Not really sure; can't be '88 though as I started my TQ3 medic course after I LOTPed (oct 87 to march 88), so spring / summer '88 I was posted to Stadecona halifax; Not quite sure but looks like '83

Because the 2RCR Pipes was in the photo I thought it had to be the Trooping.
Me and Madeline are doing fine, we are still trying to ajust to retirement.
Stay Safe

This was a Big parade
We had the Pipes and Drums from 2 RCR
We did a fuediswa (SP)
Now I think it was a Trooping as well as a visit by VIP
This wasn't 1983 though, We also did a change of command this year I'm sure
If any can remember the practice, the white webbing kept falling off of the troops on the march past.
and the fuediswa sounded like a fire fight the first few times.

Yeah Geoff, but we 'practiced' enough pounding the square to pull it all together by rehearsal and the final parade

Hi BJ
PM'd you the basics if you need more help let me know
The Picture I have is in Giff format (My avatar)
Which in laymans terms I have a movie on a loop sort of
The picture in the corner is my avatar which you can upload from your profile information page
and upload it directly from your computer (this site will host it), It can only be a max of 100 x 100 DPI so you will have to
resize your picture to add it here.

That was the change of command parade--87. Remember each Company came out in different dress. With us the Dukes doing the Sunset thing. Think echo repelled from the shacks that day as well--long time ago..Also recognize Robichauld. Thats when Archibald took command.
