Willy Bowers:
This would have been your 1st or 2nd course as an instructor. Started Labour Day weekend 1978.

Not sure of the name, but "believe"(Huh) that the gentleman kneeling front rank, on the left is Capt. Dexter. He was H coy 2i/c 2 RCR 1981 . Good officer. I think he took his commission after servicing many years as an nco. Some of the others are familiar, however I'm lost on the names.

Jim: Correct. Top row 2nd from left.
Ranman: Just a guess but I suspect the same Pl staff before the summer posting changes. The reason for the officer in the jump smock is he was our crse officer for TQ3 to follow in London. Sent to Cornwallis on TD for our course.

Ya I remember that Brit.

He would visit out TQ3 crse every now and then and keep calling us the "gay men of the RCR".

We got together "using the chain of command" to have someone have him to stop. LOL

Randy:
Actually the officer pictured is a Canadian & then member of 1RCR.
The British officer you are referring to was the 2ic of A Coy(aka Trg Coy), 1RCR. He was an exchange officer.
