APPENDIX No. 5
.ANNUAL H.RPORT ON Tilg REG[MENT OF CANADIAN ARTH.1LERY.
[OTTAWA, December, 1883.
SrR,-1 have the tho honor to report that since my appointment to tho command of this Re~imont, on the 10th August, J have made a clo~e and detailed in~poction of both the .1:3a.tteries of which it i1:1 as present composed, and of the Royal ::;chools of
Gunner_,. attached tberot.:>. 1. 'rho result:-; of my inspection:; ha•o satisfied me that, with tho exception of a
few minor points of detail in the a.dminietrntioo of interior economy, in which a difference of practice hu1:1 oxi,.,tod, the sy::.tem pursued in each lhttery is in ::.t.rict Accordanco with tho Hogulat.ion and Orders tor the ~1ilitiu and with tho Queen~· Regulations . The publicntion of revised Standing Orde1·s for tho Regiment will ini;uro for the future nn exact uniformity in all matters of administrative detail.
2. The i.;ystem of instruction ha'l, howe•er. not boon :-o uniform n!; i dci;irable, and in consequence l found it. necei-;.ary to i-.r;ne a Syllabu'3 of ln .. trnction, :lpplic:tble to :i.U ranks at the Royal Schooli; of Gunnery. ( lricle Regimental Ordera ho1·ewilb). Tho yery important shate iu 1.he ~11,,trllction ol Officers, N.-C. Officer~ nnd men !tttucbod to thc:;o B:it.torie::;, which devo\Ye:l upon tho OtlicorR belonging to the Regiment, <loci\ not seem lo hose been ns universally recognized all it t-houl1l have boen, and us any failure in this respect ro-act.;;, not only upon tho nuturo of the int>truction gi..-on, but all'IO upon tho goncrn.1 estimation in which these Sch?ol.i are held, it i-1 of the g1·on.test importunce tbnt all first appointments to the pcrm:\ncnt o•tabli:-hmont of Oflil!crs of the Regiment tihould not only be of such a p1·ovisional nature as to dcpeocl upon ultimate qualification, but shonld n.\so have e-1pocial reference to the fitr ncss and ability of the in<li\"idunl to acquire nnd impart the nece••ary instruction, and to mnintain in u. propor manner tho poiilion which n. oommit>! ion in thb Gorp .d'elite nocc ... sarily involvoQ. 3. I regret to report that very groat difficulty is experienced at Quebec in ob-taining a i;ull1cienl supply of elogiblt3 recruits, tho Battery stationed there htwing been from 10 lo 20 under iL'I authorized e~tablishmont throughout the year. At Kingiton, from il" more central 1>ituntion, there is naturally not uch difficulty in obtaining recruit.'>, but Lieut.-Col. Montiumbert reportil th:\I. tho bc-.t c\a .. s of young men do not como forYrnr<l, and there i9 no 1loubt but that owing to tho pro•ent ~talo of tho l!\bou1· mnrket and exiKting rate of \vage~, the pny offored to .. oldiors i'3 not

2. I inspected this company on 30th June, on St. Ilelen't! I:-lnnd. Mujcir 1\.enne<ly wai; in command. There were present on parade 2 officer" and .t .i:T.
C. Officers and sappert! out of a to1al r-trength of 3 Olliccrh and 58 ~- C. OfilclH and sapper8 borne on the rolls. One N. C. Officer and 1 sapper were nb:;ent with leave.
. 3. ~he work of tho d.ny \vns c·nrricd out. accord!ng to n programme propnred hy liaJOr l\.ennedy. Marcbrng 1•at-t and Infantry drill were well done, particularly some volley firing. 'J'he turn out o[ tho Company wns good nnd their arm" wci e
clean. 4. Lieut. Thomp0 on and n few men executed a Jillie flo~ sicrnallin"; they LnJ picked up a knowledge of the 11 t or", and could signal worda. hut° never ('">having hail any book of instructions they were not acquainted with the " method" of ~igrnllin~. Their flags, also, were not suitn ble for tho work. Io the foce of these difficultiet> it coul l not be expected that they could arrive at real efficien<'Y·
5. Tho Company next went to barrel pier exercit>e; two barrel piers were con-structed in good ti mo, tho lnshing1:1 being carefully made; tho pier,, were formed intn s. raft, which was moved abouL to reprc::;ent formation into bridge. The whole of
this work wns well done. 6. I in8pected the Engineerin~ woi·ks executed hy tho Company duiin~ their training, consisting of n trestle bl'idgc, two pun pit" con,·erted into a battery, n broad arrow kitchen and o. filter for Cump u ... e. The work of the trf"tlo bridge Wlb >ery rou~b, but on a'lking questions of tho N.-C. Otncen1 nnd t:-npper~, I found that they hnd nn intelligent knnwlcdge of their work. 'l'he other works were well executed.

my questions about tho work. 9. I further int'pectcd tho armory nnd drill room. Mojor 1\ooncdy ha~ ma•lo capital arrangements for focilitnLing instruction in 'Engineer wor1' in-door". I wn;i much pion.Red to lonrn that 11omc ot tho Company h:\d put in a:-! many a sixty drill~ durin_g tho past twolvo month~, which "bow" ~rent inton,...,t in tho work .

