Canadian Y.M.C.A. Military Work
when application was made to the Minister of Militia to send as special service officers, six Y. M.C.A. Secretaries overseas with
Force, he responded by not only complying with the request, but granted them honorary commis- sions in the Canadian Military Force as Captains, and giving them a status similar to that of the regular army chaplains. This was without precedent, and had a far-reaching effect. and became a distinguishing feature of the Can- adian Branch of the great Red Triangle work during the war. Several members of the Y. M.C. A. National Council visited the Valcartier Camp and the six men selected for overseas work had nearly all served at Valcartier. They all had training and experi- ence in Association work, and were chosen because of their special fit- ness and military experience. They received special coaching for their work from the Y. M. C. A. South African veteran, who was later affectionately known in the army as Captain Tom Best. These six secretaries were out- fitted with uniforms and supplies, and had all opportunity to be- come acquainted with the military units they were to serve, before leaving Valcartier to join the great armada of thirty transports that sailed from Cfaspe Bay, and crossed the Atlantic in sixteen days as the first reinforcement of Dominion troops to assist Great Britain. At Sea And At Salisbury Plains
These secretaries had been able, before leaving Valcartier. to dis- tribute to almost every soldier a special tunic pocket song book that had been prepared and print- ed for the overseas troops. The Director General of the Chaplain Services used these for worship services. not only on the trans- ports, but in the camps at Sails- bury Plains, alld many of the sol- diers used them wherevcr they went.
On the way over the scope and character of the work varied; some men were eliected more than others by the sea, song services and concerts were held in the evenings, sports were organized on deck on favourable occasions, con- 'cert. talent from the units was enlisted. which later proved of igreat value at the front. The op- iportunity came for religious work through song services and Bible classes that were conducted on some of the boats each Sunday gulternoon.
' At Salisbury Plains they found the British Y.M.C.A. had estab- llshed work ill Y.M.C.A. huts and .canteens among the troops. Four days after the Canadians arrived, it began to rain. and rain fell on 82 days during the next 91 at. the ,camp. The Canadian secretaries 'found there was a need equally urgent and as important for them as there had been at Valcartier. and similar work was carried on ,there in cooperation with the lBritish Association.
i when the Canadian Division moved to France, it became aunt: of the British Expeditionary Force, and the War Office did not in- 'clude Y. M. C. A. officers in the ifinal draft; however. Canadian officers became their sponsors, alld four secretaries crossed with their iullits; another secured permission from the Pastport Office in Lon- doll,and overtook his unit one day after it reached the front line.
France. 1915
Tile British Y.M.C.A. made their ICRIHOEIIS, which supplied the sol- idlers with comforts, eats. tea, cof- fee, sports goods, etc., a chief feat.- ure of their work: in the early days these were only at the bases. The Canadian Association at that
01 the time felt that the canteen service
could be left to the military, and
no financial provision had beenl
made for such a service.

The Secretaries. however, found that refreshments and commercial supplies were critical problems for the soldiers in French towns and villages and. in the trenches. Cap- tain A. W. Forgie made a begin- ning to supply this need by get- ng the "Madame" of a farm house to supply the men with eggs, coffee, etc. As they moved closer to the trenches, the need became greater, as the Expedit- ionary Forcc canteens and those of the regiments could not oper- ate due to the fighting operations and the frequent moving of troops. Thus an enterprise was begun that later made supplies available for the Canadian troops within the fighting area. that was unpre- cedented. The secretaries had no funds, but the British Y. M. C. A. gave them credit, and sold them supplies from their base at Bou- logne. They became, for the time being, practically a part of the British Association canteen sys- tem. and Captain H. A. Pearson became the medium of canteen supplies for the other secretaries with n depot at Merville.
First Y. M. C. A. Casualty
Captain Oscar D, Irwin. wllose canteen in the city of Yyres had. been struck by a shell on April 19, 1915, which killed two British of- ficers, had been taking training as a. combatant officer. He was at- tached to the tenth Canadian Battalion, which was in reserve, when the terrible battle of vpresi began. He asked permission in the emergency on April 23rd, to' accompany the battalion to stop the breach made by the German onslaught. He was leading a pla- toon in the attack into the St. Jullen Woods. when he was shot, down. A wounded sergeant tried to carry him back, when the Bat-i talion retired after recapturlllgi the lost guns. The load was too heavy. and Irwin bade him leave and save himself. A rescue was planned after dark: it failed, and no trace of his body, or grave, was ever found.

By the autumn of 1915, the ov- erseas work had grown so that administrative staff was needed. and Major Gerald Birks and Mr. W. D. Corbitt offered their ser- vices, without expense to the As- sociation, for this work. These experienced executives r e a c h e d London early in October. and their advent marked a new period in the overseas operations.
Units of the second Canadian Contingent had arrived in England in April 1915, and joined the re- serves of the First Division, which had moved to Shorncliffe. Cap- tain Tom Best came with these units, and his strong personality, ripe experience and prestige were a great help in working out a scheme of cooperation with the British Association, which was still in charge of all Y. M. C. A. huts in England.
to accomplish the transfer of these huts to the Canadian Sec- retaries, but by New Years, 1916, with the assistance of General Carson, the War Office gave for- mal approval for Y.M.C.A. officers being regarded as on thgstrength of their various brigades and div- isions, on the same basis as other recognized service units, such as Army Medical Corps, Chaplain Services and the Dental Corps.
