He welcomed the returned men, and wished them God-speed and prospec- ity to enjoy the fruity of the victory they had won, The toast of the evening wag that of "The 21st Battalion," proposed by W. F. Nickle, K.C., M/P., who said that it was like attempting the im- possible to do justice to such a toast. Time has flown quickly since August, 1914, and it is hardly pos- sible to realise that the batialion is at last home in our midst, flushed with the fruits of victory. King- stonians have regarded the 21st Bat- talion 'as peculiarly their-ewn. They have watched its development, its career and its successes all througly the war until the forces of the enemy were tiirown back. It was quite impossible, the speaker said, to say. enough of the battalion in the course of a short speech, but he wished to pay a tribute to the men who paid the supreme sacrifice in the ranks of the Zlst. It gave him great pleasure to Propose a toast to the 21st Battalion, and to couple with it the name of Lt.-Col.. Harry Pense, the commanding officer. Lieut.-Ool. Pense Cheered. Lt.-Col, Penve, in rising to pe- spond, was greeted with a storm of cheers. He said that he was no ora- ter, but that he 'esteemed it a high honour to respond to 'the toust of the 21st Battalion, with which hup- dreds of Kingstonians have been as- sociated during the past four years. He spoke of the origin and growth under Brig.<Gen. W. S. Hughes. Dur- ing the war men from all parts of Canada have served in the 21st, but it has always been peculiarly a King- ston unit. The 21st has never had a press agent, and all who were in- terested could read of its successes on the field. He spoke of the lonely cemeteries in France and Belgium, in which lie 'thirty officers and over eight hundred other ranks of the bat- talion. The toll has been a heavy one, but these niten laid down their lives in order that the cause might triumph. He wished to thank the people of Kingston for their warm reception of the unit, and especially the ladies for the part they had tak- en in providing the banquet. He called upon the men to give three cheers for the city of Kingston, which they did in true soldier fash- ion and made the armouries ring. Lt. Topping proposed the toast of the 21st Battalion Chub, and coupled with it the name of Brig.-Gen. W. 8. Hughes, whom he referred fo as "Old Bin." ' General Hughes, in responding, did 'great stress on 'the splendid esprit de corps of the 21st Battalion, and expressed the wish that this WOuld be perpetuated through = the club and never allowed to die out. Brig-Gen, V, A. 8 Williams, G.0.C., of M.D. No, 3, said that he had received a message from the hononable the minister of militia and defence, asking him to convey to the 21st Battalion a hearty greeting of This{, of the unit, and its work overseas! welcome 'on thelr seturn and of thanks for the part they had played in making the history of the Domin-~ ion of Canada, He maid that he wish- ed to add to that his own greetings and 0 assure the men of the bat- talion that he honoured and respect ed them, apd that his office door was open at all times to the returned soldiers. prm-- Presentaton of Medal A pleasing ceremony was perform- ed at the ¢ of the speeech-making, when Bnig.~Gen. W. 8. Hughes pres- ented the Military Medal to Sergeant] W. G. McCullogh, son of the care- taker of the armouries. He said that this was a signal honor for any man to be presented with this decora~ tion under the roof of his own home, and said vhat it was richly deserved. Sgt. McCullogh is one of the origin- al members of the 21st, and was transpont sergeant of the battalion. The event was a great success in every way. Too much credit cannot zations who took part in making it a success, and to the club for the splendid manner in which it was or- ganized. While to mention names would be superfluous, that of Lieut. George Grainger must be mentioned, He was business manager of the event, and carried it through largely through his personal efforts, The club desires to thank very cordially overy citizen Who subscribed to the fund and so helped to make the event possible. The following are the ladies' or- ganizations which ably assisted in making the banquet a success: The Richardson Chapter 1.O.D.E.; Nurses' Alumnhe; Salvation Army; Knights of Columbus; Sydenham Street Chuurch Ladies' Aid; St. George's Caf nodal Ladies' Ald; Brock Street urch Ladies' Aid; Cooke's church Ladies' Aid; "St. Andrew's church Ladies' Aid; Queen Street church Ladies' - Ald; Chalmers' Church Ladies' Aid. To these or- ganizations the thamks of the club are due. Will Take Ciuil Action. Chas.
