Will Take Year To Bring Boys Home
The demobilization plan for Canada’s overseas army moves ahead. About 266000 troops remain abroad and will take at least fourteen months at 20000 per month to repatriate, though higher monthly rates may occur as shipping improves. Rail capacity and rolling stock limits exist, with potential expansion. Older officers may be pensioned off, and a small permanent force plus volunteer militia is anticipated, though 300000 seasoned veterans in Canada could delay this evolution.
