" When, on the 22nd of July, 1940 lt.-Col. J.B. Stewart, E.D., received a telegram confirming the mobilization order which called forth the Algonquins to active service, his mind must have retraced briefly the long, uphill fight to reach this coveted place, a fight for which he himself had been so particularily concerned for a quarter of a century. ..."
