Sgt. Martin Complimented

 

Ambulance Sgt. Alex Martin was very highly complimented by colonel Armstrong on having won the individual championship of the Dominion at Ottawa last year and colonel Cruikshank expressed great pride at having one of the best, if not the best, shooting regiments in all Canada under his command. “It reflects great credit” he said “Not only on the regiment but on the sergeants that, while there are only four shooting championships in the Dominion the Calgary Rifles won them all last year.”
