Strat monument in France

[Phillman]

This is a picture of members of the Fort Garry Horse at the unveiling of a monument built by a private citizen at Moreuil Wood. He built this on his private land on the spot where the body of a Strat soldier was discovered in the late 90's. He was killed at the battle of Moreuil Wood  in 1918.

Thanks for sharing this!

I wonder why stuff like this doesn't get more coverage?

Probably because its not degrading, demoralizing, not slagging some part of the military or talking about a member of the CF who did something wrong.

It seems to me that people don't want to hear about the CF unless something bad happens or a member does something wrong.

Sorry, a little bitter today.

By the way Wo good to see (read) you on the forum.

We met at the school back when Lcol G Rouseau was the Cmdt. I was part of TSS.

Darn.  I need more hints.

I just knew that there was something familiar about your writing, but too many meals in mess tins, I think.  I can't recall people as clearly as I should.

But, I just found out about this web site recently.  I wish I knew about it sooner.
