The Regiment fires a salute on 7 Feb 1955 to commemorate the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne. Should the newspaper article not have read "accession as the Queen of Canada"? A rather interesting article from 1970. Would the Vancouver Artillery Association be willing to perform the same role today? Without a doubt!
Regimental Band records, Music in Motion, goes on sale through the Province newspaper. I wonder if I there is any stock left if sent in an order today? Is there anyone out there that can tell me how succesful the sales were in 1983? The Province featured the regiment in an article on 29 January 2007. Check out the other photos on our page here. Have you got any other info to add to the story? The regiment advertised in the newspapers and it produced its own fact sheet. Is this what attracted you in 1971? Did you join to find out where the action is? Did we deliver what we advertised? C'mon down for our 100th Birthday Party and let's talk about some of those days in the regiment! Contact me, president.vcrgunners@gmail.com for a list of members that joined the same year as you did. Track them down and invite them to the party as well! You probably haven't thought about them in fifty years! Buy your tickets here. ,The Commanding Officers' Christmas Tea featured a great crowd and was a great opportunity to catch up with old and new acquantances. Of course, there was also Mrs Lum's great cooking!
We've gotten some great feedback from WO Skuce who filled in many of the names in the 2011 Christmas group photo. There's still 10 names to go. Can you name them? Send the names to president.vcrgunners@gmail.com
Chief Warrant Officer Mark Jackson's photo has been sponsored. That leaves only three more! Can we do it before the new year? Can your Association get them all mounted before the start of our centennial year? Contact me at president.vcrgunners@gmail.com
The group photo for 2016 has been updated with names and ranks. Is your's correct? Check it out on the 2016 Yearbook page. Thanks to all those that contributed in finding names! Make sure you write it down this Saturday for the 2019 Group Photo!
