Excerpt from The Call to Arms: Montreal's Roll of Honour, European War, 1914
In the meantime the Regiment went to camp at Three Rivers, under command of Major Dodds, in June, 1913, and under Lieut. Col. Meighen to camp at Petawawa, in June, 1914. When it returned from Petawawa the organization of the Regiment was almost complete. The ranks were still not quite full but they were almost so and full dress uniforms were practically ready for issue to the men.
The standard for admission of recruits, which was maintained from the date of the re-organization, was very high and was strictly adhered to. Besides requirements as to height, chest measurement and so on, every candidate passed a severe medical examination. One result of the extreme care which was taken in selecting recruits was that the ranks were filled somewhat slowly. On the other hand the benefit was seen when non~commissioned officers and men of the Regiment were examined upon enlisting for the First Contin gent in August, 1914. Out of the men who were on the strength of the Regiment when enlisting commenced and who volunteered for overseas service, about five per cent. Were rejected by the medical officer. On the other hand, out of the men who volunteered at the Grenadier Guards Armoury, having had no previous connection with the Regiment, the percentage of rejections was more like fifty.

Excerpt from The Call to Arms: Montreal's Roll of Honour, European War, 1914
"The call to arms" is the work of a few Montreal citizens, who with the aid of many friends, took upon themselves to endeavor to produce a tangible record of the manifold and splendid ways in which Montrealers, military and civil, have served their Country and their Empire during the last five months of 1914. Their first object was to record these facts; secondly, their desire was to serve the Montreal Patriotic Fund by turning over to its treasurer the proceeds of the publication, above the actual net cost of production and distribution. With gratitude for much invaluable assistance received from the many friends who contributed their time and advice gratuitously - and especially among these are to be mentioned Mr. Bernard K. Sandwell, who directed the editorial work, Messrs. A. R. Doble, R. J. Younge, Lieut.-Col. John A. Gunn, J. M. Gibbon - the publishers now commit their volume to the Citizens of Montreal.
