I have been a military man for over thirtyâ€"five years and I can honestly say that this is the proudest day of my life.. Citizens of GRIMSBY, I have known your young officers and most of the men for over two years, and I wish to say to you that no better men can be found anywhere in this broad Dominion than your own GRIMSBY boys. I know how the boys of ‘Fighting B‘ behaved and worked in camp and I feel sure they will do the same on the battiefield and you ’}oyal citizens at home will never be given the chance to be ashamed of them. When the speaking was done, there was hardly a dry eye in the crowd, but though heavy hearted, the citizens were happy to think that they had as fine a body of young men as those who were going to the front. Mr. W. J. Drope was the next speaker, and while he disliked war, yet be was glad to know that GRIMSBY had so many young men willing and ready to fight for the Old Flag. He said @®England‘s supremacy has been built upon the good work and the fighting spirit of her men on the battlefield and now that a mighty foe has seen reason to try and lick the world, she . must be crushed so that Old England would still lead the world, and I am proud to see that GRIMSBY and her sons are doing their share towards l("eel);lig “I:J-név- land in the front rank." t e mm Reeve Randall called the crowd to ai afaAa order and in a few well chosen words LIEUT. J. A. M.

S0 because the good clean red blood of BY‘S "Best". the Briton runs . through _ their veins, and while GRIMSBY hates to see her sons going on such a mission, they are certainly proud of them and know that Old England, Canada or GRIMSBY need ever be asham ed of them for they will do their duty to the last ditch. _ "To you men of "Fighting B" Squadromn, I wish to extend, on behalf of GRIMSBY, the wish for a safe voyage and a safe and quick return, and when you do return, you will receive a welcome the like of which this town has never _ seen.

It was a heartâ€"breaking scene to see those twentyâ€"seven bright, clean ¢ut, well built young Canadiâ€" ans standing there in line with their rifles in their hands, and stern looks upon their faces which showed that they would never shirk from the duty jefor? them. When you looked over e#littis Yand of volubteors and theni at the crowd, you fervently offered up a prayer to the Good Lord above that GRIMSBY‘S sons would return to their native town as a body and that He would spare them from the deadly bullets and shells of the battlefield.
