Or was it 1955? I've just uploaded about 45 photographs of the 43rd Medium Anti-Aircraft Regiment RCA on a training exercise. That's the only information that I have. No location, no date, no names. I think I see George Chow in two of the photographs. Can you take a look at the 1955 yearbook and try identify a few more?
We've now reached 2,000 names in the nominal roll!

Have you got any additional information that we could include in the nominal roll? Do you have any photographs that we could scan for our yearbook? Wanted! Medal spotters!
I have been delinquent in posting individual's awards as shown in their various portraits that are posted with their bios. It would be much appreciated if you could take note of any discrepancy you see and drop me a line so I can amend the records. I need some assistance in determining if I have this parade in the proper yearbook. Should it be in the 1957 Yearbook for the 43rd Medium Anti-Aircraft Regiment RCA? I know that many of you weren't on that parade but see if you can spot any clues that I might have missed.
I thought I would share the following nominal roll entry that I've been working on:
Ormandy, Raymond; Taken on strength in 15 Field Regiment RCA on 15 Feb 1951, appointed Lance Bombardier on 21 Jun 1951, appointed Acting Bombardier on 29 Nov 1951, confirmed Bombardier on 1 Feb 1953, appointed Acting Sergeant on 1 Feb 1953, proceeded on Special Duty to Canadian Coronation Contingent (in the rank of Bombardier) from 21 Apr to 2 Jul 1953. The Part II Orders do not specify if Bombardier Ormandy was in the marching contingent or lined the route in London. In fact, he may well have actually been part of the Ottawa celebration. More history to discover! Following photos from http://live.cpac.ca/Event/The_Coronation_of_Queen_Elizabeth_II New photos uploaded including a gun exercise in frigid Shilo, Manitoba, an Officers' Mess Dinner, Point Grey Battery in 1973 and the Regimental picnic. Check them all out in the 1973 Yearbook.
An exciting year with a wet snowy weekend in Chilliwack, a callout in Jamaica and a Sergeants' Mess Dinner. Well, the Mess Dinner date may not be completely accurate... Check out the 1972 Yearbook.
FSSEP 1970, Federal Student Summer Employment Plan photographs from Vancouver and Vernon. Were you there?
John Brownlee-Baker passed on some photos from his collection. I'm hoping that I've put them in the correct yearbook. Let me know if you catch any errors.
