161st HURON'S BATTALION
Surely the phrase should stir within
the breast of every man a feeling of
pride and patriotism in the knowledge
that in the day of an Empire's stress
our County has had the glorious privi-
lege of forming her own Battalion.
A Battalion composed of the sons and
grandsons of those sturdyold pioneers
who in the years gone by, settled
within the borders of the County and
by the sweat of their brows carved
out the broad acres and laid the foun-
dation for the unexampled prosperity
of Huron.
To the sons of these men—to the
sons and godsons who have not
listened to the eomtnand of King and
Country—I-make this appeal.
The Huron Battalion has been order-
ed to mobilize about May 155th and the
needed 250 men to complete the es-
tablishment of the Battalion must be
enlisted by the time of mobilization.
This is a direct command of your
Kingand a command which must be
hearened to by every man in the
County. If of military age and
physical fitness your duty is plainly to
enlist. If over 45 years of age your
duty can be done by urging and insist-
ing that the younger men do their
"bit." If under 45 years of age and
not physically 8t you can at least
wear the button -ribbon which will be
supplied you by the Medical Examiner
of your local Detachment, after he
has examined you and given you a
certificate of military unfitness.
This is the last call for men to come
forward of their own free will and to
save the County from the stigma of
reproach in that "sine did not do her
duty."
Kitchener says "The last man and
the last shall win the victory." May -
hap your individual enlistment will be
the means of the Allies inevitable
triumph. Put aside all petty jealous-
ies and considering only an Empire's
need and re County's welfare come
forward and take the place reserved
for you amongst the men who in the
days to come will prove worthy of a
County's pride and of a County's
honor.
The twelfth hour is striking. The
time for your decision has ' arrived.
The answer must be Aye or Nay.
Will it be "Ready, aye Ready I" in the
181st?
