McGILL HONOUR ROLLendeavours to promote enlistment by word and pen, they contributed very largelyin a financial way to the support of the cause. Their first big undertaking was toprovide uniforms and other equipment for the McGill Battalion at a cost of wellover $25,000. Later, as already stated, they undertook to help out the funds of theUniversities Companies, especially the first two, and still later the Siege Batteriesand the 148th Battalion.THE record of McGill in the Great War is surely one of which there is no need to beashamed. To her noble sons who brought her honour through their ungrudgingand valiant service, she owes a debt of gratitude for the rellected glory they haveshed on her name, and for the undying fame which will ever be hers because of thesupreme sacrifice of those of them who .. gave their lives that we might live."EVERY effort has been made to obtain full and correct information for this publicationbut doubtless names have been omitted which should appear, and it is justpossible that some are included which should not, as the information was in manycases indirect, vague and impossible of verification. It may be, too, that therecord of service is not always correctly given. Such mistakes are inseparable froma work of this kind. I t is only hoped that fewer may be found herein than isusually the case.14
