Canada Day and Military Demonstrations

[Jon Skagfeld]

Thank you Col Tigwell for your kind comments about my knees. (No relation to the deciding officer in the Breaker Morant trial?).

Keefy: the tether is genuine Canadian Forces mine tape. Designed to thwart all foreign nefarious attempts at subversion.

Used also in training exercises to outline a "notional" trench, since we can't dig a slit trench because of environmental issues. God help us!

Alex in Ottawa (our home and native land)...regardless of what Babelfish says, here it is...

"If stormy and wet
Or the sun shines on us
The days hot as hell
And the nights filled with frost
Though dusty are our faces
High our spirits soar
Our spirits soar
As on like the whirlwind, our Panzers forward roll."

Remember this, from "Battle of the Bulge, when the German General's Gefreiter got the Jungen to sing whilst stamping their feet.
