Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 16, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba The army. Tho London world indulges in some speculations As to who would be selected to command the army supposing great Britain became involved in the War. After sum Marily dismissing the. Claims of the generals and Liou Contant Gono Nils it proceeds As the names among the major generals have Boon mentioned. The first is that of general Hyson lie is an Active and Able thorough Soldier and to did Good service in Tho Canadian rebellion and to Crimea since which to has not soon any service before an enemy. But if once in is permitted to descend to Tho major generals for a commander sir Garnet Wolseley s name stands out so prominently above All others both from his experience of War his remarkable talents and the popularity which he enjoys in the country at Large that he must infallibly to chosen. There is no Man in the whole army who would so thoroughly command Tho Confidence of the soldiers of modern ideas or who would to so acceptable to Tho country at Large. Lie has seen More campaigns than any other officer in the army and on occasions has commanded most Dill cult expeditions with signal Success. All those who have come directly in con tact with him swear by him and would Fol Low him Blindfold to the death. But he has Cloven his Way through jus contemporaries by his Energy and skill and professional jealousy is aroused against him. It remains to to seen whether the Cabinet if it should have to undertake this great and solemn task will have Tho courage to put aside the Law of seniority in order to choose to most competent Man. If uie selection Wei a left to Tho 1 Torso guards nobody under seventy would have a Chance of command and a boy like sir Garnet Wolseley whom to judge to to just the ago that Wellington Sala Manca would of course be out of the ques Tion but As a suggestion for the would remark that Tho average age of Wel Lington s generals in Tho 1 on insula was Only a trifle Over forty. There is a custom in they fight Well giving the command of Tho National armies to the princes of Tho blood Royal with Tho most Able sol dim a of the Day at their right hand and the heart of Tho British people would throb with Ono huge beat of Joy it it know thut ii to must go to War the 1 Rinco of Wales would take command of Tho army As of the stall in a a female contributor to for june u riling of a state Bull at Coli anti to ple gives this account of the occupant.
