There's a name I haven't heard from my RCR's days in the 80's when Kenny was a master-jack in Duke's Coy. Good man, Kenny Lutz. What's he going to do now?

 

[Nfld Sapper]

Probably still in the Battallion but in another position (I guess)

The RSM happens to be my 1st cousin who was taken over by the dark side(infantry) but I still call him family ;D

[kkwd]

Kat, you're in trouble now, there are Newfs around every corner.  8)

Congradulations CWO Terry Hurley.The history of the Hurley's in the Royal Canadian Regiment and The Royal Newfoundland Regiment is being carried on.Newfoundland Regiment (the only Canadian unit) at Gallipoli and later at Beaumont Hamel where 710 of the 801 officers and men who took part in the assault were casualties. Also the Third Battle of Ypres and Cambrai, for which they were granted the title "Royal" - the only army unit to receive such a distinction during World War I.It is with our blood and determination as Newfoundlanders that make us the soldiers we are.
