The Connecting File, Vol XVII, No. 4, December, 1938

On October 21st, 1938, command of The Royal Canadian Regiment was handed over by Lieut.-Col. M.K. Greene to Lieut.-Col. K.M. Holloway, on the latter's return from the Senior Officers' School, at Sheerness. It is our sincere desire, through the medium of the "Connecting File" to welcome Lieut.-Col. Holloway as he assumes his new duties, and to bid "au revoir" to Lieut.-Col. Greene, on his departure from the Regiment to the appointment of A.A. & Q.M.G., at Calgary.
