The bigger mystery about the withdrawal from France in 1940 is what happened to the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment's wooden indian mascot. A 6 foot tall colourful beauty it was. It traveled from the roof of a Picton, Ontario canning plant (stolen of course) to England and thence to France. Not risking that it might fall into enemy hands it was hidden. Rumors suggest it was found by some incredulous French farmer but that remains only a rumor.
