planes took part. Thirty-four of the
planes with total crews of 210, failed

WATCHING ARMOURED DIVIS-
ION IN REALISTIC MAN- •
OEUVERS
(Article. No. 9) '
By C. V. Charters
One of the most realistic manoeuvrs
which we were privileged to witness
overseas was "laid on" by the Arm,.
oured Division, commanded by Major
General E. W. Sansom, D,S.O. 'It was
the largest complete battle exercise
by one armoured brigade yet staged,
The afternoon was clear and cool;
The setting sun was perfect for this
Operation which extended over several
miles. We -were situated on a com-
manding elevation and equipped with
field glasses. Junior officers acted as
our guides, and hosts, and kept us in-
formed on the technical aspects of the
operation. Your correspondent was
the particular charge of Lieut. Laird
Bovaird, of London, formerly of Peel
County, just recently named as, Aide-
de-Camp to.General Mc-Naughton.
Training Is Hazardous ,
Such training as we were witnessing
is carried out under hazardous con-
ditions. German reconnaissance and
daylight bombers take great delight
in trying to detect and, where possible,
interrupt routine training of this kind
by bombs and machine gun fire.
Everything was therefore done to con-
ceal troops and equipment, and some
clever camouflage was used,
Spotters and Gun Production
On this particular afternoon, just,
as operations 'were about to begin, we
were advised that enemy 'bombers had
been, sighted not many miles distant.
At the same time, we were told what
to do if "he did come over," and as-
sured that one of the best "kite spot-
ters" in the service, 'equipped with
-trong virioculars, was looking after
our welfare. We were comforted to
learn also that the entire area was
ringed by our own ack-ack guns.
The eneiny . did not molest pus—the
show went on as planned—and we
were impressed and thrilled by it.
Functions of an Armoured Division
Chief function of an Armoured Div-
ision is to slash through enemy de-
fences, penetrating .and crinsohdating
ground by means of tanks, armoured
cars and motorized infantry.
In a classic attack, it would follow
the heavy tanks of ae Army Tank
Brigade in the initial break-through,
then rapidly infiltrate and pave the
way for fast-moving infantry. '
Such a Division has its own group
of artillery and motorized ififantry. It
is. self-contained, but not intended for
static warfare or ground consolidation
other than holding areas until regular
infantry formations arrive. The arm-
oured fighting vehicles of an armour-
ed division are. exceptionally powerful
aiitsome can reach speeds in excess
of 60 miles per hour.
One of the chief functions of a
Motor Battalion is to find and destroy
enemy tanks, Equally important is
the job of occupation of strong-pointS
gained by the armoured advance and
held until relief from regular infan-
try arrives,
A Make-Believe Attack
Assuming fictitiously that the Ger-
Mans had made a raid on the coast,
one armoured group has been warmed
that it may be required 0 any time,
A Canadian Infantry Brigade and an
army tank brigade have been warned
to hold, approaChes until the Canadian
corps can be moved to carry out its
Objective role,

Ammonia Pipe Springs Leak
Censiderable excitement was creat-
ed among the staff of the local plant
of Canada Packers, more familiarly
known as the Walkerton. Egg & Dairy,
when one of the large ammonia pipes
in the basement sprung a leak allow-
" ing the. fumes to fill sections of the
plant where men and girls were at
work. The episode was in the nature
of a miniature gas attack and some
two dozen employees scampered in
haste to the street for fresh air, How-
ever there were no casualties and fol-
lowing adjustments and repairs the in-
dustry was soon in full operation again.

gade to the units engaged."
A Thrilling Experience
With 'the help of our guides, our
maps and our field glasses, we could
locate the various units and see them
go into action.
It was a thrilling experience and
most realistic; at times- you imagined
it was an actual engagement.
The entire inanoeuver indicated ef-
ficient training, a fine esprit re corps,
senior officers, junior officers and men,
working in harmonious co-operation.
The skill with which these armoured
vehicles are handled gave us confi-
dence that here was a group, when
called upota will give a good account
of themselves in actual battle.
A cup of hot 'tea from the mobile
Canteen of the Y, M. C. A. and a
bumpy ride by jeep back to ourerertd-
eavous not many miles distant all
helped to make us feel as if we were
part of Canada's. army in training
