Friday the 13th

There was a whole brigade, the Highlanders' Brigade, they had formed the 85th Battalion, as I told you in ‘15, and they trained in Halifax during the winter then they decided to recruit a brigade. So they recruited us 125 th, the 193rd and the 219th, different parts of Nova Scotia, that was the whole Nova Scotia Brigade. We sailed on the Olympia for England, get this one, Friday the 13th of October, we weren’t sure if we were going to be torpedoed before we got there, but we made it.
