We had eight first class men who had belonged to Canadian fast crews, namely, Lieutenants Alex. Sinclair, Acland, Bickell, Muir, Taylor, Bath, Wilson and Campbell. The crews were arranged according to clubs at home.
My father was sworn to confide them to but one man, and he had chosen Rochecliffe." "I prefer taking the field to any hiding-hole in England," said the King.
