Proof of this, if it was ne- cessary, was vouchsafed by the In- dians throughout the Dominion dur- ing the past five years. In this the Six Nations, inhabiting the reserve near Brantford--what remains of the tract of land, six miles on each side | of the Ouse or Grand river, given to them by the British Crown; for thetr services to the royalist cause during the United States Revolutionary war, -- were no exception. Their record is even better than that of the remain- der of Brant county, in which a part of the reserve, and their council seat, Ohsweken, are located. and Brant, claim. to having furnished more men in: proportion to its population than [any other part of Canada. : Official records show that 295 of the braves of the Six Nations donned khaki. action, six died of sickness contracted while on active service, one was re- ported missing, 55 were wounded, and but one was taken prisoner. This is a record which can.be compared with that of any other class or com- munity without bringing a blush of Indians. It is more than passing interest to man to fall in action, was Lieut. Cam- eron D. Brant, a direct descendant, on both sides of the house, of that noted warrior chief and loyal British Thayendanegea, Chief Joseph Brant, whose statue -adorns.

Later in' the 114th Battalion, Brock's Rangers, tunately owing to 'the exigencies of § war, this battalion was broken up and many of the men sent to forestry and constrictions corps, no body of Indians going to the front as a unit. The warriors also point to 'the fact that the Six Nations' Council refused } to assist the Patriotic Fund, and that at ome time the Indian soldiers' de- { pendents were cut off, and: remained without that assistance until the Haldimand = County Patriotic Fund came to the rescue.
