Came across a great story on Ex CAUSTIC SHOCK in 2001. Remember that year? The trucks and guns were grounded because of the tire rims and we had to fly to Shilo in a brutal cold spell? I found a great story BUT no pictures! C'mon, not all the cameras were frozen. Check out the story here and send me some pictures!
Volunteers needed! Have you got a couple of weekends to spare?  War Preparations
How prepared was Vancouver for war in 1942? Check out the letter from the Battery Commander 85 Battery, Major Arthur Cowan MC to his Member of Parliament, Howard Green in the 1942 yearbook. While you're browsing the site, check out Major Cowan's Military Cross citation here. New photos in the Shilo exercise in 1967. This could be the last year that we were allowed to have a campfire at the gun line to stay warm. Were you there? Send me your story. Just uploaded 2002 issue of the 15th Field Artillery Regiment Officers' Mess newsletter onto our newsletter archives here. Check it out for all the news at the beginning of the century. This is also a great location if you're looking for past issues of the current newsletter!
New pictures from the 1996 Remembrance Day salute. Check them out here. Another group photo. Definitely 1995 as Lani Jakimchuk is still wearing a cornflake. What significant event was it part of?
