Sarcee Practice Camp

Canadian Artillery Association Trophies
The Brigade was successful in its training and walked away with a considerable quantity of trophies.

​After the First World War, when the issue of battle honours was being decided, The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery asked permission to use "Ubique" in place of "Canada" in recognition of distinguished overseas service in all campaigns. This was approved by King George V on 5 August 1926, and promulgated by G042/1927 the next year.

58th Field Battery
The detached Battery in Victoria was also active in local training events.

Regimental Dances
The Regiment wasn't hitting the social pages as in previous years but there was still enough interest for a couple of officers from Victoria to attend.
