Colonel Wadmore inspects the Seaforth 72nd Regiment, 12 August 1911 "The first inspection of the regiment took place on August 1st of the same year [1911], the inspecting officer being Col. Wadmore, D. O. C., Militia District No. 11. The regiment paraded on the Cambie Street grounds, and the men made a fine appearance. The D. O. C. put the regiment through a somewhat severe test in the various movements, most of which were excellently done. The marching of the regiment was especially remarked. Speaking of the inspection afterwards, Col. Wadmore said that he was highly pleased with the regiment and complimented Col. Leckie and the other officers on the high state of efficiency to which, in a comparatively short time, the regiment had been brought."
