He found most of the innovation and then application was within the XII MANITOBA DRAGOONS. Getting CORPS HQ to take notice was to do it as well as the flanking task assigned. The information provided to CORPS now allowed for infantry to advance 16kms (10mi) per day marching and taking ground.

..The museum, archives and library are located on the first floor, north end, Brandon Armoury, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. It has been open to the public since 1979 and it has had visitors and e-mail correspondence from all provinces, most of the states and many countries. Comments from people who have visited the museum indicate they have found the museum very informative and the time well spent. The museum is run totally by volunteers. There is a work force of nine, who work one day a week through the winter. The museum is dedicated to preserving the memory of those who served their country in the various wars and engagements in which Canadian troops participated -- especially units that are associated with the southwestern corner of the province.
There is a wide range of military memorabilia, including uniforms, webbing, bayonets, cap badges, shoulder flashes, flags, maps and swords. The museum library contains material which covers practically every war, battle or skirmish in which Canadian troops were involved. This information would be of particular value to anyone doing research in this area.There are many pictures of individuals units and locations pertaining primarily to personnel and events originating in this area and other areas that troops of local interest were involved. Also the museum has a large archival section which contains, among other things, hand-written documents and orders from about 1903. A display comprised of approximately 400 regimental buttons has recently been added to the museum's exhibits. The buttons are from Canadian, British and American units.
