Troublous Times in Canada

CHAPTER XVI
2/11

The discipline and good conduct of the force while on service has secured the approbation of their military commanders, and has been most favorably reported on to the Commander-in-Chief.

The Commander-in-Chief wishes to impress on the minds of the volunteers that, though the late attack on the Province has proved a failure, the organization by means of which it was attempted still exists, and that its leaders do not hesitate to declare publicly that they meditate a renewal of the invasion.

Under these circumstances, the Commander-in-Chief trusts that the volunteer force generally will continue at all convenient times to perfect themselves in drill and discipline, so that they may be able successfully to repel any future aggression that may be attempted.
MAJOR-GENERAL NAPIER'S ORDER.
Major-Gen.

Napier, who commanded the troops in Canada West, returned thanks, in appreciation of their services, by issuing the following:-- BRIGADE OFFICE, TORONTO, June 18th, 1866.
Major-General Napier, C.B., Commanding the First Military District, Canada West, cannot allow the volunteers under his command to return home without tendering them his best thanks for the patriotic way they responded to the Governor-General's call for further services, as well as for their general good conduct whilst in the field.

Although only a few were fortunate enough to be engaged with the enemy, the whole force were equally ready and anxious to meet him.
