In the army

I came back here and I joined the militia and Colonel Germaine was in command. He asked me to his assistant adjutant. I was RSM in the military and he asked me to join the, to take up the assistant adjutant’s job. Well, I hesitated, I didn’t want to do it. I wasn’t fussy about a commission and then I changed my mind and I took it. And then I was adjutant and then I was company commander and I was a major. I was a captain adjutant and then company commander major, and then I, when the Second World War broke out, Colonel Quinn called me up. I was up in Prince Albert checking CPR accounts. He called me up in 1940 to join the training centre. So I joined the 120th Training Centre in Regina and I eventually became second-in-command there under Quinn. I was in the army from 1905, you can say, till 1945.
