All Royal Canadians are invited to review the attached questionnaire and to submit responses on any of the posed questions and areas of interest applicable to their service to assist with compiling Volume III of the regimental history. Col Horn notes that the questions are not definitive and members of the Regiment are invited to explore other aspects of regimental life as well.

RCR INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
These questions are intended to prompt discussion and capture the human side of the Regimental history. They are not a definitive set of questions. A written response would be appreciated (thereby populating our archives with historical impressions of RCR members), however, I will conduct an interview if preferred. If this has been passed to you by a third party please let me know if you are interested in being interviewed, or if you have documents, reports, photographs, historical material that would be useful for writing Volume 3, Part II, From the Cold War into the New Millennium 1954-2008. You can contact me (Bernd Horn) at horn.b@forces.gc.ca or horn-b@sympatico.ca .
