Dartmouth Rifles

by

An inspection of the Scottish, Chebucto and Dartmouth companies, H.V.B., took place in the drill room, last evening, by Colonel Commandant Chearnley. This completes the inspection of the Halifax Volunteer Battalion for the current year. The officers and men of the whole were highly complemented by their Colonel.
