Bertram, Col. Cantlie, and Col. Carnegie, who acted in conjunction with the experts of the Militia Department.\u00a0 They developed a plan to distribute the orders amongst the various shops in Canada which had the proper lathes and presses. It worked successfully, with the result that about $5,000,000 has been distributed amongst the firms of Canada.\u00a0 The money comes from the allies.\u201d\u00a0 <a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[3]<\/a><\/p>\n<pre>[1]\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <em>War Diary, 14<sup>th<\/sup> Canadian Battalion, The Royal Montreal Regiment<\/em>, Dec 9, 1914.\u00a0 Library and Archives Canada, Ottawa,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/data2.collectionscanada.ca\/e\/e044\/e001089681.jpg\">http:\/\/data2.collectionscanada.ca\/e\/e044\/e001089681.jpg<\/a><\/pre>\n<pre>[2]\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cCanadian Firms Make Ammunition,\u201d <em>The Montreal Daily Mail<\/em>, Montreal, Quebec, Wednesday, December 9, 1914, pg. 2, col. 3<\/pre>\n<pre><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[3]<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 Ibid.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, December 9, 1914 In Camp, West Down South, Salisbury Plains The Battalion War Diarist wrote for this day: \u201cGeneral training in morning.\u00a0 Holiday in p.m.\u201d \u00a0[1] THIS DAY IN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-this-day-in-rmr-history"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmrmuseum.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmrmuseum.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmrmuseum.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmrmuseum.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmrmuseum.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rmrmuseum.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10221\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmrmuseum.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmrmuseum.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmrmuseum.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
