Book Description

Excerpt from The Royal Grenadiers: A Regimental History of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Active Militia of Canada As to the chapters on the early history of the 10th Royals, I must express my sense of obli gatien to the regimental history compiled with so much labor by Mr. T. E. Champion in 1896, and which has been invaluable as a work of reference in the preparation of the present volume. 1 have also to thank various officers of the regiment, past and present, for invaluable memoranda and books placed at my disposal, more especially lieut.-cols. Grasett, Mason and Stimson, and Capt. Mont gomery. The completeness of the regimental order books and scrap books testify to the thorough system of interior economy in the regiment and to the industry of a succession of adjutants and the orderly room staff. And it makes the task of the regimental historian a pleasure. The limitations of space have forbidden anything like elaborate treatment of the subject, but such as the volume is, the author trusts that it will be found to convey a fairly complete and readable story of the regiment's organization and growth, and as such will be of some value historically and of direct regimental utility in stimulating the wholesome pride of the officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Grenadiers in their splendid regiment.
