Col. W. H. Floyd, has gone and a feeling of re- gret at the 'loss of seach a splendid body of men has spread over the camp. The 139th is a battalion that is commanded by one of the most ef- ficient staffs in the district. Col. Floyd has been very particular about his choice. On Tuesday morning, Col. T. D. R. Hemming, Commandant, held an inspection with Lieut.-Col. W. J. Brown and Lieut-Col. 8. A. Thompson, G.8.0. The battalion was put through the most difficult of battalion movements It did splen- didly, however, and only complimen- tary remarks could be heard of its behaviour. The 139th was organized last fall in Northumberland county, the small- est county in Ontario. It has been said that the battalion was recruited in the smallest area in Canada, and as a result only the most advanced methods for recruiting could be used. Registration and the individual card system for every eligible man was used to good advantage, and an ex- ceptionally fine body of men. was brought together. Since coming to Barriefield the 139th has been even better in its training than the others, and on ev. ery inspection proved that phenome- nal progress was being made. It is to be regretted that a splendid start been broken into by the order to g Valcartier. However, like good soldiers the men have been con- tent to do as ordered, and though each and every one wearing the 139th uniform regrets sincerely the fact that the change to Valcartier has been" ordered, he is satisfied : that "those higher up" are doing it for the best. has to a -- 155th Has Three Bears.
