F. Corps. After the war those Canadians will be scattered Avithout cohesion, and faced Avith the necessity of forming a traditionlcss corps, / The spirit, sentiment, and traditions already characteristic of the R.F.C, compel the hope that the force Avill be maintained to the utmost and strenghened The sympahetic co-operation of tho Imperial Government may"'be expected.
