Overseas Contingent Mobilize at Perth

The Gallant 42nd

It is a far cry to 100 years back.  When Waterloo had been won by the British and a degree of freedom accrued for the democratic process Perth then came into being as a military settlement and was peopled by discharged soldiers and officers.  For many years the old town maintained the martial customs and aspirations and now 100 years later with a second Waterloo looming in sight, Perth is again a center for military organization.  The two synchronize in a very nice way and are worthy of a niche of memory every citizen brings to bear on the struggle in Europe .

Not only on this occasion but in the Fenian Raid times Perth was headquarters for troops volunteering for service on the country’s behalf.  When the call came to mobilize a Canadian Expeditionary Force of 21,000, Colonel Balderson was among the first to volunteer his service and that of the 42nd.  The Colonel was enlisted to raise a company of 125 men from his regiment in Lanark and Renfrew.  The 42nd is one of the best rural regiments in Canada and the recruitment officers were not long in enrolling the required number.  In fact, nearly 175 officers and men volunteered and enlisted for the overseas force.  They enrolled at Lanark, Perth, Smith’s Falls, Carleton Place, Almonte, Renfrew, Arnprior, Pembroke and last Saturday were mobilized at Perth.  They arrived on the noon train, paraded the streets, and went into camp at the new exposition grounds where they remained until tonight when they entrained and left for Valcartier at Quebec to join the other details of the overseas force.  The 42nd are represented in this expeditionary force as a fine and uniform body of men as can be found anywhere and can be counted on to give a good account of themselves abroad.

The overseas contingent of the 42nd contains a number of our veterans of former wars Great Britain was concerned in.

Captain Hooper saw active service in the S. African War in 1909 (?) and has the Quebec medal and three clasps.

Orderly Sgt. J. Larkin, Renfrew, has 6 years imperial service, South Africa 1900-02, Queen’s and King’s medals.

Sgt. P. S. Flinter, Pembroke, has 14 years imperial service, Sudan 1898 with Kitchenor to Khartum, Queen’s medal and Khedive clasps of Khartum, occupation of Crete 1898-99, South Africa 1899-1902, Queen’s medal with four clasps and King’s medal with two clasps.

Pte. W. G. Ormsky, Pembroke, five years imperial service, 1st Royal Dragoons.

Pte. F. Prior, Smith’s Falls, S. Africa 1900, Queen’s medal, one clasp.

Pte. A. Crookford, Pembroke, imperial service six and one half years, Royal Marines.

Pte. A. Scrimminger, Pembroke, 21 years imperial service Royal Navy.

Col. Sgt. W. E. Wright wears the colonial long service medal.

Quartermaster Sgt. G. T. Kerr, Perth , saw active service S. Africa in the Stratehona Horse under Col. Steele and also in the Constabulary for volunteering his services

Lts. J. R. Morris, Pembroke, Lts. Denisthorpe, Gardner and Malloch of Arnprior go to Valcartier with the troops.

Casualty list, local boys

Canada has begun to realize what war means.  In the violent German offensive where the Allies and Canadians prevented a disaster at great cost—22 officers killed and 64 wounded but as yet getting definite casualty lists for the enlisted men is not possible.  The British estimate is ten men for each officer.  Of the above, the local boys are: 

Capt. W. H. V. Hooper, Carleton Place , is missing.

Lt. C.R. Scott, Perth , is missing

Both above from the 2nd Batt.

From the 4th Batt. Lt. Col. W. B. Buelle, Brockville , killed

Lt. C.W. Day, Kingston   (transcriber’s note, not sure if Lt. Day was killed or wounded or missing)

Perth ’s Fitting Tribune

Last Saturday night St. Andrew’s Church service was a never to be forgotten experience by the hundreds of citizens from town and country who gathered therein.  It was the occasion of the memorial service in memory of Sgt. Major Wm. E. Wright and Lt. Clyde Rutherford Scott, both Perth boys who had been reported killed at the Battle Langemark last month.  The death of the former has been understood to have been made officially certain but glad news was received Sunday afternoon by cable to his father, Rev. A. H. Scott that his son was a German prisoner and in the flesh.  This news was soon spread around Perth and caused general rejoicing.  The service on Sunday was therefore carried out in honor of Sgt. Major Wright.

Letter to his mother from Corp. William L. McGilvery

North Camp Ward 7 Aldershot , England

Dear Mother:

