Crsewell _Photns

The following letter has been received by Mrs. Alphonse Leclair, North Rustico, from Capt. J. E. deﬂart. Troop Commander. “A” Troop. "K" Battery, tth Regi- ment, Royal Canadian Horse Ar- tillery, which has been serving in Korea.

MI’. and Mrs. LeClair have two sonsserving in the Battery, Al- phonse Jr. and Ferdinand, both of whom are expected home on leave in the near future.

“Dear Friends:

“What is wrong with that ship?" "Why can't it hurry tip?"

"These questions are on the lips of all of us in ‘A’ Troop and throughout the whole Regiment. No doubt. you at home are asking the same questions as the time for our return to Canada draws closer. Yet. none of us can give the an- swer to this vital question because the date is still unknown, We fire. however, certainly hoping to leave during the early part of May.

"With these unanswered ques- tions stlll on our lips, I am writ- ing to those nearest and dearest to each man in my Troop in order to try and tell you s. few of the things we feel after a year's ser- vice ln Korea.

“First and foremost we want to go home. Make no mistake about that. Korea is a desolate looking country at best, and in spite of its old and interesting culture. most of us will be very glad to see the last of it. Our living conditions here have been adequate. We have not suﬂered for want of food. nor have we been without heat in our bunkers or tents. We have even

selves working hsrdor than they had done durir.;r the war. Again time passed quickly and we were all relatively contented.

“Then came tne third and final stage—t.he last two months. The basic work of reorganization was finished. Improvements were still needed. but not at the urgent pace formerly maintained. Many began to feel that any work done in the final stage would only benefit the new unit coming over. and at times their hearts were not in it. Thoughts turned daily towards Canada, homes, familiu and friends. This vas truly the most difficult time of all.

"How did the men—-your men—- respond to these difficulties? They were superb. Can you imagine living for a year in a bunker or tent with six or eight other men? Can you imagine what it is like to speiid all your time. day and night. off duty and on. looking at the same faces. talking to the same men. never alone, never (except for one brief possible week in Japan) away? All this we did and the men in the Troop were mag- niflcent.

“This has always been a source of amazement and pride to me. I often made heavy demands on the Troop. but in spite of hard work. long hours. obscure goals at times. and worries about you at home, they never let me down. our Troop and the whole Regiment has a fine record, both in war and peace, and we are all proud of it.

“Personally I shall always re- member my Far Eastern service with feeling. Tn spite of the isola- tion and distance from home and

enjoyed such luxuries as electric lights and during the final months of our stay. prefabricated build- ings for recreation rooms and canteens. Nevertheless it is a hard life which may be reduced by our Csnsdian standards to a minimum of comfort and long hours of work with little time off for relaxation.

"We are located in s strategic area and are removed from the company of women except for the occuionel concert party. Thus we have been away from the reﬁning influence of ladies and such mix- ed social activities as dances and parties. We will therefore have to take off the rough edges when we come home and settle into a normal happy life once again.

"I like to divide our service in Korea into three distinct sections. First is the period of the war from the time we arrived until July 27th. 1953. when the truce was signed. The second period is from the end of hostilities until approximately the end of Febru- ary IDM. The third period consists of March and April of this year.

“Life during the first period pre- sented few real problems. We had a job to do. and the goal was clearly defined in the form of bat- tles to be fought. ammunition to be nrcd, guns and vehicles to be operstcd and meintsined. Work went ahead in round-the-clock shifts and because everyone was so busy and each man in the team knew his own job. time passed quickly and we were all relatively hllwv.

“During the second period, im- rnodiately after the war. we had to move to s new location iipd convert our-,l.fving qua;-um from splinter proof bunkers into tents. We Wm kept very‘ busy. Korea is 1'. land of hills, and no man can leave it without being an expert with a pick and shovel. This was A period of moving. digging, build- ing and reorganizing.

I am proud to have been able to command such B. fine group and I shall always remem- ber my aasociation with them.

Sixteen - Year - Olfls Training At Ontario

By Dave Mclntolh Canadian Press Staff Writer

KINGSTON, 0nt.. (CF) -— The Canadian Army's beardiess bat- talion" is required, iiuadoxically, to shave every day.

"On the parade square even

peach fuzz shows up. especially in the sunlight," one NCO said. not in the manner of a man poking fun at the boys but rather of one long accustomed to parade-ground nlceties. The army started enrolment of 16-year-old boys in January 1953 to overcome a shortage of trades- men. About 500 of these “soldiers apprentices" now are in service and another 500 are to be recruited this summer. , Before the First World, War, boys of it and up were enlisted and trained as “boy soldiers." This practice is still carried on in the British and Australian armies.

Go To Corps Schools

But under the present scheme the boys are trained at various corps schools for two years in- stead of going to particular units.

At nearby Camp Bsrrlefield, 106 soldier apprentices are training in the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and another in in the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. The rest are training as engineers and transport and ord- nance workers at Chilliwuck, B. C., Camp Borden, Ont, and Montreal. French-speaking soldier apprentices get a working knowledge of Eng- lish at Valcartier. near Quebec City, before they go to corps train- ing schools in other provinces.

The boys sign on for seven years. with the option of quitting after five. They must possess it Grade 8 education and have parental con- sent to join up.

An apprentice is paid 846 A month until his 17th birthday. when he gets :92, a regular private's pay. When qualified. he also re- ceives trades pay. A boy can go back to Civvy street at 21 with a trade or stay in the service and retire on pension at 36. After 20 years. 3. servlceman who retires receives a pension equal to two- fifths of his pay Iveraked over the prccceding six years.

Wosr Army Uniform

The boys wear the regular iirmy uniform, with A green stripe on the epsulets denoting soldier ap- prentice. They are allowed off camp until midnight four nights I week. They can have week-end

clude clerk. driver, gun or engin- eer mechanic, amorer, wireless operator, radio mechanic and cook. A few complain they are shoved into trades they ilon’t particularly want. to learn because these trades will be of little use in civilian life. The boys take better to the mil- itary and trades training than they do to academic subjects.

“Like Other Kids"

The boy put it this way: “We're just like other kids. We're not fussy about school. We don't like being bossed around too much. either." Discipline is not as strict as in the regular army. "But," one offi- cer said. “we have to chew them out now and then; if you don't. they'll fool you faster than an old- timer." Four or five boys in each pla- toon don't make the grade and go biick to civil life. At, the RCEME school ap- preritires live four to a room. Each boy has his own bed. locker. rug and A table with reading light. The rising hour is 6 am. Classes start at 8 am. and end at 4.15 p.m. The building is steam-heated and boys look after their own rooms. Another building has n. dry can- teen, television room. library. pool tables and a theatre were three movies are shown weekly. There is also a hobby shop rind camera. model and angling clubs.

“If you can stand the army, it's not had here," one boy said.
