COMMUNICATION. To the Editor: Desiring to express our resentment toward the attitude taken by some to the return of Maj. J. P. Cowles from England before, apparently, as they think, he had his bit, we beg leave to do so through the medium of your columns. Maj. Cowles, in our estimation, is a man and a soldier through and through. While serving as our major in the 114th Battalion he was ever alert to the general welfare of his men, as well as being their personal friend. After being broken up and attached to reserve battalions in England we learned our loss at not having one who was interested in us, not only as a company or battalion, but individually. We make mention that we have heard boys of other units who came under his command speak highly of him. We keenly regret that on his return to the land which he manifestly loved his home town failed to do him justice. We wish to discredit all inference that he in any way came short of serving his country to the uttermost of his ability. Seeing "(His) not to reason why, (His) but----" We indignantly resent the attitude shown toward him on his return. Had Brock's Rangers been home they would have rallied from all parts of the county to give him the welcome he was deserving of. We are extremely sorry that Haldimand can't boast of more Mr. Cowles'. Had all the eligibles been as prompt and willing conscription would have been unnecessary. Thanking you for your favor, we remain your willing servants, Boys of 114th, M. G. Section.
