The unit trained at Camp Borden until November when it embarked at Halifax for overseas.

1M0 The Squadron landed at Liverpool,

England, on November E and pro- ceeded directly to Aldershot Camp in the south of England.

The men trained there until the spring; of 1942 when they moved to Hndhead. Staying there but a short time, they next underwent extensive training on the tank ranges in South Wales. From Wales the Squadron was shifted back to the south of nglsnd and was stationed near Br hton until

number of the personnel was transferred to the 5th Division and the remainder was firmed into the Support Group with the 11th Infantry Brigade.

After receiving reinforcements. mainly consisting of former mem- bers of the P.E. Island Highland- ers, the Support Group, shortly before Christmas 1949, was desig- nated as the Defense Companyfor the 2nd Canadian Corps Head- quarters and roceeded to France on Jul}! 6 1 .

Tliie C.I.O. decision, based on n Union criticism that the deizure order gave no assurance of wage increases, apparently caught the Government by surprise.

However, Agriculture Secretary Anderson telegraphed the Union he would seek to put into effect any wage increases recommended by the meat fact-finding board.

Lewis D. Clark, president of the C.I.O. meat union, announced the‘ Union's National Wage Policy Committee had voted ‘funanlmous- ly" for its 198.000 striking mem- bers to stay oﬂ.’ the job when the Government assumes operation of the plants tomorrow.
