Drill Team Competition - May 1958
It's unclear whether the photographs are from the 15th Field Regiment or the 43rd Medium Anti-Aircraft Regiment. The format appears to be a 12 man section under command of a Sergeant with a Warrant Officer Class II and a Captain in an authoritarian position above them. The Warrant Officer Class I is keeping track of their performance on his clipboard. I wonder who won?
Summer Training
Members of the unit participated in special duty training in lieu of Camp Training with No 2 Royal Canadian Horse Artillery from 12 to 23 June 1958.
