Engineering Instructor

I was up in Petawawa at an engineer training center as a lieutenant. I got a commission as a lieutenant. I had about a four months engineer training and then I got a platoon and a training company so I started training the troops and I don’t know if it was because of my First War experience or what it was but I later got a company, a training company, No. 1 Company that they kept records, the training records of all the troops, you got a new bunch of troops coming there every month and they kept training records and for seven straight months all except one, I had the best record in training troops. Morale was excellent, you see, and the NCO’s, whenever you got a good man for an NCO, you send them through the schools of instruction and everything like that and then they would come back and you’d make him a lance, well you didn’t have to do that for a lance corporal, you’d make him a corporal or a sergeant or something so all the NCO’s were all trained by me and I’m not bragging here, I turned out troops that had the highest morale of anybody going out of that camp.
