The Case of Leftenant Ralston

Blair of the Mounties, the story of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. We present the 13th episode in the dramatic series, Blair of the Mounties. 1915, the Dominion of Canada at war since our last episode.

Three more Canadian divisions have left Canada for the battlefront. After the Battle of the Marne and the drive for the Channel ports, the Great Armies have settled down to the long war of attrition. The grim lines of trenches stretched from the English Channel to Switzerland.

Inspector Blair and his assistant, Sergeant Marshall, are now on special service in France. Where are you, Marshal? Right here, Inspector. Pretty dark. Here. Where's that guide? Here I am, sir. Right ahead of you. Take care now and keep on the ductworps, the much pretty deep here.

How far is it to this 90th Battalion headquarters? Just a little piece now, sir. We're getting closer to line. There's the old ridger head of you, where you see them flies growing up. Go ahead.

Great kind of war inspector. Look at all those fireworks. Them's the gentleman's wrenches. They use a lot of flairs. Help! Wait for the mother of a McGinty. And it's my old friend's wake so it hits.

Ah, you with it? What do you want? I have a couple of gentlemen here to see the commandant officer. Alright, Ronnie. Better wait here. You too, Marshal. I'll go down and talk to Colonel Smith.

Now what you'll hit is going down them stairs. Hello. Down there. I'm looking for Colonel Smith. There you are. There you are. And Colonel Fennell. Excuse me, sir. Good evening, sir. My name's Blair. Oh, yes, Blair. I've heard about you from the General. Sit down.
