Hold the phone... good picture, you would not happen to have one of Charlie, would you?  We had a pretty good time on advance mortars, eh? I wish I would have had a camera in those days.. Shot over...

Hi BJ:

Pic was taken in '75 on my TQ Mor Crse in Petawawa. Charlie Hawkes took it with a Kodak Instamatic if you can believe it. It won the CF colour photo contest that year.
