These comprise men in the trenches in Flanders, reserves in Enkiallfi regiments at Bermuda and West lndies, the second. third and fourth contingents under training. and the home de- fences. The 99,000 men now under arms are distributed as fol- lows: First Coiitingcnt. now at the front. with reserves in England -36,000. . _ _ _ Princess Patricia Light infantry, anti reinfocrements- 1,000 men. Royal Caandian Regiment at Bermuda-1,200 men. Regiment of St. Lucia, British West Indies-500 men. Thirteenth regiments of mounted men-7,400. Second Contingent. including -1.000 already in England -20,000 men. Twenty~six regiments of Third and Fourth Contingent .~20,f)00 men. Men on homo defence ditty and guarding alien camps .-l0,l62 men. ln addition to the foregoing, there has been sent for- ward various hospitals. veterinary and other tletachmenL~;, which would make something like fifteen hundred or two thousand men. ' The First Army Division. now in Flanders, under the command of General Alderson, consists of four brigades. of four battalions each. it Ls accompanied by a squadron of cavalry and a company of cyclists. The artillery at the front consists of three field artillery brigades, the heavy artillery battery with ammunition column, and the divis-, ional ammunition column. There are three divisional eu- gineer companies, a signal company, ai' supply and trans- port. train, anti three medical fir-ld ambulances. Besides the army division. there is the Princess Patricia Light In- fantry which left canada eleven hundred strong. Five hundred men as reinforcements have been sent to them. and most of these have already' joined the regiment. ln :itltlition there are what are known as communications units, which arc rcally administrative units required for duty in the rcnr ot' the fighting, or first line troops. llesidt-1- these troops. there are now in England, of the 113,000 who went over with the First Contingent. three but- tnlions which will be used as reinforcements for the ili- fantry. and the 17th Nova Scotia Regiment. which is being used as n gcucral reserve. One infantry battalion. the Sixth. which was originally the 34th Fort Garry Light llorsc, of Winnipeg, have been transferred into mounted infantry, and will be used as a depot for the purpose oi' providing cavalry reinforcements. ln addition to these units the First Contingent contained the Royal Catladlan Drngoons. thc Lord Strathcona Horse, and two battalions of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. These tliree.units are apparently still in England. When the war broke out the British regular regiment, stationed at Bermuda was recalled, and the Royal Canad- ian Regiment, f‘anada`s crack permanent corps, of Halifax. wps sent to take its place. ln addition. a regiment 500 strong, were sent to St. Lucia. British West lndics. No ment.ion of this movement has ever been made in any Can- adian newspaper, but the regiment has been stationed there are some time and as all danger oi' German attack by raiding cruisers has passed, there can he no harm in pub- lishing the fact. ' Western Fanatls in particular is filled with expert horsemen. cowboy, rough riders, and frontlersmen. At the outbreak of thc war there was a strong demand from these men to he allowed to go to a mounted corps. However, at that time it was apparent that the war was to be one of trench fighting. and the imperial authorities discouraged the idea. Later, when Turkey threw her turbau into the ring, it was decided to raise. three mounted brigades. Tliese will bc sent to Egypt, if required, and if not needed therc, may he nt’ use in later stages of the war in Europe. These consist of thirteen regiments, six of 600 men and scvcn of G50 men. They are all recruited up to f'ull strength, und, in foci, are over strength. Eight of these regiments are in \\'c-stern Canada and tive in Eastern Canada. The Second Contingent is now fully recruited, and is carrying on its training preparatory to leaving for the front. Approximately there are 20,000 men, of whom 4.000 urc already lu England, and may he called upon if re- quired, as reinforcements for the First Contingent. This contingent consists of a full army division. There are twelve infantry brigades. a squadron of mounted troops, twelve field artillery brigades, a heavy battery, ammuni- iion columns, divisional engineers, signal service, etc. ln addition to the two army divisions, there arc twenl Third and Fourth Contingents. at various stages of evolu- N011- They will Only be sent to the front as reinforcements. Most. of these regiments are at full strength, and others are at half strength and are daily filling up their' ranks. Several regiments have just been authorized, and have only been recruiting for a. few days. lt is estimated by the _Militia Department that some twenty thoussand men have been enlisted for these regiments, and the number is grew- ins daily. _ln addition, the latest figures show that matic ere. _etlctlv 10,102 than on active :mice in canada, in- filiilil i-ill lerriaon Halifar.
