FAWCETT MILLBROOK PLATOON .TOO SMART FOR GITY SLIOKERS A wooden Indian. Little Chief}: mascot of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, is reported AWOL (absent with-l out leave) from the unit’s head- quarters in Belleville. MascBâ€"t. of this famous- infantry unit. since 1939, Little Chief disap- peared “Tuesday of last week, 1while c‘ompaiiies of the regi- tment attended a drill eo-mp-eti- 'tion in Belleville. ‘ It is believed Little (‘11in has been held by headquarters in Belleville for many years, and "Th’é’wiocar' 15'55'53' fro ‘to be 0011‘- gratulatml 011 not only acquir- in‘g Little Chief, but his son also, a four-foot wooden image. It seems that. it is thesole ambition of each platoon to kidnap the “Indians” which they are permitted to do, pro- viding t’hev re smart enoug oh, and carry them off home where they are kept close guard over to prevent any other platoon from acquiring them. The local boys, no doubt, pulled a smart trick in outsmarting,r their city brothers in eapturng these two prizes. However, with men like Tommy Pint-k among their ranks who had more'than ordinary experience in this re.- gard, having taken part in the Dieppe raid during: the war. it is no wonder thev took their city rivals for “a ride” as it were, and walked off. or should we say, ran off with the two prizes. The Indians will re- main securely loeked up in the local armouries and amr platoon smart enough to wisk the'n‘i’ away from the local platoon will surely have to be up before .the bugle sounds in the morn- ing. Meanwhile back in Canada. the 2nd battalion’replaced the original with the present 9 foot wooden ‘meascot. and [sent it overseas to the lst Battalion. Little Chief was born in Pic- ton in 7939, 12 feet tall, wade of steel, paint and creative hands, appropriated 1mm the roof of a. canning factoyy being used as a barracks in 1939. Little Chief went overseas with the “Hasty Fees” in 1,940, but was lost in France during the early hectic war days.
