From North Toronto to Glasgow with
Our Boys
The following interesting letter was
written by Lieut. W. T. Armstrong, son of
Mr. Wm, Armstrong of East Wawanosh.
Lieut. "Toth" Armstrong and Lieut
"Cites" McLean were sudents of the
Wingham High School when they enlisted
and that institution may well be proud to
claim two such pupils as they.

The days were spent in different
forms of amusement. After break-
fast at 8:30 we mostly went on deck
for a walk. The open air was the
greatest preventative against sea sick-
ness which we were anxious to ward
off. We would then partake ourselve
es to the drawing, lounge or card
room where some . played different
games, others favored us with music.
In the latter we were indeed fortun-
ate in having several talented people
who were always willing to give a
piano or vocal solo.
Withal this enjoy went we were
warned continually of the danger that
might be in the water by several In-
cidents which happened daily. When
we went on board ship orders were
posted up compelling everybody to
wear or carry life belts at all times..
Every day at a certain hour we all
had boat drill ,Before we left port all
windows were painted so that lights
'would not show. At dusk all were
p'it off the decks and nobody was al-
lowed out. To eht•'or es this a guard
which was inspect.•; at uncertain
Lours was placed at every entrance on
to the 'decks. These guards were Ha-
lle
to court-martial if they failed to
fain their duties. We entered the
Veneer Zone Tit teedey c:eniee Mar
7 ani when we o.,t the next
more:17g we wee s trroundal, by a
fleet of Britairis's watch dogs, the
Torpedo BoatDestroyers. They are
certainly a wonderful craft as they
raced here and there hardly discern-
ible in the water but always ready
for any danger that presented itself.
Several were of the most modern type
and had a speed of forty to fifty miles
per hour. The protection afforded by
these destroyers was shown clearly
later on. Sunday morning Mar. 10.
we were suddenly awakened by re-
peated signals. Fearing some danger
we went on deck, the rest went down
to the dining hall. Only a short time
had elapsed when two eriplosious oc-
curred and everybody rushed up to
the life boat stations. Tho destroy-
ers were racing•here and there a-
round a certain spot and we found out
later that a submarine bad shown it-
self above the water and the explo-
sions were caused by depth bombs
dropped by the destroyer tp pl{iw tip
the undersea boat. .
This incident happened in sight of
Ireland and Scotland. 33y noon the
mists had cleared away and the Scot-
tish Highlands lay on our right. They
were a mass of purple dotted here
and there by bright green fields. The
different colors blended together
made a beautiful ,picture. Sud.l:enly
from among the hills there arose bal-
loon -like shapes, which came towards
rte and we then found out they wore
dirigibles. The reminded us of the
work we were undertaking ourselves.
By this time we were assured that
Ise were going to land at Glasgow as
ly£, wp{•e new entering the mouth of
the Clyde. The scenery from this
point up was fine. Tho 'little villages
nestled along the bank were built
completely of red brick or stone and
with their white chimney pots show-
lttg clearly against the red tiled roofs
they were a sign of contentment and
prosperity.
What lnipresscd us most was the
extraordinary cleanness and lack .of