pany. They havo long rifles, which arn in vory bad c:oncition, und which htt\'O hccn ordered ~o be returned into storo, wilh a viow to being examined n.nd repaired. 'fbo ammunition pouches and bells aro of most nntiqunto<l p:>.tte1·n, and mnny arc quito un?'erviceable. I would sugg. st that the opportunity be taken when tho arm:. nro taken into store, to roplace them with tho short rifio and more modern ammunition pouch. Major Vince is t;p:u ing no p:iin:i to m .. kc hi'j Comp~ny efficient Bnginoer~, no(! it wonld be a well-doservo<l ,•ncuuragement lo gi\o him a proper equipment.

efficiency of the Engineer force. :!5. Fir:;t, ns regmd-, training: twel\"C days l1aving heen th:cd a:. tho timo
nec·c:;snry for 1hc training of infantry c:m-p~, it mu::t bo allowed thnt it cannot ho -,utfic·ient for the trainin~ of EngineerR, who must be goo<l soldier:> before lhoy can bo goo1l Engineers. The lale:,t rc.~tilaliona for tho liiliti;.l of Gr '!lt Britnin (is·uo of 1 88:~) lay down (Part I., i:cc. lII., pago 273) thnt, whereas tho ordinary pori~l for training for Infantry and Artillery Militia shall be twolnty-sevon day:;, tho ordinary pel'iol for :Engineers shall bo forty-0no day'!. I would urgo th·\t tho Engineer. Companies be allowed to train for ihe longe!:>t period allowed by the Act, Y17.. : ..,ixtcen dapi. I would further urge that any Companies nblo t-0 do so, be nllowod to come to Kingston for tru.inincr on n<'coont of the facilities for obtaining ini:;truction there. If this cann~t bo done ft would be nn adynntarro to hnvc the Brighton nud Charlotte·
' 0 ~ f k" town Engineers trui not.I nt the same Cump; this would nllow o strong wCJr mg parties being formed, and, consequently, more work bci~g .. dono ''foll" in.;;toad of "model" size; modelling, though most u,,eful n: an "md, cannot tako .the plnc.o of full sized work. It i~ necessary that both OfficcrH nnd men should g~m oxp~rionco in the mnnngomont of working pnrtios and in the propor .~ode ot ?:irn~ol1n~ ''heavy" work. As tbc:ie two Compunies belong to tho nmo )[1hlary D.t>tnct, 1t. would probably not bo ditlieult to arrnnge for their training in tho .. ~me Camp.
26. I would next invito attontion to the ropeato-l rocomroondntion~ of my prodece:1sor, that :1omo extra. pny bo granlod to Engineer~.

30. Thero bcinrr onh· throe E1 gineor Comp:\llic.s in tho Dominion (a number by lnr too c:mnll) I m~tld 1=ccommcnd~ that cneh Company be allowed to recruit up to 'iO N. '. Officcrq and ... apporR.

In the British Militia l~ngincers (nnd abo in tho regular Pcr,ico) can~n,, frrn.:k::. and trowsers, to be worn O\"CJ' tho ordinary uniform, are ~np_:ilicd (lli!itin Hognlntion-., P;irt Ilf., sec. 1, page 962).

~2. The que:.ti in of the promotion of tho Offi~crs of tho Engineer 1 omp:mic demnnd., con~iJorntion. It :-honVl not bo slower t.han that of other urnnchc of tho Scr\"iCc. At present there is no opportunity for an Officer to holJ higher hub:.t.nnti\"e rank than ti.int of Captain. I would recommend that tho Oompnnio:; ohonld he commanded by Majors and should have, in addition, a "aptnin and two !'111.ialterns ifoYcr 50 ~tron~. and a Captain and one imbaltorn (~r two uli:iltc1 rh iftbo Olli ·cr.i nre only of "hort Hordce) if under. The respons1-biliti of nn Oflice1 commanding n Co1·p,, of Bn~inocn; are certainly as groat as th~so of the Injo1 of a lhttalion. Ou se1 vice, the Officer,, of Engineer Companies are lD·
ten led to do much .. pccial work under tho Commanding Engineer in addition to the work connected with their Companie~, and there i.; therefore tho more need for a largo pt Op<>rtion of om ·erR. An Bngincer Company ohould also have a largo amount of tore to l'!°k n!tcr. I would sugge~t that no ubaltero now serving be promoted. to tho rnnk of Capuun who has not obtained, ut le~t, a short cour::io cel'hficato of Ill· truc~ion in r:lomcutnry Military Engineering, and that in future subalterns be only
uppomtrd on probation until they havoobtaino<l the certificate. . 3~. I ,~·oul<l furthel' ,;ugge~t th:it where Engineer Companies arc in Campo~ lll·
litrnct1oa with other Lrnncbcs of tho '<Ol'\"ice, the i-enior Engineer Officer be roqu1rod to do tho dutic of Commanding Engineer, a regards controlling the Camp arrange· mo1 ts, for water supply, ~anitation, communication .. , &r., thus practising in timo of J o:ico tho dutio9 he would have to perform on :-crvicc i the actual work would, of courec, bc1lorio by tho i;cn:ral Corps, M heretofore.