I suppose you have received the card saying I was wounded.  It was sent shortly after I came out of the trench.  This is the first piece of paper I could get hold of.  One of the boys here in the hospital gave it to me.  We boys of the old 32nd were sent to France May 2 from Shorncliffe and after a few days rest joined the 5th Batt.  As we were sent out as reinforcements May 19, we moved up into the reserve trenches  and for five days listened to the heavy shells bursting and whistling over our heads and great pieces of iron cutting the branches off the trees not 20 feet from where we were.  On the 21st we were ordered to go and dig a trench between our front trench and the Germans. We thought right then here is where some of us might make our happy home.  That night about midnight we crept along our trench for one and a half miles and then turned out toward the German lines to do our duty and meet the worst if it was to come but God was with us for although the Germans turned their powerful torchlights on us not a single shot was fired and we all got back safe except an officer who was shot by a sniper on our way back.  The rest of the day we rested in the reserve trench then on the 23rd we marched about two and a half miles back where we were supposed to have a couple of days rest.  So we all went to bed quite happy and fell asleep only to be awakened at 1:00 am by the order “Fall in on the double.”  In a few minutes all was ready and we marched to that never to be forgotten battlefield at Fostubert.  There were trenches to take that morning and it was up to the Canadians to do it and they did it but at what a cost.  As soon as the Germans were driven back their artillery opened up on our trench and simply cut it to pieces.  They can say the Germans are short of shells but believe me if they are, they handle what they have got very carelessly for they handed us about 25 high explosive shells every minute and every one has a history of its own.  How we got out of there alive is more than I can tell.  Comrades were killed and cut to pieces all around us.  Great splatters of blood every time a shell burst.  I shut my eyes not that I was afraid, mother, but I knew the result and did not want to see it.  I stood to the one place over two hours and waited for the shell burst that would claim me, when over it came and burst just about twelve feet to the right of me and a piece of the steel case of the shell caught me in the right side of the breast and I came down off my roost.  It was the concussion of the explosion that knocked me down I guess for I soon got up again and looked for cover.  I could feel my right breast stinging and my whole side felt warm. When I opened my shirt I soon found out why it was warm it was painted red with blood.  One of the boys helped me put on the first aid dressing and I started to crawl for the nearest way out.  It was only 300 yards to where I would be safe but it was a hard road to make for several hundred yards.  There was no cover and a German sniper placed a machine gun on every man that went in or every wounded man who went out.  I had to crawl over dead comrades lying there, their heads covered with blood.  As I came up to one of them I said “Good old Hero you did your best”, but just then a sniper cut loose and I stopped crawling and lay close to the ground my head about a foot from my dead comrade.  I turned my eyes to see if I might know him and it was then, mother, that my eyes bulged out of my head.  I could not speak, it was one of my own section, one of my best boys we had been together since the 10th of last November.  The sniper had shot him through the temple it was then that I wished the German snipers all the hell and damnation that could be given to them.  I just shut my eyes and crawled along until I got behind the next trench and out on the road that runs through Festubert to the first aid hospital.  I was only there a short time then to Boulogne and stayed there two days and then was put on the hospital ship Salts, crossed the English Channel and landed at Southampton and then boarded a train and came to Connaught Hospital, Aldershot where I have been for some time.  My chest has a big hole in it and is very swollen but it is nice and clean.  I had to have an operation in Boulogne so I am to bed at present. Bert McLean and I have not been together for some time.  Every battalion has been badly cut up and perhaps Bert is in some hospital.  You remember the picture I sent you of my friend Lt. McKay.  He was killed.  Poor Mac was well known and everybody liked him and will be sorry to hear of his passing the Great Divide.  He led his men like a brick and was afraid of nothing.  He was in charge of the bomb throwers and while standing on a German trench giving orders to his men he was shot with a rifle.

Three Nephews at the Front

The liner Grampian has just arrived safely in port at England , carrying some 12,000 Canadian troops.  Mrs. G. B. Farmer of Perth was interested in its safe journey as her nephew Dr. J. S. McCallum of Vancouver was one of the soldiers aboard the liner.  Another nephew of Mrs. Farmer and who is a brother of Dr. McCallum has been on the battle line for some time and still another brother, George McCallum has enlisted from Ottawa and will likely be called to the front in the near future.

Perth Courier, July 23, 1915

Arthur Code, of No. 1 Canadian Engineers, arrived at his home in town on Tuesday night having come from Bagthorpe Hospital, Nottingham, England, where he had been confined with the loss of his right eye.  He was struck with a piece of shrapnel  in the Langemarck battle.  He sailed with a party of returning Canadian soldiers on the Scandanavian liner and arrived in Montreal on Tuesday.  It was at the Battle of Langemarck that the Germans first used the gas and Arthur was first struck in the right eye with the shrapnel and on top of this the great clouds of gas came floating towards the troops and he knew nothing more until he found himself in the Boulogne Hospital very sick between the wound and the inhaling of the noxious gas.  He has the piece of shrapnel  that was responsible for the loss of his eye, the doctors having left it in its position to the bottom of the eye for several days in the hope that it would not be necessary to remove the eye, however, later complications caused the removal of the eye and the piece of shrapnel.  He is not by any means inclined to make much of his wound but is extremely proud of the fact that General Smith Darrien had warmly eulogized the engineers and considered them so capable that it was not thought necessary to send detachments of regulars to the front with them. He says “it is simply amazing near the firing line.  Some of the farmers plough within 150 yards of the trenches apparently undisturbed by the flying shells and they simply do not leave until they are driven out.  They would even then come to the trenches and get busy selling garden truck to the men.  They seemed so used to the firing line that they took no notice of it—of course some of them got killed but the rest kept on”.
