HISTORY OF THE RE -UNION OF THE 161ST
161ST 0. S. BATTALION
Written by Colonel 11, B. Combe,
V.D.
In October, 1915, I had arrange
With Major T. Hays, senior office
of the 32nd Bruce Battalion, to or
ganize an overseas battalion from
the 32nd and 33rd Battalions. Thi
Was to be endorsed by General Shan
non and forwarded to the Department
of Militia and Defence. In Novem-
ber, 1915, the Government decided to
form Catinty Battalions, and on De.
cember 3rd I received the following
telegram; "You Will, command and
train an overseas Battalion to
be known as The 1.61st Battalion C.
EX. Freeeed to Londen atonce for
instructions." I reported to General
Shannon the following day, hir first
question was, "Where Will your head-
quarterbe." 1 told him Clinton.
His 'Next question: "Who will be
your officers?" I took the militia
list and read all the names of officers
of the 33rd Huron Regiment.
named Major It. S. Hayes as my
Senior Major, M. D. McTaggart as
Paymaster. Major J. W. Shaw as
Medical Officer, the ranks of the rest
Were to be left until I could meet
them which I proposed to do at Clin-
ton' on December 6th. This meeting
Was held in the roams of The Clin-
ton Club, and we decided to recruit
and inlist men at ,the following
places: Goderich, •Clinton, Seaforth,
Exeter, Hensall, Bayfield, Blyth,
Wingham and Wroxeter. The Bat-
talion was mobolized at Clinton on
April fith, 1916 for the first time,
and was inspeeted by General Shan-
non and Col. Smith, G.S.G. of Mili-
tary District No. 1. The Battalion
was taken to London at the end of
May and trained there until July
Ilth when they were moved to Camp
Bordon and trained there until the
end of October. Vie were inspected
at Camp Borden by Major-General
Louis Francois Lessard, who gave us
this parting Word, which we took as
high praise ---"This is a good, sound
battalion, well administered."
The Battalion then sailed for
England and camped at Lower Dib -
gate. When we landed at this point,
we were asked to give the troops a
week's holiday. At the end of this
time we were asked to send 200 men
to France. These proceeded to
France and became absorbed in the
58th Battalion. We then moved to
West Sandling, and while there we
sent 10 not -commission officers to the
18th Batalion. Whale at this station
the 5th Division was organized, and
we were moved to Whitley Camp and
became a line Battalion in the 5th
Division under Sr.,General Garnet
Hughes'. 1 remained With the Bat-
talion until July 12th, 1917, when I
Was sent to France, being attached
to the Headquarters of the 3rd army
whose commander was Lt, -Gen, Sir
Julian Byng. The 5,th Division was
dentobblited in March, 1918, and
the troops sent to France to reinforce
•the 4th Division in France. Most of
the 161st were sent to the 47th Bat-
.
talion, soiree to the 52nd Battalioh,
BIG EVENT FOR AUG.
3-4-5 IN CLINTON
At a meeting of the 161st Re -Un-
ion committee, recently reports from
d sub -committees were received thew-
ing that all arrangements were well
in hand for enthusiastic and memor-
able celebration of the 20th anniver-
, sary of the formation of the Batts-
_ lion. Final touches were given the
arrangements.
Word has been received from many
of the survivors of the unit that they
will be on hand to renew old com-
radeships, and remind each other of
the wonderful things of trench life;
the pleasures of wearing wool shirts,
which often seemed capable of walk-
ing away; the! tem issue which had
a habit at times of not getting past
the issuing officers or nen-coms; the
glorious "leaves" in Paris or London;
the hopes of getting a "Blighty" suf.
ficiently serious to ensure two or
three months in hospital under the
care of those angelic "sisters"; the
wild scramble of "going over the
top"; etc., etc. "Don't you remem-
ber"; will be a phrase in everyone's
mouth. There will be the added spice
of comparing notes with the hundreds
of members of other units who will
be •present to help celebrate, with
generous issues of gingerale and coco-
cola!!
It is hoped that the •people who
were too old to enlist or to young
or who were physically unfit, will
do their duty now in helping the
veterans to have the time of their
lives. And may we hope that every.
effort will be made, particularly to
see that those who are "down on
their luck", will not be left out of
anything that goes to give them a
good time.
The County has made a generous
cash grant 14,2 help put the Re-rnion
over; the Town not so •generous a
one, hoping perhaps to get back
more than it gives; and merchants
have donated advertising space to
help along. May everyone do what he
and she can to give these boys a
pleasant time, of (whom it used often
to be said, "Nothing was too good
for them."
•Saturday next will be registration,
band concert and football match in
the afternoon with veterans' banquet
and street dance at night.
Sunday will witness the decorotion
of the memorial in the morning, and
drumhead service in the afternoon.
;Monday has two baseball matches
in the afternam, with on outstanding
display of wrestling in the evening,
followed by street dancing at night.
Clinton Concert Band will play.
Sunday and Monday afternoons, and
Goderich on Saturday afternoon.
