The RCR officer is Lcol T.D.Lafferty, I believe the General is Foulkes. Recognize faces in the Quarter Guard but can't remember names. Cheers, Hugh Conway

Aldore I would have to agree with you on your selection.  Ron Mossop, and Dave Stafford.  I was member of Anti Tank pl at that time.  Rick, would you have the remainder of the guard?  Also are you sure this photo was taken in 64?  I thought Sgt Martin was Platoon Sgt sometime aroung spring of 65.  I was about to get married to my wonderful wife of 42 years and decided to go AWOL, for a week and was given 14 days CB.   Sgt Martin, approached the Adjt, and Col Lafferty, somehow talked them into letting me run off and get hooked. 

Aldore, Ronnie, Mossop, Jack Meigs, Mike McGrath, were my escorts and our return trip to Fort York, was in Mike's MGB.  We had a great time.

Thanks boys.  Pro Patria.
