A Walhachin Index
......When war was declared in August 1914, Walhachin possessed a well-established cavalry militia unit. Since 1911, C Squadron, 31st British Columbia Horse, under Captain Rowland Paget, had trained every Wednesday, attended the Vernon Militia Camp each summer, and sent men to Winnipeg in the winter for senior N.C.O. courses. Every man was an accomplished equestrian from years of polo, fox hunts, and racing. Drawn from a population base of less than two hundred, the unit numbered thirty in 1912 and fourteen at the beginning of hostilities.
Throughout that August, Capt. Paget recruited men for the British Columbia Horse in Walhachin, Ashcroft, and Savona. Meanwhile, on parade, during inspections, and on the rifle range, the young men trained and waited in restless anticipation for the call. In these early days of war their greatest fear was to miss the “Great Adventure.”......
