"The Eighth Army is nnquestion-
ably the best equipped best prepared
the most modern fighting force at
present engaged in any theatre of
operations. The British Infantry
surpasses all others in the world.
The Armoured Units of the British
Army are, well .on a par with the
best of the armoured forces in the
world. This is not British propa-
ganda, instead it comes straight
from the Italian War Ministry and
Was recently featured on the front
pages of racist newspaper and the
radio. Now that the Axis have been
booted out of Africa this is the very
time when there should be no let-
down by the United Nations, but
rather our efforts should be re-
doubled, for while it is as'poor pol-
icy to become depressed over re-
verses, still we should not become
unduly elated over successes.
Canada, too, has a magnificent, mo-
dern army, a superb body of men,
well equipped, and raring to go when
the next phase of the assault on
the Axis, the invasion of Europe,
begins.
All able-bodied, Canadians medically
fit, between the ages of eighteen'
and a half and forty-five are urged
to join the Active Forces today to
provide reinforcements for our gal-
lant soldier lads when the gigantic
battle of Europe begins. Consult the
Mobile ,Recruiting Unit when, it is
next in town and enlist in a real he-
man fighting Army so that it can
never be said that you broke faith
with Canada --or yourself. Remem-
ber, if a Country is worth living in
it is worth fighting for.
