From the 72nd Seaforth History: "After the Battalion had thus undergone seven months' severe training, Brig.-Gen. John Hughes conducted a final inspection prior to the departure of the Battalion for overseas on January 16th, 1916. As a last taste of the wintry conditions that had characterised the stay at Hastings Park this review was carried out in a blizzard." page 14
