' Blair Ripley, D8.O.,, C.B.E, O.C., of the 1st Battalion Railway Troops, whose plendid leadership, untiring indus- try and pardon pride in his crack railway construction unit, made his name to be a revered one among the men who had the good fortune to ome under his command. A quiet and reserved man, he has that big- ness which comes from 'big under- takings, As a C.P.R. engineer, the Lethbridge viaduct, and the North Toronto grade separation, were pre- war testimonials to his skill and ef- ficiency. Twenty-seven months of un- remitting work in France and Bel- gium have enhanced that enviable re- cord and experience in supervising the laying of steel and the erection yf bridges. "Railways are the arteries of mod- ern warfare"----this fact was early re- ognized by i Eric Geddes, and miles of light guage railway track was laid with the rapidity of spread- ing a stair carpet, but it only par- tially relieved the congestion. Broad gauge railways were urgently re- quired to bring troops and military supplies to the rail heads In the autumn of 1816, the 1st Battalion, C.R.T., worked on the Somme, build- narrow guage, at Maricourt, le Forel Farm, Rouge, and Bouchevesnes Early in the follwing spring the German vielding to pressure from the British, evacuated Bapaume and Peronne, leaving a vast tract of wild- erness in their wale, It did not seem possible to lay heavy steel on this indescribable waste of mud, and in- terminable shell torn region Could it be accomplished? Was it worth the tremendous effort? There was a diversity of 'opinion and many offi- cers in high places were against the project. Col. Ripley undertook the job, and in less than two weeks a train ran over broad guage rails into Peronne yard, from: Plateau, via Maricourt, (the jumping off plaee of the first Somme offensive). Skirting Trones Wood, through Clery, then a heap | of rubble, the Scots" Guards carried the 36 feet lengths of rail, by num- ber; ties and fastenings were rushed up through the snow on motor lor- ries, and the 1st CRT spiked with commendable vigor. It was a feat of skill and determination, and an- other evidence of Canadian energy and enterprise was recognized by the British authorities. Consequently the 1st C.R.T. became the nucleus of the | Canadian Railway Troop Corps, after- wards so ably adminisfrated by Brig.- Gen. Stewart The 2nd Railway Troops came into the field during 1917, and when the armistice was signed thirteen units were in oper- ation, two more in formation, with subsidiary companies of skilled rail- road operators, tramway companies, engined drivers and a bridge building aggregation in Palestine! The red square was a distinctive and a respected badge. The men who wielded the spike maul could also shoulder a rifle. One C.R.T. unit dis- tinguished itself at' Villers Bretton- eoux, holding a part of the line until relief came, Col. Ripley must have accepted the axiom that 'actions speak louder than words," early in his professional career, and he followed that motto in the army. He was on the Western front to build railways and did it. Oratory and verbosity are foreign to him. He shunned eulogizing press men. Completion reports stated all, the blue print frame told its story. The numerous letters he received from army commanders pleased him because they reflected eredit- on--his battalion. He had a very warm. re- gard for those men, who ate raw turnips with him in 1916.
