CANADIAN MOUNTIES
NOW IN BRITAIN
Canada's famous "Mounties," who always i; get their man," are playing fin important part in the defence of Britain. They are members of the Canadian Millitarv Police Company, the only unit in the Canadian Army which has no privates in it —every man lias at least one stripe. The company is playing an important part in defence manoeuvres which the Canadian Arnij'- in England is carrying out. Setting out in advnncc on motor cycles, the military police erect spe?i ally-designed signs arid dimmed lights at all major inter-sections where thev maintain traffic control posts night and day. The security and mobility of thousands of troops and hundreds of vehicles may depend upon the efTh ciency of their control. In actual operations the military police must be front-line troop"?, moving ahead of main formations, plotting the way, and seeing that units are guided to the right locations. They are also responsible for taking charge of prisoners of war. The Canadian Military Police Company now in England is completely self-contained, and carries its own food, petrol, ammunition, blankets and other equipment.
