Modern inventions have not taken away from the Infantry its
all-important part in victory. Again and again, in the battles of
1939-45 and in Korea, Infantry has proved itself — “Queen of
Battles”. The job of the infantryman has become tougher, more
complex. He must be able to handle more weapons and to meet
a greater variety of situations in defence and attack.
To attain the specialist rank of Leading Infantryman and the
extra pay that goes with it, calls for intensive training in many
varietl subjects. For the Canadian Infantry Soldier is one of the
most thoroughly trained men in our army. He ranks with the
finest fighting men in the world.
More men are needed right away to serve with the Infantry —
the most important men in the Canadian Army.
To enlist you must:
Volunteer to serve anywhere. Be 17 to 40 (Tradesmen to 45).
