Hi All
For those of you who are new to MLU since CMP 84 was last discussed, a brief description of the event is in order, I was lucky enough to have been invited and attended.
Bill Gregg and Peter Ford were the main force behind a 1984 Historical Symposium which was held at Bill Gregg Home and showcased his extensive collection. But what was most interesting thing was that over three days a symposium was held we got to listen to and talk with many of the key people (14 individuals) behind the development of the CMP . For three days we talked and learned about CMPs and the Canadian Army in WWII.
I have posted all pictures (200+) I took at the Seminar on my web page.

At the bottom the page you will find printed hand outs for the symposium including the bios of the speakers.
I will forever be indebted Bart Vanderveen, Peter Ford, and Bill Gregg, for intriguing me with CMPs. The order of the names reflects the order I was lucky enough to get to know them. All true gentlemen willing to share their knowledge.
Cheers Phil
