Here is a song that was dedicated to LCol WSP Hughes, the first CO of the 21st Battalion. The words and music were composed by F King, of Australia. 

“Remember Me To Ottawa” 

From far across the ocean came a letter to dad, 
Which said “Your noble lad, 
Is feeling might glad, 
For while we’re bravely fighting in a land across the foam, 
We’ve not forgotten those we left at home” 

CHORUS: 

“So remember me to Ottawa, 
To Ottawa, sweet spot afar, 
And give my regards to old Quebec, 
Vancouver and Toronto too; 
Give my fondest love to Montreal. 
Dear Montreal, but that’s not all; 
Just tell them mid the noise, 
Your brave Canadian boys 
Are fighting for the Red, White and Blue.” 

“The foe have tried their best, our British bull-dog pluck to quench, 
But with us in the trench 
Are Belgians and the French. 
United we will stand and when the victory we’ve won, 
Then home will come your brave Canadian son. 

CHORUS:
