Students participate in Mottershead Battlefield Tour 15-23 February 2025
In keeping with the tour’s tradition, the cadets participated in the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate in Ypres to commemorate those who fell in Belgium. The Last Post Association, which runs the ceremony, was very happy to see the tour return and, in honour of the RMC cadets, changed the location for the ceremony’s wreath laying to the south side of the monument, in front of the panels commemorating the Canadian dead. During the ceremony, the cadets made a strong impression with their professional bearing and solid drill. They proved fine ambassadors of RMC and Canada. As they marched off parade, people in the crowd began to clap—which protocol for the ceremony disallows. But it was a natural reaction to seeing a group of professional looking men and women in uniform.
