THE LAMPS December he wrote propaganda for the Navy, and fiction for Blackwoods. According to his own admission his greatest achievement was the invention of a drink made of "honey, butter and a lot of rum/' It may have been for that that his D.F.C. was ornamented with two bars. Another outstanding 1914 enlistee, is Lt.-Col. Walter Moorehouse, D.S.O., Croix de Guerre. Like Hallam, the Colonel started out as a machine gun subaltern and eventually soared to the giddy altitude of Lieutenant-Colonelship. Throughout the whole corps Lt.-Col. Moorehouse was known as absolutely efficient. Lest that should lower him in the eyes of the Club, it should be remembered that he was also a gentleman at all times, and took endless chances with his life. When armistice came, he was in command of the Machine Gun depot at Seaford. Lt. Harry Wreford Clarke, M.C., dropped his brush when war started, and decided to seek inspiration in the larger canvas of France. He served as a sergeant in the 20th Battalion, winning his commission, and subsequently the Military Cross for gallantry at Hill 70. Lieut. Clarke also fought in the South African War. Lt.-Col. J. H. Plummer, D.S.O., R.A., who was a retired officer of the R.G.A., wired his services in August 1914 and was on the ocean for England before the war was one week old. For his work on the Portsmouth Fort Defences, and with the 51st Siege Battery in France, he was promoted from Captain to Lt.-Colonel, and given the D.S.O. Colonel Plummer also did valuable work in the Munitions Invention Department. And by no means the least of the "Originals" was George E. Pearson who joined the Princess Pats in August 1914, as a private, though there wasn't a battalion that wouldn't have jumped for him as an officer. He was a runner for both Col. Farquhar and Col. Buller, being at the latter's side when he was killed. He was invalided out in 1916 with spinal meningitis and is now located in Montreal. It is the hope of many of his friends that we shall see some more of his writings soon, for George E. Pearson is one of the real authors of Canada. 18
