Says Army Volunteers

Would Not Object To
Fighting With Conscripts

Col. F. J. Thorne Tells Audience of

Experience in Italy.

“One of the most important
things to be considered is the
frame of mind of the Canadian
soldier, and at present that is
tremendously high. There is no
better soldier in the world,” said
Lt.-Colonel F. J. Thorne, M.C.,
and ‘bar, O.B.E., well known in
‘this district and resident of Dun-
van, when he spoke to a group of
some 50 friends who gathered at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Aikins, Naramata, to hear this
veteran of the first World War,
who has recently returned from
Italy. .

“Speaking. for my regiment,”
Col. Thorne continued, “there is
just one thing that they are afraid
of, and that is that the chaps who
haven’ t done any fighting will. be
‘demobbed’ first and get the good
jobs. If our fighting men are not
released in reasonable time after
hostilities cease there is going to
be trouble. They think that the
other fellows, the home defence

‘foree, should: have a crack at.

things for a change.”
When asked if the average sol-
dier minds fighting alongside a

conscript the speaker ‘replied -
“they don’t. mind anything as long .
as they are relieved. The rein-

forcement situation is bad.”
. Col. Thorne ‘told his hearers he
«would. describe, in part, the- tak-

ing of: Casino. and the breaching
» of the Hitler line, and-asked them |.

most vivid memories I have of my
younger days there was when my
brother, Harold, (now in Vic-

of trouble, climbed up on the‘ oald-
fashioned firebell, an iron .triangle
hanging outside one of the stores
on Queens, no I think it’s Beacon

triangle with a bar until the hoss
