Walsh, a little officer only five feet four inches in height, was at camp headquarters on Saturday.

Walsh believes that there are many in this district who have been rgjected by the medical nature's handicap and here is an op- portunity for them to get into a short' suit of khaki which for the present is nly issued in Camp Borden dis- trict. : 'dn ~the Bantam Battalion about : seyenty-five per cent of the men are froth Yorkshire and Lancashire im |.
