Local and Personal as well as a soldier, I believe that the General has a right to place al- most the whole alphabet after his aamo to indicate degrees and decora- tions. He did not look wel'l at that time, and since then has been forced to take a month off to rest and re- ; cuperate. I have never met anyone who knew him who did not charac- | terize him as "a fine fellow." After that day, I could understand. Having fed us the customary Eng- lish afternoon tea. Gen. McNaughton took us upstairs to his own office. It was large and airy. Maps hung on all the wails. A dozen editors and a few staff officers sat down at taihles, with the General in the centre of the horseshoe, and he gave a short address and then answered every question. There was no hesi- tation or no evasion. Occasionally, having told us something, he woaild say that was not for publication, but that was the only restriction. He kept no secrets from his visitors. Of all the editors present, I seem- ed to be the only one taking notes that afternoon. They were fairly complete. Looking over them now, some months later, I find that they are still timely and valuable. At that time, Moscow and Petrograd were both threatened by the enemy. Since then, the situation has chang- ed, but -without altering what Gen. McNaughton said of the Russian* and of the war in general. It was ii this talk he coined the famous phrase about the Canadian Corps being "a dagger pointed at the heart of Berlin," but more valuable perhaps were his remarks on equipment training and reinforcements. Feeling that the important mess- are which he asked us to give Can- adians should not be condensed, I will devote a separate article to the things which Gen. McNaughton said that Hay. It will foe the next in the series. On other days, during my visit in Britain, I met members of the Head- quarters staff in London. One even- ing, I had dinner with Major Chas. Stacey whose task is to write the official history of the part which the Canadian Corps takes in the war. He is a nephew of Mrs. Perry, formerly editor of the Elora Express. Before he took over his present work, he was a professor of history. He will do a good job. Photographically, the story of the Corps is also being well looked after, hut there seem to be no Canadian painters on the job. That is a lack that should be remedied. I believe two young painters are with a unit in Canada, but apparently there are none in England or in Scotland. Captain Gillis Purcell, our guide that Any, is back in Canada. Ho met with an unfortunate accident a few weeks after our visit, losing a leg. when a canister, being dropped from a plane, broko awny from its para- chute and struck h' m below the knee.
