Mr. Cornish recalled the his- tory of the battalion. Battalion History • It is not only a pleasure but an honor for me to have the ope. PortunitY of giving you some of the history of the 161st Huron Battalion and also of the Batta- lion colors. The cer 9 service in which we ha part this afternoon of the dedi cation and the placing of the re- plicas of the original colors for safe keeping here in Trivitt Me- morial Church should go down in the history of the County of Huron., It is occasions such as this, that help to bridge the gap be- tween the present generation and the past. To my knowledge, this Is the first time any history of the 161st Battalion has been given. The 161st Huron Battalion was organized in C Linton, Decem- ber 6, 1915, by Col. Combo and some of the officers of the old 33rd Huron Rwiment. Recruiting offices were setup in' various towns in the County and as the men enlisted they were trained in their respective towns until the end of April 1916. They were from all walks of life . . . mostly farmers, store clerks, bank clerks, school teachers, businessmen, doctors, lawyers and musicians. At the end of April the men travelled to Clinton and the Bat- talion mobilized and trained there until the end of May. At this time, It consisted of 35 officers, 790 NCO's and men. At the end of May the Battalion travelled to Hillcrest Camp, London, and trained there until the end.ofJune. Early In July It moved to Camp Borden until the end of October. During the years of the First World War (1914-1918) there was a group of young ladies here in • Exeter, known- as the "Soldiers' Aid Sodiety", under the leader- ship of Miss L. Johns, Mrs, R. N. Creech and Mr. W. J. Beaman. The society raised several thou- sand dollars by various types of entertainment, social *functions ansi donations to purchase yarn for socks, Red Cross supplies and materials for hospitals. They also purchased the 161st Batta- • lion Colors and travelled to Camp Borden on August 29, 1916, to, present the Colors. Rev. D. W. Collins, a former rector of Tri- vitt Memorial Church spoke on behalf of the presentation com- mittee and Captain J. K. Fairfall, Chaplain of the Battalion conse- crated the Cblors. Four of the young ladies of the Soldiers' aid Society are with us this afternoon . . . Mrs. Etta May Young,Mrs. Sweetman, Miss Stella Southcott and Mrs. Valeria Armstrong. Mrs. R. N. Creech,presented the Kings Colors to major R. S,. Hays, received by Lieut. C. McLean; and Miss L. Johns presented the Regiinental Colors to Major W. J. Beaman, received by R. A. Wal- ters. Col. S. C. Mewburn of Head- quarters was present at the cere- mony and presented C.S.M. Geo. James with the long service me- ' dal. In October before the Batta- lion went overseas, Col. Coinbe,., with a detachment of "B" Co. tra- velled to Goderich and headed by the 161st Band marched to the steps Of the courthouse with the Colors. Rev. J. B. Fotheringham, rec- tor of St. George's Church, con- secrated tie-Colors and they were handed over to Sheriff Reynolds to be placed in the court house for *, • safe keeping until after the war. Col. Combe, in his address, gave a fiery- glowing tribute to the men of the Huron Battalion for the splendid showing on their last in- spection that decided on their going overseas and they now ' ranked in Class "A". The Huron Battalion had one of the finest military brass bands in the Province, under-the leader- ship of Bandmaster S. D. Grant. The 'Battalion also had a good bugle band, under the leaders*. of Sgt. W. GOodwin.of Hensall. Had the 161st Battalion had the opportunity of going to France as a unit there is no doubt they would have been an honor and glory tb those Colors and also an honor to the County of Huron. The Battalion left Camp Borden the end of .October, 1916, and sailed to England on the "Old Lapland" a They landed at Liver- pool, then entrained for 'Shorn:- ctiff to Lower Dibgate Camp, ar- rived there November 12th. Be- fore the end of Novermber a draft of over 200 men from the Batta- lion we're sent to France to re- inforce the 58th Battalion. The Brucefield Veteran • • H.-P. Board - (Continued from Page 1) Mr. Held said that where there have been seine increases in the dontract price it has been due to transporting -kindergarten children. Kindergartens are being Initiated in September in the Separate Schools in Huron and Perth Which did not have them previously. Salaries to be paid to janitors were discussed at great length. Jack Lane, Business Adminis- trator, was instructed, to mail out a list of duties for janitors and a salary contract for each janitor to sign.

Here the Huron Battalion was brought up to full strengthby men from the Oxford and Lamb- ton County Battalions and became part of the 5th Division. By the end of 1917 the 5th Di- vision was split up and theBatta- lion went over to France in drafts to reinforce the 4th Divisioe al- ready in France. The 161st men 'went to the 1st, 4th, 8th, 18th, 38th, 43rd, 47th, 49th, 52nd Bat- talions, the 5th CIVIR and to seve- ral Machine Gun Corps and the 58th Battalion, previously men- tioned. They took park in the bat- tles of Arras, Avion, Amiens, Bourlon Wood, Cambria, Canal du Nord, Hill 70, Lens, Pashen- dale, Vimy, Valenciennes, Vis- en-Artois and other battles.'

Hall bf St, Marys who is with Us this afternoon. , 'After the war the Battalion Colors were taken from the Coun- ty Courthouse, Goderich, and on Monday, May .24th, 1920, at 11:00 a.m.' the Colors were placed here in Trivitt Memorial Church for safe keeping. Bishop.D. Williams officiated at the service. Present at the ceremony were Gen.Ganet (GOC), Maier Lawless (AAG), col. CoMbe, Col. Rance, Col: shaw, col. Revell, Major Mc- Tagart, Major Heamona Rev. Captain McKegney, Rev. Capt. •McGowan an a number of re- turned men. Friends and Comrades, I sometimes wonder whether those men who paid the supreme sacri- fice died in vain. If we Old Vets, Veterans of the 11 World War, members of the Royal Canadian Legibn, yes, and. our govern- ments, our churches, our service clubs and our fraternal organiza-, tions take up the torch and hold it high and work and strive to make this a better world in which to live for 'all nations irrespec- tive of race, color or creed, these Men who paid the supreme sacri- fice will not have died in vain. On Thursday evening a social gathering was held in the Walton public School to honor Mrs.Har- vey Robertson on her retirement. She had taught the past 13 years in the Walton school. Many of her former pupils were present to share this eve- ning with her and everyone signed the guest book. The evening was spent playing euchre with 18 tables in play. Prizes were awarded to Mrs. Ernie Stevens for high lady and Mrs. William Thamer, low lady. High gent was Harvey McClure and low was Ken Williamson. A program followed with Em- merson Mitchell in charge. Gall Traviss sang a solo accompanied by Mrs. Travis. A saxaphone number by Carol, Keith and Brian Wilbee with Mrs. Wilbee as- sisting at the piano followed. Bill Shortreed contributed a solo with Mrs. 'Herb Traviss as accom- panist. A visit from Red Skelton played by Mrs. E. Mitchell proved an interesting part of the evening which gave many a laugh for the large audience'. ' Mrs. Robertson was asked to come forward when Mrs. Ken Williamson, the former Ann Blake, read an address and a wall picture and jewellery was presented to her by Gordon Mit- chell and Brian Pollard. Mrs. Ro- bertson made a fitting reply and said that although she would miss the friendship of the pupils and teachers, she would have many happy memories of her teaching years in Walton. . W.I. MEETING The W.I. June meeting was held in the Walton Community Hall Wednesday evening. Mrs. Alvin McDonald) the president turned the meeting over to the Convenors on $,Educatiop", Mrs. Herb Traviss intreduced the guest of the evening; Stan Piquet of Goderich, whe is a farm management specialist with the Agriculture office in Clinton.'
