0i.D WAIIIIME SCENES IIECAIIEII III A LETTER READ AI BATTERY REUNION I

An interesting letter from Dr. D. C. Mac-Donald, now practicing in North Bsttlcford. 8ask., was read by Mr. Loni Mu:Dou3all at the eighth battery reunion held at Eandys Restaurant on Tuesday. Doctor MacDonald was a signaller in the battery and came from his home in Antigonlsh, N. 8. to Join up with the Island unit on its formation. He was in Vienna.

The letter reads:

Thank you very much for the information you sent to Vienna. I found out afterward that I had. at home. a resume of the bstteries' moves in France. but I did not have it with me. I believe that I got it from Dave Miller some years ago.

When I left Vienna. I went by air to Frankfurt in Germany. and there I hired ll car and driver for two days. We drove down the Rhine as far as Cologne and back. It was a very beautiful drive. The cities in this area showed a. lot of dam- age from bombing during the war. In Malnz. one hundred and fifty thousand peopletware killed out of a population of five hundred thous-3 and.

AHIINB UNGIIANGID

The chateau grounds. east of Amiens. where we had our battery position for the great battle of August the eighth. still looked very much the same, and one had to pinch oneself to realise that so many years had passed.

I could not definitely locate our battery.position further ahead near Vrely. as the country was all green with crops and looked different. I think I saw approximately where it was.

Arrss is completely rebuilt and does not have any scars of war left..Dur old battery position at Blangy. east of the city is now I grain field. Going east on the Arras-Cambrai road I could tell approximately where our positions were, but there are not traces of trenches or gun-pits, nothing but grain fields and orchards.

The Canal Du Nord is a very peaceful stretch of water now, and the banks are lined with trees which have grown up since.

Velenciennos was as far east as I went, as It was at the capture

of this city that our battery last saw action. They have a. street in the city named the Avenue llulh Cairns, after the late Sgt. Hlllh Cairs of Saskatoon. who received his V. C. in the capture of the

I thought the Canadian War Memorial at It. Julien was one of the most beautiful I saw. It was raining when I was there. but I got a couple of pictures which are fairly good.

Replacing the ori- ginal Monln Oats there is now a huge and beautiful archway built to commemorate the dead of the British Empire, who died in this locality. The names of those who have no known grave are Inscribed within the arch. It is said that one million men marched east through this gate and never came back. We visited the place in the even- ing a few minutes before the sun- set hour, and other visitors. mostly Belgians, soon gathered. Two policemen appeared dressed as it
