It should be noted that the band was considerably augmented when in France; and that one member, T. B. Davidson, died, while Ben. Hichens and H. Luscomb were killed in action. It should also be noted that the 85th returned officers and men organized, under the name “The 85th Clansmen,” and “The 85th Memory Club,” to perpetuate the name of the Battalion and the memory of the fallen by reunions on the days of the engagements in which the Battalion took part.—L. CHAPTER XV. _106th BATTALION, C.E.F._ [Illustration: LIEUT.-COL. R. INNES.] The 106th Battalion, Nova Scotia Rifles, was authorized on November 8, 1915, and recruiting commenced at once. Being the first Rifle Battalion recruited in the Maritime Provinces, it appealed strongly to the members of the various rifle clubs and was soon up to strength. The standards of the Battalion were high. Regimental schools for the training of non-commissioned officers were established. The motto of the Battalion was “None So Reliable,” and all ranks sought to make the Battalion worthy to bear such a name. Headquarters were established at Truro, where two Companies were stationed; the other two Companies were stationed at Springhill and Truro. [Illustration: LIEUT. W. R.
