When I was a kid I was in the Toronto Scottish cadet corps for a bit.
I remember being told by my older brother ( Militia cadre at the time ) the commanding officer was ex Devil's Brigade.
I asked him last year about Captain MaGee, because I was pretty sure he told me and he said
" ALL the senior cadre were Devil's Brigade! MaGee recruited them when he started the cadet corps up!"
I had no idea!!
