F Canada nd the United Nations
had depended upon. "Armchair
Soldiers" to - fight thiswar,. the
Nazis and Japs would have grabbed
this country long ago. •
There is no "Royal . Road" to
Berlin. :It's fighting all the way
and Canada's Army needs every
0 • man it can get. That's why, today,
o' you should volunteer for overseas
service. You'I need 'months of
intensive training to make you
fighting -fit. -
Don't.. be a stay-at-home and let the
other fellow do it. Get into a man's
uniform with the G.S. badge of
honour on your sleeve. If . we're
going to win this war, we'll have
to domore than just read about it
in the. papers. '
So, come on you fellows the goodold army has got to finish the job!
