that Canada first sent armed forces
overseas in the Empire's cause, at the

and his Ministers gave signal proof in
their administrative acta of the grow-

The Highland regimente have al-
ways been eager to be right in the
thick of. the battle, and extremely
jealous of any partiality in this direc-
tion being shown to one regiment
more than another. in the earlier
part of the fighting at the battle of
Queue Bras in 1815 the 92nd (Gordon)
Highlanders had not been brought
into action, and it galled their officers
to tbe cote to see the Black Watch
warmly engaged in charging the
eoewy. The younger men in the regi-
metit could hardly be restrained from
rushing into the fray. "It will just,"
they said, "be the same now as it al-
ways bas been ; the 42nd will base the
luck of it. There will be a fine noise
in the newspapers shout them, but
devil the word about us.' Some of
the older members of the regiment as-
sured their younger and more im-
petuous comrades that before tee day
war over "they would have enough of
it :" and so it happened. with a vee-
geance, as the (r2nd was one of the
regiments that suffered most severely.
The stoicism of these same 142nd
Highlanders was finely exemplified by
one of their number, who having been
twice wounded at. Quatre Bras was ly-
ing on the sidewalk at Antwerp, wait-
ing patiently till his injuries could be
attended to. When an English gen-
tleman happened to speak to him In
prates of his gallantry and that ot his
comrades, be blurted out in half injur-
ed fashion: "Hoot, mon, what did we
gang tbere to do but to fecht ? What
for wad ye snake sic a din about the
like o' that?"
Ooe more incident of Quatre Bras
will bear repetition. A major of the
42nd Highlanders, preferring to fight
on foot, gave his horse to the care of
one of the regimental drummer boys.
After receiving several severe wounds
to a hot skirmish with tbe French
cuirassiers and lancers, the major fell
from loss of blood, close to Private
Donald McIntosh of bis own corp.,
who was mortallywounded at the
same time. The ittle drummer bad

with the ratio, paoioe .acini/ in
deatb, cried out: Hoot. Conn. ye
maunna tak tbat beast, it belonge t..
oor major here." Falling to under-
stand or heed the Scottish dock. the
lancer was- just seizing the her.
when Donald, with • last effort. fired
and shot him dead, and almost im-
medietelry fell track and expired him-
self. The major was atrried to the
rear, and although be bad received
sixteen wounds, finally recovered.
Bluff old Marshall Blucher, in his
report on the beta. of Waterloo,
said : "Phe Old Guard were baffled
by the intrepidity of the Scottish
regiments," and it will not be at all
e urpri.iog If Von Klutck has to pay
the Highlanders • similar compliment
ere the conflict ends on the Yore and
the Ai.se.
By no branch of the Bruise service
are the Highland regiments more
highly esteemed than by the Ooork-
bas and Sikhs and Patbane. who are
now standing .boulder to shoulder
with them to do battle for the empire.
Owe* mortal foes. they have learned
on *be field of battle to respect each
other's courage and daring. and now
fraternise as comrades in • common
