That was exceptionally fast release of e-Veritas’ ex-cadet weekend review! Congrats to you and your staff. I very much enjoyed Friday’s class of ’70 events and the parade on Saturday. Further participation was reluctantly postponed to 2015. Next reunion is our old Brigade entry point so should be very well attended. Perhaps there should be…
Honor Guard, No! Guard of Honour, Yes!
I have noted that articles in eVeritas are using the term “Honor Guard”. This is an American term. In Canada we have Guards of Honour!! The extract below is from the Heritage Canada site, wherein CFAO 61-8, mod 8/84 is quoted as the authority. Other subjects such as gun salutes and musical salutes are also…

Cadet Good Samaritan & 435 (T&R) Squadron will be holding a Memorial Service on 6 June
I was witness to the brave actions of one of RMC’s Cadets, Thegne Rathbone, yesterday afternoon and I wanted to tell you about it. We were leaving an apartment and he had noticed that an elderly lady had tripped over the curb on her way in to the building and was laying on the ground.…
