“ MAC “—the Mascot of the Canadian Highlanders. An extraordinary assortment of mascots and pets accompanies the Canadian Contingent. Dogs and goats and other animals are numerous. One regiment actually adopted a small boy, a newspaper seller, who was anxious to go with them. He was smuggled somehow on to a transport, and has since become a bugler.
