I will appreciate it if you will publish the followingpereona1 explanation: I accompanied the 161e6. (Huron) Battalion to England, as 2nd in Com- mand. Shortly after our arrival in England I was ordered to France for iustructlonal purpo00e end duty and was attached while over there to the5th Battalion and had a much appreciated opportunity to visit and inspect the frontline hold by the Oanadiene and got'valpable instruction es to how thin• gs are carried on 111 France and in the Trenches. Shortly after my return to the 16166 . 3lattalion, (lien oral Swif SEAFORTi , ONTARIO, THURSDAY, dULV 19 1917 Brigadier of our Brigadier, ordered m to take a 2 mouths cause at an lamer - ill Senior Officers Schoot at Bedford,, stating that it was the best course in England and that when I had. finiabed I woeld be qualified to lead a Battalion any where, 1 attended said Conroe and at the final qualifying exaininetiona obtained the following percentages:-•- Adininietrationand Organizetien 94p,c. Topography and Map Reading 77 • Taotioe 59 Trench Warfare 86 316 A total of 79 per cont in all subjects, On the day following my roturn from Bedford, General Swift sent for me and said to me that 1 had passed a very satisfactory examination and lie wanted ine to accept an appointment in Eng- land as he did not think I could atend the srtain of a campaign in Franao, I pointed out to thin that 1 was in better physical condition than when bo asked me to take the BedfordCourse and that I knew from personal experience what would be required of me in France and I was quite prepared to go. Ile pres- sed me to re -consider his propoeitien re Staff appointment and to advise him of my decision. This I aid and below I set forth my letter and General Swit's reply, which explain themselves, Headquarters, 161st, 0, I, En, Whitley, April 27th 1917 0. C; 14th, Can. Inf, Bde. Sires ,E After full consideration I have de• oided that it ie my clear duty to ac. company our men to France and assure you that I am perfectly ready and Will- ing to go to France with the 18191 Battalion. In our conversation of yesterday 1 clearly set forth my position and facts justifying my 'request and trust that this can be arranged: I have the honor to be Sir, Your obedient servant, "R. S. Hays" Major 16IstOan. Inf. Batt. Headquarters, 14th, Can. Inf Brigde Witley Surrey, April 30th 1917 Major R. S, Hays, 16I9rCan, Infantry Battalion With regard to the question of the severance of your connections with the 161et Huron Battalion, it may be stat- ed -for your information that in reach- ing this decision the main determining factor was your age, This alone would militate very strongly against, the possibility of your remain ing with the Battalion in France for any length of time, and you will under. stand how difficult it is for an officer of your years, not only to adapt yourself readily to the ever changing conditions of general service in Prange, but also to 'withstand the hardships which this ser- vice must of a necessity entail. In severing your conneotione with your old Battalion you will fully appre- ciate the fact that in doing so you are making' way for a man younger in years and stronger in physique and you will athe same time carry with you the personal satisfaction of ktt6 'ing that the work you have performed in oon— noation wiih the raiaing of theBattalion and bringing it to England is as much appreciated by the military authorities as by the peopleof the County in which your Battalion was raised. "A. E. Swift," Brigadier -General Commanding 14th Can, Infantry Brig, 1 did everything that was possible to get pormieaion to aeoompany ourmen to Franoe and when 1 could not get the permission, I deelined to accept any appointment. in England for I did not consider that my services were required there, as there are huudrode of ofiicers in England who are anxious for same, When the full facts aro known with reference to the treatment meted out to the offioere and H OO'ain the Battalions in the 5th Division, including the 160th (Bruce) and the 161st. (Huron) Batt aligns, 1 acv confident that the people of the Counties of Bruce and Heron' will strongly roe:nt same. None of the officers sent to the 161et Battalion bad any experience at the Front, except Major Bowen, who had 14 moethe oxporleuoo iu France, and had been wounded, and Major Bowels wail outspoken against what he saw be- ing earriad out end refused to • accept any' appoiiltmovt in the Battalion and has left it, Fuvtlnlr the following die. . satisfied offioers, of tlieir•own motion, have transferred out of the llattal}ou, viz: Majors Carlton and Gregory, Capt. tains M0ep4ere0n and Malone, Lieu- tenants Gregory, Hall, Smith, Ball and Cltiff (Rex).
