This fact beingconceded,a short history of one of the oldest and most efficient corps in the mostefficient branch of the service should be welcome to all interested in the CanadianMilitia, as helping to show how the foundations of that efficiency were laid, andhow developed.I venture to express the hopewith allmodesty,and with a livelv appreciationof the defects which must exist in any hurried historical compilationof thischaracter, that this book will prove not merely interesting, but also useful, to themembers of the 3rd Field Battery.Anyone who has taken an intelligent interest in militaryesprit de corps has as much practical effect upon the efficiency of anymilitary organization as has its drill, its dicipline, its interior economy,affairs knows thatkind of aand evenitsequipment.There has always been a sturdy, honest corps spirit in the Montreal FieldBatter}-, officers and men being proud of their batteryand of themselves.I venture to hope that these pages will help to show them that their pridepast record of their fine corps is well founded, and assist in keepingmendable spirit alive in the Batter}- for all time.in thethe com
