50 Sth ROYAL SCOTS OF CANADA port. This movennmt was headed by Thomas Gough and Henry Clarke, and the letter they submitted to Major Campbell, mentioned as supporters of the movement, many whose names have since become familiar in the local militia force. Among others, were the following:—G. Imrie, O. Fenwick, J. C. Wilson, C. May, J. Anthony, Thos. Pike, D. Turnbull, J. Pitts, J. Rutherford, H. Gibson, G. Denison, J. Burns, R. A. Kellond, and many others. The body of the document read as follows: "It appears that the Grand Trimk Brigade is to be broken up, and as there are a great number of the men still in favor of holding on to the volunteers, they had a meeting last night and came to the conclusion of form- 5th Royals, and Mr. Fred Lydon, later for some years instructor and adjutant of the Royal Scots, and, at the time, a member of one of the G.T.R. corps, had joined forces with Captain Atkinson. Together they were urging Major Campbell to assume the lead in connection with the reorganization of the 5th Battalion, and to take advantage of the large amount of excellent military material available by the disbandment of the Grand Trunk Brigade. Naturally the proposal which appealed most strongly to Major Campbell was the one to proceed with the reorganization of the 5th Battalion. Most of the Grand Trunk men agreed to support such a movement. Major Campbell, alter consulting with Captain Mackenzie, un- REVIEW OF THE MONTREAL VOLUNTEERS ON LOGAN'S FARM, OCTOBER Uth, 1862. Presentation of the colors, which were the gift of the ladies of Montreal, by Her Excellency Lady Monck, lo the Royals, now the 5th. Royal Scots of Canada. The same colors are still in use. ing an independent battalion. They then appointed a deputation to wait on you, to know if you would have no objection to be their Colonel. If this meets wiih your approval, they will leave the officers to you to appoint, but they want none but gentlemen that will take an interest in their companies. Captain Huddell, from Bonaventure (station), informs us that he can raise two companies. This corps if formed, will be open to any young men to join, and we have no doubt, but before one month, th« battalion will be filled up.v" About this time, Capt. Theo. Atkinson, the prime mover in the reorganization of the 5th, then adjutant of the 6th Hochelaga Light Infantry, was in communication with Major Campbell about the reorganization of the dertook to proceed with the work, and placed his purse and military knowledge unreservedly at the disposal of those willing to assist him. According to the testimony of Major Thomas Atkinson, given a few years before his death, "Had it not been for the part Major Campbell played in the reorganization of his old corps, the Royal Scots of Canada would not be in existence to-day. "I well remember," added Major Atkinson, speaking of this reorganization, "deputation after deputation waiting on him (Major Campbell), and begging him to assume the command, but he steadfastly refu.sed. Even the government could not induce him to accept. The gift of the CO. was in his hands, and it was he that persuaded Lieut. -Colonel J. D. Crawford to take command. He
