One com-| pany of the famous Oné Hundredth | Regiment was recruited by Ensign | Charles Arkall Boulton," of Cobourg, then a lad of: sixteen, just through | his course at Upper Canada College. | Young Boulton was taken to Toronto | by, his fath8y, who 'made application | Governor-General. for one of the ensign's commissions for hid zon, | Sir Edmund regretted to say that a the commissions) Bad been a an away, but he promised should a vac- ancy occur to bear the Cobourg boy in mind. Most lads, under these circum- stances, would have sat down and waited. Young Boulton, however, | decided to take time by the forelock. He would recruit his men anyway vacancy. | Returning to Cobourg, he secured | the support of a friend of the family | who had some skill in playing on the | bagpipes, harpessed # team of his | father's horses to a big wagan, don- | ned an old-fashioned uniform >that had been dragged out of - som old | wardrobe, and set out through the | back country for the then village of | Success attended his | From Peterboro and | Lindsay he secured twenty men, | whom be marched into Cobourg and | thence conveyed by train.to Toron- | to. Later he got an ;additional twenty from another section of | One of Sir | Edmund Head's officers having | meanwhile conveniently dropped out, this sixteen-year-old recruiter ob- tained the coveted commission. The Ontario men were mobilized in Toronto, and then sent down to Montreal in batches. Early in June the regiment had been moved from Montreal to the Citadel at Quebec, and on June 17 Baron De Rotten- burg took over the command. The | following day the first draft, con- | sisting of three staff officers, two captains, six subalterns, and 450 non-coms. and rank and file, with af- | teen women and children, embarked | on board the Canadian mail steam- | ship "Indian}® sailing the next day | for Liverpool. It is related that on enlisting the | men of the One Hundredth had | | been outfitted with ancient uniforms | that had ceen service in the War of 1812. These they wore on arrival | in England, where their appearance | is said to have been very quaint and | curious. The antiquated garb was, howevér, soon replaced - with | modern 'uniforms, in which the fine | physiques of the men were shown off | to good advantage. They were sta- | tioned first at Shorncliffe Camp, and | here early in 1859 they were present. | ed with their colors by the Prince of | | Wales, this being his first official act | as an officer of the British army. | The maple leaf was embroidered on | the colors as a special mark of dis- | tinction. Apart from -a continuance of "the | name Royal Canadians and the use | } { of the maple leaf as their regimental {in emblem, the corps has lost much of its Canadian character in the inter- val. When the territorial system of designating regiments came into | force the Hundredth became the first battalion of the Prince of Wales Leinster Regiment, and such it re-| mains to the present day. Officers and men still observe some of the old-| ceremonies, such as the celebration | of Dominion Day. ~ Fight for London Pass. How two Edmonton soldiers fought each other in order to decide | the question as to who should get the | credit of having captured a German, | so that the victor would have a | chance of getting a pass to London, | is related in a letter received recent- | ly. The names, for obvious reasons, cannot be published. | "A German," the letter says, "gave | himself up to two of our fellows, but | that started an argument as to who should have him. They took off | their coats and agreed to fight. . The winner was to take him and tell the | 0.C. what a big fight he had had to take him, and in this way he would get a pass to England. The prisoner had to stapd and look on while they | fought, but finally the bigger of -fhe | two won. . He got his pass all right." | Anothét instance showing the willingness of the Germans to accept | ! capture is related as follows: { "Two Scots were bringing a bunch | of German prisoners along in a trench, when a shefl came along and buried the two of them. The pris~| opers, instead of trying to get dway, | turned around, dug the Scotsmen | out, handed them, their rifles, and all | oved on as if nothing bad hap- pened." Indians Raise New Issue, ' Major Willlam MacVicar of the 149th Battalion, who has been in Sarnia from Camp Berden to inves- tigate the cases of more than a bun- dred absentees from camp without leave, is Baid to have an extremely vexing problem on his hands in so far as concerns the fifty Iidians from Walpole. Island, who, it is declared, are planning a revolt against return~ ing to their battalion. A technical question of law is in- volved.
