The first draft of Canadian servicemen to go overseas in the war, gather at a downtown Ottawa mess and enjoy a singsong and a few beers. Shots of the boys at tables, singing, drinking and all in a festive mood, touching glasses in a farewell toast. CUs and MSs of the lads at the bar having one for the road. (These men are all from the Royal Canadian Artillery; 00/11/1939 - 00/12/1939).
