In the absence of Captain 'Dixon, Lance Sergeants Kenneth Cameron and Hugh Cuming replied to this toast in a most • acceptable manner, and the gathering was real proud of them. Kenneth reviewed the history of the 97th Battery from the time it was mobilized at Walkerton in Sep- tember 1939. They spent that winter at Listowel and in the spring moved to Petawawa for 13, months of long, hard training. They then spent three months at the East Coast at Sussex and .:Tracadie,• and five weeks ago received their embarkation leave. Returning they have since been "hanging around" until receiving "thus furlough. "So here we . are, • good old Ontario, and glad to be back", said Kenneth.
