"If I have offended anyone, as I obviously have, all I can) do is apologize profusely and) hope it will be accepted." | Interviewed in his office at Canadian defence headquarters, he said he knew Canadian troops did not break in the face of the first German gas attack at Ypres in 1915 and it was not) his intention to imply that they| had. Veterans of the famous battle have registered strong protest. One 71-year-old veteran in Ham- ilton said he would like to punch Col. Fair on the nose. "T have it coming," Col. Fair said. The article was published in Army magazine. DENIES TROOPS RAN In Vancouver, Maj.-Gen. Vic- tor W. Odlum, one of the few senior Canadian officers who survived the attack, denied that Canadian troops broke and ran. Army is published monthly by the Association of the U.S. Army, a private group closely linked with the army. The of- fending paragraph in the article in the February issue reads: "Gas gave Germany com- plete and tacticle surprise, and the effects against the unprepared and unprotected French colonial and Carra- dian troops were devastat- ing: the Allied troops fled, leaving a gap of 8,000 yards in the line; 15,000 casual- ties resulted, including 5,000 dead; 6,000 allied soldiers were captured; 51 pieces of artillery and 70 machine guns were lost. It could have been worse, but the Ger- mans did not exploit their advantage and during the same night the Allies filled the gap in the lines." Col. Fair agreed the wording used carried the implication 'Relations between our two countries are so good and I have tried to be a goodwill am- ador. This has upset me ter- Col. Fair, 42, is part of a nine-man U.S. military group in Ottawa whose job is to try to standardiz¢d U.S. and Canadian research and development so that the two countries could op- erate effectively together in the event of a war. He)came to Can- ada in July, 1966 He graduated from West Point in 1946 and since that time has been in the Chemical Corps which covers chemical, biologi- cal and radiological weapons. WRITTEN YEAR AGO The article in the current is- sue of Army was written more than a year ago while he was taking a course at the army staff college. He said the re- vulsion to gas warfare that stemmed from the German at- tack at Ypres in 1915 had re- sulted in a general taboo on the subject. The article was a plea for a more open and frank discussion of various types of. gas as mili- tary weapons, The battle at Ypres is prob- ably the greatest Canadian de- fensive battle ever fought, Col. Fair said. As he talked he sketched on a desk pad the Ypres battle- front to show how the Canadian 3rd and 2nd brigades had moved over to fill the gap in the line left by the retreating French colonial troops. He said much has been made of the German inability to mus- ter the reserves to push through the break and drive to the chan- toting guns escaped with about $250,000 from an armored truck.
