Borden has turned out some of the
best fliers that have ever gone to
France.
In May, 1917, l and seventeen other
Canadian fliers left for England on the
Meganic, where we were to qualify
for service in France.
Our squadron consisted of nine

We were all sent TO place In

must confess that we got little i'm

every time new man was called II

probability, been killed, wounded or
captured.
One morning an order came In for
a scout pilot and one of my friends
was assigned. can tell you the rest
OF us were as envious of him as if 1t
were the last chance any of us were
ever going to have to get to the front.
AS it was, however, hardly more than
three hours had elapsed before an
other wire was received at the mess
| and | was ordered to follow my
friend. I afterward learned that as
soon as he arrived at the squadron he
prevailed upon the commanding off
Ger of the squadron to wire for me.
At the Pool Pilots Mess it was the
custom of the officers to wear "shorts"
--Dreeches that are about eight inches
long, like the boy scouts wear, leav-
ing space Of about eight inches Of
open country between the top of the
puttees and the end of the shorts. The
Australians wore them in Saloniki and
at the Dardanelles.
When the order came in for me, I
had these Shorts" on, and l didn't
have time to change into other clothes.
Indeed, / was in such a sweat to get
to the front that if | had been in my
pajamas | think / would have gone
that way. AS it was, it was raining
and | threw an overcoat over me,
jumped into the machine, and we made
record time to the airdrome to which
l had been ordered to report.
AS I alighted from the automobile
my overcoat blew open and displayed
my manly form attired In Shorts" in
stead of in the regulation flying
breeches, and the sight aroused con-
siderable commotion in camp.
"Must be Yankee" I overheard
one officer say to another as | APP

But they laughed good-naturedly as

to the squadron, and was soon very
much at home.
My squadron was one Of four sta

miles back of the Ypres line. There

was scout squadron, scout machines

A scout, sometimes called q fighting

But this same Providence which
