Description

ON WEDNESDAY, January 12, 1916, in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Duart Vercoe McLean enlisted in the 35th Battery. As he had been born on July 9,1898, he was only 17 years old at the time and underage for enlistment. He was attending McGill University in Montreal, where his family lived. He enlisted in the 35th Battery because he was more likely to be accepted into the army there than in Montreal since the Sherbrooke recruiters were reputedly less inquisitive of age. On January 18, 1916 he found out that the 35th Battery had become the 35th Howitzer Battery. Duart McLean's diary was provided to Esprit de Corps by his son, Archie, who himself continued the proud family tradition by also serving his country. This is the third in a series of excerpts from the diary. Thursday, April 6, 1916, Bramshott Camp: Bright but a little cold. Got out for 6:15 a.m. parade and had signalling drill. Was out signalling all day. We've been having terrible meals.
