A
word may be said here as to the volunteer military organizations which
have their headquarters in Toronto. Foremost among these is the
historical Queen's Own, to whose experiences at Ridgeway reference has
already more than once been made, and whose share in that unfortunate
business has forever endeared them to their fellow-citizens. The Tenth
Royal Grenadiers, since their reorganization two years ago, are a
magnificent regiment, and at the time of their annual inspection last
November, were the subject of most gratifying criticisms by the
Major-General in command of the forces. Other military bodies arc the
Governor-General's Body Guard—glittering warriors in scarlet coats and
burnished helmets; the Toronto Field Battery, the Toronto Garrison
Artillery, the Ontario Rifle Association, and the recently established
School of Infantry. |
