49 years ago....The Regiment was equipped with 105mm C1 howitzers. We deployed to the field in woollen Battle Dress (with puttees!! - ask an old-timer what a puttee is!) The gun tractor was 2 1/2 Ton SMP (Deuce and a half) manufactured in 1952. The Command Post was a 3/4 Ton SMP (Three Quad) with a 6 foot folding table. Those were the good old days?
2004 - Additional photos from an exercise in Yakima - Are they from Cougar Salvo? Or another exercise?
Whew! 138 photos of Remembrance Day 2006. Did I miss your name? Drop me a line at [email protected]
I've added hazardous skill badges to the list of Honours and Awards. Of course the only information I have is a vast collection of fuzzy photographs! Did you qualify for jump wings? Canadian or foreign? Other hazardous badges? Take a look at the sparse list that I have and let me know if I have not included your achievement. I would also be very interested in the year in which you received the qualification and your rank at that time.
email me at [email protected] 15th Field Artillery Regiment, RCA fires a 21 Gun salute to celebrate Canada's birthday. We've captured 85 photos of that day but I can't identify the Salute Troop Commander and No 2 Gun Detachment Commander! Need your assistance with those details and putting names to photos!

RHQ has passed on some great photos from the 2004 Cougar Salvo exercise. There's about 193 in total! Have they captured you in any of them? email me if you recognize yourself or anyone in the photos before our memories start to fade! [email protected]
