To - The Right Hon. Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal
London, England.
My Lord,
I have the honour to recommend that Lieut. Col. Biggar be attached to this Corps as a Special Service Officer.
I may say that Col Bigger was sent out to South Africa to take a course of training with the Army Service Corps. He sailed with us on the "Monterey" and since his arrival at the Cape has been acting nearly altogether in the interests of the Regiment, looking after the stores, our sick, and in fact everything we required at the Base he has been most painstaking to attend to.
During the voyage over Col. Biggar was very popular with the men and if it could be arranged to attach him to the Regt. I am sure it would meet with general approval and be a fitting reward for the trouble he has taken in the interests of the Regiment.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
S. B. STEELE, Lt. Col.
Commanding "Strathcona's Horse"
