“On Saturday, March 3rd, the men of the 235th Battalion were given a farewell evening, at the Khaki Club. The musical programme was in charge of the Misses Grant assisted by Miss Aileen Jenkins. Bright songs and choruses were sung and the boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The officials of the Club provided and served the refreshments.
A splendid spirit of cheerfulness prevailed even though many a heart was sad; sincere regrets were expressed on all sides at having to say good-bye. The 235th Battalion will not be forgotten in Belleville, a finer, better behaved lot of men have never been in town. The singing of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ and ‘God Save The King’ brought the evening to a close at eleven o’clock.”
