He was ble to recruit from nearby hold- and reinforcements de- |pots, a sufficient number of high- ly talented musicians. The band turned out to be a highly success- ful entertainment venture and was in great demand throughout he area. Sergeant Major Skel- ton and his band were offered the chance to join one of the Cana- dian Entertainment groups, an offer which he however declined. In May, 1946, he married an English girl and returned to Can- |ada in August of the same year. He returned to civilian life in No- |vember of that year. Unable to | detach himself completely from | military life, he joined the On tario Regiment as a sergeant in February, 1955. He was posted to his present rank of Warrant Officer, Class 2 in July, 1957, |upon his attachment to the unit as permanent staff. The Skeltons have two girls, Judy, 11, and June, and reside at 88 Sun-| set Drive. : [CANE PRESENTED S One of the highlights of the farewell dinner for Lieutenant Colonel Wotton, Saturday, Nov. 1, was the presentation of a drill cane by Colonel Wotton to Ser- geant Edward Williams, the jun- ior sergeant in the Ontario Regi- |ment. In Sergeant Williams' ab- |sence, the cane was received by Sergeant H. €. Ellegett, who until Williams' promotion, was the junior sergeant in the unit.
