Excerpt from The Civilian, Vol. 12: Devoted to the Interests of the Civil Service of Canada; April, 1919

Ou the night of the ninth of August, 1918, the wires carried to England news that lieut.-col. Bent, commanding the 15th Battalion, had been severely wounded in the great drive against the Huns.

N ot least interested in the tidings was Major John Pellanda Girvan, second in command of the battalion, who had been married just a few days before to Nursing Sister J ean Sword, of Owen Sound. To break off a honeymoon in order to lead a battalion of battling Highlanders in the big push, with all the attendant risk and hardship, was no small thing, but both Major Girvan and his bride were soldiers, and so the Toronto Scots soon had their major at their head and were headed towards the Rhine.
