Fellas Be thankful, it's not like the old times. 12 month tours and no LTA or n WW1 and 2 2-4 yrs gone. My father was gone a yr. They were thinking of 9 months at one time. My Bosnia tour in 94 was 7 months, it's bad give advance party then getting stuck on the last flight. then off to IFOR.

I have found  some info on dishonoured units, but most are British, French,etc. It has most from the 1700-1900s. The only listing for Canadians is the riot in Britian after WW1.

Blaine My uncle was a Essex. But your best bet would be the Asso. and contact older members direct. But also, did he enlist as a Essex? Some members were posted to Regts that were short pers. I know some of the Dieppe units had (New Guys). From other regts. His enlistment cert, should have his...

George I know about the Colt. As I understand it. They Gunners got their GUNS away, but left the Carriage. The part between the gun and the Horses. If you look at old cannon. The gun could be pulled with carriage or direct for quick action. The carriage is where 2 other gunners sit, two next...

Yes I know George, It was just an example. If you look at Brit Regts. So called, related regts have the same colours. And why Regts may have that colour. As for the dishonour, I didn't say that. It is because one reason they have to pull their cannon. One of honour,and one of they left their...

George If you look at the Eng, Arty, RCD, etc. They have Scarlet and Blue. These are the two colours given to Common Canadian Regts. Just as Scarlet and Green are Horse Regts ie LdSH/Sask Ds, not counting Royal Horse IE GGHG which is Deep red and Purple ( Deep Blue) or CMRs FGH Gold and Blk. Ex...

PBI I know between the Wind R and the E&K. They did have about 200+ pers back in the 60s/70s. And the accomodation policy is only if the soldier can recover. Or to take them to 20 if less than a yr. Why should they take a postion at the unit.

PBI This is from my visits to some units in Ontario and in NB. And as for MIR Commandos, they are getting theirs now. No field, your gone. As of now. Any soldier that cannot do his job can be gone. Reserves never did leadership  courses on Leos. It was Cougar or Ilitis. The only a few a Sqn...

To all The gunners did loose their guns. It was the RCR that fired them a I believe at Paardeberg when the Gunners left, that is why the Royals have a Lanyard of white. As for the Dragoons,  George! They have the colours of Canadian Regts. ie Arty, Engs, RCD. But we have the gold for "The...

Why are they below standard, THE F***ing MESS thats why. I was in the reserves and most went there to drink. Ask any RSS, training? Whats that? I have been down to Armouries and see more people in the mess or just sign in. When a unit has a SGT for a SSM. You know there is something wrong...

Dave Ye it seems that way. I know the old Ferret way was 3 then 2 then 3 then 2. This summer all those Cougar types should be Recce guys. :'( I'm most likely one of the troop WOs, for the DP3 or DP 1 AO. It look like it will be a mixed course. Looking forward to it. >:D. All In todays battle...

Dave Sorry, but it's kinda the truth. My gunner I got stuck with, well. I could have put a fig 13 target, in their place.
