FIRE CENTENNIAL UM

LT. Col. J. D. Harvey.
commanding officer of 21 Field.
Artillery Regr. , with comport,-
ent batteries in Wingham, Lis-
towel and Walkerton, has an-
nounced that 14 separate sal-
utes are scheduled for the sum-
mer months.
The 100-gun salutes will be
a part of centennial celebra-
tions in the towns and villages
in this area.
In addition to the salutes at
Wingham, Listowel and Walker-
ton on July 1, at 12 noon, the
exercise will be carried out at
Kincardine, June 16, Teeswa-
ter, June 30; Brussels, July 1;
Atwood July 1; Mount Forest,
August 2; Seaforth, Sept. 4;
Lucknow, Sept. 16. The regi-
ment will also be part of par-
ades in Chesley on June 11 and
in Walkerton on June 30, with
mounted guns but no firing will
be done that day.
The 21 Field Artillery Regi-
ment (M) consists of a regi-
mental headquarters and three
field batteries. RHQ and 99 Fd.
Bty. are-located at Wingham,
97 Fd. Bty. is located at Wal-
kerton and 100 Fd. Bty. at Lis-
towel. RHQ is organized on a
skeleton basis sufficient only to
control the training of the bat-
teries and to provide adminis-
trative and logistical services
for the regiment. The three
field batteries are identical in
organization, and contain all
the elements necessary for the
functioning of a battery at re-
duced establishment.
The Regiment has a strength
of about 600/0 of its authorized
establishment of 300 all ranks,
drawn from a 10,000 square
mile area in the counties of
Huron, Bruce, Perth, Grey and
Wellington. Its training is
directed towards developing a.
single battle-worthy battery and
secondly, a disciplined force
to assist in civil emergencies.
It is equipped with 105-mm
howitzers and the ancillary
equipment and stores necessary
for their deployment.
The history of the Regiment
began with the Independent
Drill Companies formed during
the 1850s in Huron, Bruce and
Perth Counties, and carried on
with the incorporation of some
of these in the County Battal-
ions formed undei the Militia
Act of 1866. From these bat-
talions, there went forward to
the 1914-18 War the 110th,
160th and 161st Battalions, CEF.
In 1920, the Militia re-
organization left the Huron and
Bruce Regiments, and three
squadrons of the 9th Grey Horse
distributed over Huron, Bruce
and part of Perth Counties.
Another re-organization in
1936 established the Unit as
specialized gunners for the first
time, with the three present
field batteries plus the 98th at
Port Elgin which was moved
during the Second World War to
Kincardine, forming the 21st
Field Brigade RCA.
After the war, 98 Bty. was
moved to Goderich and the unit
role was changed. Equipped
