D'Arcy MC they always considered themselves to be 90th Battalion Winnipeg Rifles, the "Little Black Devil's", something my grandfather was as it dates to the Northwest Rebellion of 1885 and he served. with them. I have a Stainless Steel Canteen with both the "Little Black Devil's" insignia stamped on it as well as A.S.BAIRD 90th Batt. On Feb 11, 1928 my father Norman "Stuart" D'Arcy was born having been named after my grandfather's best chum Andrew "Stuart" Baird.
