"TRAINING IN CAMP SHOULD BE LONGER," Ottawa Citizen. June 27, 1913. Page 1. --- Our Soldiers Should Have More Time Thinks Lord Brooke. ---- "You have splendid material here in Canada, much better I should say than we have in Britain, but you are in more need of training, and I think you should have a 16 days' period of military camp instead of but eight."

In these words Lord Brooke, the British territorial officer who was one of those who exchanged with Canadian officers through Col. Sam Hughes' plan for interdiffusion of the military experience of both countries, this morning expressed his view of Canadian militia training as gathered during his command of the 2nd cavalry brigade at Petawawa military camp during the last two weeks.

Lord Brooke, Major Howard Vyse- who acted as his brigade major-and Captain Bell, a Canadian officer, arrived in the city this morning and are registered at the Chateau. Both the British officers were most enthusiastic over the results of the interchange in their own case and highly complimentary to the minister of militia for originating the plan.

MATERIAL IS GOOD. "Your material is good," said Lord Brooke. "Your men are more acute and appear to pay more attention to orders than ours: they display an un- usual amount of zeal. Under the circumstances I should think it a great pity that the period of training is not sixteen days, for the men are Just beginning to learn when they break up camp. Of course they ane pot so well trained as our territorial forces; how could they? We have permanent headquarters in every town, clubs as you might say, and our men have 70 or 80 drills a year before they even go to camp. But then we are an older country and our distances are ever so much smaller.

"What do I think of the dry canteen? Well, we haven't it in England, but for all that 60 per cent of our regular forces are teetotallers. It is wonderful how British people have ceased to drink during the last two decades, and I don't think it's temperance preaching so much as education that is doing it.

"Personally I think it's better to convince a man that it is harmful for him to drink than to prevent him from doing it in camp when unfortunately the bars are open in nearby places. We are doing the former in England because we are making the soldier's life a better one.

"It's a splendid idea of Col. Hughes, this interchange of officers. It is going to do us good, and no doubt it will do your Canadian officers benefit when they go to Britain."

The Petwawa River (Pt. 1 Petawawa Guarrison)

The 3RCR, a regiment at Petawawa, headquaters

This is the first thread on this blog about my Top Ten places I visited where I write to you, readers, about my experiences, enjoy! As a part of an opportunity I have received this summer from army cadets, I have had the chance to visit the magnificent Petawawa river. The Petawawa river is located in the northern part of Algonquin park next to the city of Petawawa which is around 2 hours from Ottawa. Throughout this experience, I’ve had the chance to stay at the Petawawa Garrison, bike from the base to the river and canoe the whole length of the river with rapids while camping for 10 days. On this blog, I will cover my stay at the Petawawa garrison.

Rooms in the shacks!

My trip to Petawawa started when me and 35 other cadets and 7 adult staff arrived to stay at the barracks in the city’s military base where we stayed to practice canoeing through rapids. The shacks, as the military personnel call them, were very spacious. They weren’t necessarily cozy, but they were comfortable as they contained 4 huge beds for 4 people per room with 2 windows, 4 wardrobes and 4 bed stands with outlets. Bathrooms were located on the other side of the corridor and were very well kept. My only complaint is that there is not much privacy because the bathroom door was always open and everything was visible from the corridor.

The mess hall at the Petawawa Garrison.

The mess hall at the garrison was just fantastic. The military really knows how to feed their members because it always raises morale to go to the mess hall due to the food being always great. The best meal was supper where they fed meals like lamb chops in a sauce or steaks with cranberries which was something to look forward to at the end of the day. In addition to that, there were always different types of desserts, a salad bar and juice dispensers. As a part of my stay in the Petawawa Garrison, me and the rest of the group biked to the fast moving Petawawa river to practice how to canoe through rapids and how to swim through them if the canoe tipped over. It was fun because I learned interesting different canoestrokes to use through fast moving water and what swim position to adopt if a canoe tips in that water.

This is me swimming in the river!

Stay tuned for the second part of this blog next week when I’m going to cover the trip along the whole Petawawa river.

"PETAWAWA IS AN IDEAL CAMP," St. Catharines Standard. June 19, 1912. Page 8. ---- Five Thousand Men of the Canadian Militia Are Now Training There Under the Most Favorable Conditions --- Petawawa, Military Camp, June 17 - Petawawa camp has been one of the busiest spots in Canada during the past few days, and will remain so for three or four weeks more, It is probably the most complete and active camp of any that have been held in the big national maneuvering ground. On the high undulating ground overlooking the Ottawa river, there is pitched a writable city of canvas about four miles long and two and a half miles wide. One British Military camp differs from another very little in anything but magnitude. At the Petawawa camp now there are the neat gun parks with their rows of tents and horses; the cavalry lines with their long stretches of horses and tidy rows of saddles; and bunched up clusters of tents of the infantry, etc., all in'd out with the regularity and order prescribed in the regulations of the Canadian Militia.

But the Petawawa camp is more than a transitory camping ground; Its permanent equipment is very complete. A water service is extended to all lines. The supply comes from the Ottawa River and is forced up to service tanks at intervals tong the grounds. The pumping is done by the Government power house. There are also permanent administrative buildings for the camp commandant and staff and special sidings to accommodate all trains brought to the camp.

For watering horses and washing places for the troops each regiment is equipped in its own lines, even to shower baths, which, it may be said, are used freely.

SPLENDID CAMP. Petawawa is a camp ground of which any, nation might to proud. It is magnificent in extent and the ground admirably adapted to the work. It is very sandy and the heaviest showers of rain are absorbed almost immediately and a few touches of sunshine dry up the ground in a very short time. They are splendid ranges for both rifle and big gun practice. The air of the plains is remarkably clear and healthy and the scenery at the bank of the Ottawa river is full of beauty and natural charm.

About five thousand men are in camp. A feature of this camp is the inaugaration of a complete postal service under the management of the Canadian Postal Corps. These engaged in this work are Lacut. F. D. Sharman of London, Ont.; Ptes. J. J. Fair and H. Kitcheman of Ottawa.

Six collection boxes are placed at different points in the camp. Two collections are made daily and deliveries of mail to each unit. A special cart is provided for this work and H. Kitcheman, formerly a gunner in "D" Special Service battery in Africa, attends to the outdoor duty. The head office also issues postal notes and sells stamps. The service Is well managed and greatly appreciated in the camp.
