You should still be able to get some of that extra pay - either you (if hubby set it up with the pay office) or he in theatre can go to the respective pay offices and 'cash out' some or all of what is banked. At least that's what was explained to me by the Roto 2 clerks setting up my pay in...

I'm watching CTV Newsnet right now - they're reporting that Lebanese authorities said that the observer casualties were Finnish, Australian, Chinese and a Canadian. Still no 'official' confirmation from the UN or DND. Newsnet also says that there is only one Canadian in Lebanon with the mission...

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060718/mideast_lebanon_UN_060716/20060718/ Major Hess-von Kruedener of the PPCLI is over there - the above article/report is great. I'm hoping the 'unconfirmed' reports of a Canadian death are untrue.

RIP...  :salute:

Yup. Thanks. Too many 'A's to remember.

As I understand it, because the current Op Archer Roto is operating under the auspices of Operation Enduring Freedom, their tour will receive the SWASM. When NATO takes over, Canadians serving in Afg will receive the Campaign Star with ISAF bar. Since there may be some overlap at the end of...

If they've got it down to weeks in some cases, then that's great - when I was in Borden (2002-ish) there were folks that had been rotting in the old PAT system for upwards of two years...

And to answer your question, I would guess that there are no knighthoods associated with non-commonwealth orders, even if there were, the Canadian recipient would not be able to title themselves 'Sir or Dame Whomever', though they would undoubtedly be considered such by the country that bestowed...

Canadians are no longer recommended for knighthoods under the British system by Canadian Prime Ministers or the GG. Canada first tried to distance itself from the British system after the First World War, with the Nickle Resolution, which attempted to forbid Canadian citizens from becoming...

Further to my last, it does look like it is the Italian Order of Merit, in the grade of Grand Officer (Grande Ufficiale) - have a look here: http://www.quirinale.it/onorificenze/insegne/ParureOmri/gu.htm Jay

Hey Jason, The scan is somewhat pixellated, so I can't quite tell - I do know that the orders that he's wearing through his buttom holes are the Order of Merit of Police Forces (he is the principal commander), and the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.  He was made an officer in the French Legion...

Sent to those who requested it before noon today. I'm on lve the next two weeks, so if anyone wants it it'll have to be when I get back to Pet in Jun.

PM me with your DND information (last name, init, rank) and I can get it to you. Edited to add: the one I have isn't classified, but marked 'for official use only' - so I'd prefer to send it to a DND account.

Nichola was a classmate of mine. Though I hadn't seen her since graduation, what strikes me now is I never remember seeing her without a smile on her face. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. RIP  :cdn: Jay
