Thanks for putting this up again Jim.. to me it has become a classic, and my hope is that Legions and other veteran groups will find time to have it shown during Remembrance week, it says a lot in short order , and is a very nice tune as well.. ranrad

Hi Jim

Hopefully the Cenetaph stays as they changing so many things around the old base.  Many of the PMQ'S have been moved torn down.  They have renovated some of the PMQ'S much like Calgary did and did a great job.  But the built many new homes in the $500-$600 thousand dollar range.  They are keeping many of the trees around the area.  CFOCS is now a traing centre for the RCMP, rooms were converted into hotel rooms also very nice.  The old supply building is now part of the Fraser Valley University and they say the whole University will be moving into the area down the road.  If I remember one of these days I'll take my camera when I go the gym and take some pictures and send to you.

Cheers

Ken
