COLONEL PECK —
| MAY CONMAND
OLD BATTALION

Ottawa is Asked to Give Him
Appointment With Headquar-
ters in Victoria.

The 16th Baltdlion Iecated at
Victoria has written to Ottawa
asking that Lieut.-Col. C. W. Peck,
V-C., M.P., be appointed ollicer

 

 

commanding. The action was
taken at a meeting last week in
the Pemberton Building The

following is the report of the
meeting as given in the Victoria
Times:

“A campaign to rouse interest
in the famous unit will be com-
menced immediately by the 16th
Battalion whose headquarters, as
a result of a recent d@cision, are
to be in Victoria.

“Phe necessity of letting the
public know of the real honor
which has been bestowed upon
Victoria by the placing of the
16th headquarters here was
reached at a meeting of veterans
last night in. the Pemberton
Building. It was decided that a
committee of three would wait
upon His Honor the Lieutenant-
Governor, the Premier, the Mayor
and City Council, the Rotary and
Kiwanis Clubs and other public
bodies with a view to stimulat-
ing enthusiasm in the celebrated
unit.

“Captain Dewar occupied the
chair last night and was support-
ed by Captain “Syd” Johnston, the
adjutant regiment, and Sergeant
Darke. The two latter with Lieut.-
Col. Lorne Ross, whose activity

in the interests of the unit's
continued exfstence in Victoria
was fully acknowledged, are to

form the committee to interview
the organizations named. At the
suggestion of those present at the
meeting, all others of the 16th
Battalion Association are to fonm
a “boosting” club for the or-
ganization:

“The meeting decided to write
to Ottawa ‘and voice approval of
Colonel Peck, V.C., M. P., as 0.C.’

Finances also were discussed
at the meeting, which heard with
considerable gratification of the
considerable sums of money on

hand.” :
