Alriight! Compliments of your most excellent collection of photos, Im putting a portfolio together with those who I served with and for during the all to short decade of service to The Regiment.  With Mr Northrup now on board, the only fellows Im missing is Art Thomkins, and  Leroy Fyfe when they were serving with the 3rd. (hint hint.... Cheesy  )

Thanks again, Jim

Leroy Fyfe was my CSM and then DSM 2 RCR when I was there. We did not see eye to eye and unfortunately for me he had the power so I was forever in the dog house. I spent more time doing extra duties than I did in the Mess. What a drag.

Jerry Francis, excellent man....my platoon Sgt in 2RCR, can remember Jerry and Ed Gallant  Pl WO, always making sure we did the right thing.....good men and a pleasure to serve with.  As for Leroy Fyfe, 3RCR RSM lets just say I had a few front and center's with him and yes he was always most definitely right....a few COS duties on the Button always worked....LOL
