The Country Club was at the disposal of visiting officers, who will long remember the evenings spent in the best of fellowship. The ever-present Y.M.C.A. saw to it that commodious huts and writing rooms were furnished in all Canadian flying camps. It is impossible, in short, to imagine any source of pleasure, interest or entertainment which was not provided during these notable months in the history of the brigade.
On the evening before the departure of the R.F.C. a smoking concert was given by U.S. officers to their comrades, an entertainment which was eloquent of the comradeship born of strenuous times of mutual work, and prophetic of that still closer brotherhood which would follow in the days of active service.
The appended copy of a letter from Major-General Kenly reveals his generous appreciation of the effort of the R.F.C. personnel:—
