Looks like Mr. Riley front row 3rd from left. followed by Reg Thompson. Not sure but that may be Rick Fortune standing in front of the left hand pillar.
Front row first on the left I know but dont remember a name.He was our CQ for a while.
Possibly one of the Gapp Brothers Second row third from the right

You are correct Kip ! Two more I remember is behind Gerge Watson is Rocky Vallee and in the centre collum at the top is the other Leblanc who had some evil fights with Denni Lafrance ! And we can't forget the instance in Germany when Rollie Leblanc and Jim Hooifil almost took out the front gate doing 98 ! They had to take the meathead to the hospital for PTSD !

In the front row also is Joe Riley, and I as I recall Errol Gapp was in 1 RCR in 1974 in Cyprus and his brother Ward Gapp didn't join until the 80's.

Great news, hope you are having fun with it.
I tried to get back in to go to Afghanstan, but I was released meically so they would not take me. I am looking at a couple of Civie positions over seas. Madeline and I live in the valley, we built a hopuse in Wilmot (next to Kinston). Not sure how long we will stay here as we would like to be closer to the Grandkids.
I am not working and so far that makes life very boring.
Stay safe

BJ; before I left the Valley for Milton ON, this past July, there were 3 positions for MWO reserve on the Wing. Operations, Defence Force and IC ARAF I believe…
May be worth popping into ARAF on the Wing.

I forget the guys name sitting on the bottom Left, but he used to like shaking hands, then try to crush your hand.

As I recall, Tony, Big Bob got out in London and went to work refilling ABMs or something like that. He was a CSM at the time of the 100th...

Bob Hoffman retired and went to work as a Correctional Officer at Elgin Middlesex Detention Centre along with Bud Graham and a bunch of other Royals. Bobs wife passed away five years ago and Bob has since retired from corrections and moved back to Windsor, his home town this past year. He has since married again just this year and is enjoying life...
