'In endless variety. As. always, we have a y style for every face , and figure, while 'there is comfort in the way t By Fred James in "The Listen- ing Post." Some men are to (he manner born, or in other words nature désigned | them for the position or job they {fill in life. Take Major General Sir Archibald Cameron Macdonell, K.C. B.; C.M.G., D.8.0., for example, who, from June 1917 'until demobolization of the C.E.F., commanded the First Canadian Division, the "Old Red Patch" and is now Commandant of the Royal Military College, King- ston, Ontario. He is a notable ex- ample of the axiom, "Nature intend- ed him to be a soldier." He has every attribute required or expected of an officer in that profession. There's something that snacks of the gallant, aggressive and robust in the name Macdonell. Many of his for- mer brothers in arms call him "Fighting Mac," but he is more widely known by the affectionate sobriquet of "Old Mac," though he is not old for he will not reach the three score year mark until next October. He is as virile and confid- ent as any man half his age. "Old Mac" is a man of pronounc- od likes and dislikes. He has an af- fection for the R.M.C., that like his g affection for the OM First Division, is as intense as a young man's first fancy for a maid, only it is incom- parably more steadfast. Which of the two can claim first place in his heart and mind I have never asked him. He loves them both so ardent- ly and devoutly. He is also a creature of curious emotions. Didnt he, a Macdonell, marry a Campbell, Mary Maud Flora, daughter of the late Lieut. Colonel J. T. Campbell, of the 72nd High- landers and Royal Fusiliers. How- ever, that young imp of Venus has often been responsible for ending old feuds. I saw him choking with emotion as the Olympic steamed away one day in April, 1919, from the dock at Southampton with units of the "Old Red Patch" 'aboard. "Good Old Mac" chorused the troops as they waved their farewell. He tried to smile through his tears as he stood at the salute on the wharf. His last, great love, with all the glory and tradition associated with it, was too soon felt, to be only a memory---true a noble one! To this day the mention of The First Divis- ion or the "Old Red Patch" in the pr of the General is the signal for him to.stand to attention and his heels come together with a re- sounding click. In the epilogue to his'"final order of the day" to the First Division some indication of the depth of what he felt is given: He said in part: "I cannot view the breaking up of my beautiful 1st Canadian Divis- ion, the men of the 'Old Red Patch," with equanimity. It breaks me up 100. That is 'the truth. "I shall soon only be a memory to you. It will, however, 1 trust, be the pleasant memory of a Canadian General who belleved in you, trust- ed you, cared for you, gloried in your steadfast courage, discipline, and truly wonderful achievements, and who hopes none of you will be the worse for being 'Macdonell's FMen'.""" But he is none the less efficient as a soldier for the tenderness and affection in his character. As a mat- ter of fact there is no more stern disciplinarian., He thrives on all that is punctilious connected with the military "game." What some may regard as eyewash' is to Gen- éral Macdonell the stuff that makes a military force efficient. It Is the ultra correct to him--a kind of icing | on the cake. General Macdonell left tlie command of the 7th Canadian In- | fantry Brigade to take over the First Division. When he went to, bid a formal farewell to his brigade his emotion overcame him and he abruptly turned his horse about and galloped away with the tears stream- ing down his cheeks. The first battle the "Old Red Patch" fought under his command was at "Hill 70," where his efficient generalship was no mean contribut- ing factor to the success of the "show." Then followed Passchen- daele where, if ever the qualities 'of courageous leadership.were requir- ed in very unit, it was there. In his every engagement "Old Mac" de- manded much of all under his com- ence in him and loved him, he always received a hearty response. They knew hm to be a 24-carat soldier and man. When he issued an order they knew it was the result of ma- ture consideration. The campaign of the "100 days" in 1918, proved that the 1st Cana- dian Division was among the finest Divisions on the Western Front. On the 8th of August it made the great- General Macdonell's father was the late 8. S. Macdonell, K.C., and he received 'his early education at Trinity School, Port Hope, Ontario. From there he went to the Royal Military College and was among the first batch of students at that now famous institution, so that he is now the head of his Alma Mater. He got his commission in the Canadian Mounted Infantry of the permanent force in 1888. A year later he was transferrerd to the Roy- al Northwest Mounted Police. His next venture was in South Africa with the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles. He gained a conspicuous re- cord in the Boer War. For his brav- ery: he was mentioned in despatches and awarded the D.S.0. On his return from South Africa | he was given command of "C" Div-| ision of the R.N.W.M.P. When the; Great War began he was in com- mand of Lord . Strathcona's horse and with that regiment he went over- | seas. He chafed for several months in England. He wanted to get to France. After the second battle of Ypres reinforcements were badly needed in Flanders so the Canadian Cavalry brigade yolunteered for in- fantry duty. "Old Mac" took his cavalry men to th¥ First Division and afoot his regiment did fine work at Festubert, Givenchy, and at Mes- sines Ridge. When the 7th CIF. was organized "Colonel" Macdonell was given command and elevated to a Brigadier Generalship. i "Old Mac' is a romantic charac- ter. He is well and favorably known throughout the Dominion. He has seen civilization step into Western | Canada and the wilderness step out, and moreover he has been a factor in promoting the best elements of the former. As commandant of the Royal Mili- tary College no better choice could have been made. The fathers and mothers who send their sons to R. M.C. need have no fear nor worries but that the old General, who him- self brought up one. of the finest young gentlemen who ever lived and who sleeps over yonder in France, will' give the attention and training to their sons as probably few other men on this eqntinent are capable of doing. "Old Mac's" principal div- ersions are riding, Scottish Clans, on which there is no greater author- ity, and '"reminiscensing." He has a great bump of humor and is one of the greatest raconteurs in this country. : He loves all that is Scotch--even some of the Campbells--but his greatest love is Canada, for whom he has fought a great deal and has liv- ed for consistently, LOCAL NEWS.
