These photos go back about 45 years and show the 15th Field Artillery Regiment on what appears to be a Remembrance Day parade in Vancouver. Can this be true? Did we deploy both a salute troop and a marching contingent that year? Are there others out there that can provide some additional information? I'm sure that's me in the photo as a gunner which would make 1971 accurate. Battle Dress, puttees, lanyards, artillery forage caps and regimental brass. Although it appears that Bdr Dave Strebe didn't have his regimental brass belt with him that day! To his left you can see Gnr Bill Barlow, Gnr Greg James and Lt Gary Woloski. Marching behind him is Gnr Craig Stewart and Gnr Leon Jensen. Any other recognizable faces? Same parade. To Bdr Strebe's left we have Sgt? Don Friedsam peaking through the ranks. The officers ranks are hard to see but it appears that we have Bob Mugford, Preston, Martin Casey, Bill Wickett, Capt? Stu McDonald, Art Gee, Vic Stevenson and Steve Burridge. At the rear of the file we have Bdr Mike Meehan and Bdr Keith Laing.
