So, at the Memorial Service for Cpl Michael Campbell a few of the former Commanding Officers showed up to show support. Which one of these CO's do you know and served with when they were the CO? Thanks to Col Matthew Haussman for the photo.

Hope everyone is enjoying there summer. The Museum has two requests.
1)Hoping for assistance. We like to update our 60mm Cdn mortar. Like to add a C2 sight. Our mortar has its bipod. Therefore, were looking for someone who owns a 3D printer. We like to scan a C2 sight (one from C6) then print the sight and add it to our mortar.
2) We like to thank former members of the Westie Airborne Platoon and our volunteers in helping provide equipment for our Airborne mannequin "Rob" display. Thanks to Capt Nic Weigelt , Kevin Crawford, Mike Scott, Dennis Keeton, David Christensen, Chris Young and others.

We are needing one last piece. The main para rigging. We have reached out to CAF Museums, CWM and DHH. We've added a photo on what were looking for. We have seen one or two on E Bay but asking $250-300.00. Anyone who can connect us to someone who might have one is appreciated.

As our volunteers ( Chris Young) looks into the history of the Armoury and Drill Shed he finds other things.

Who owns the 2 x Crimean 24lb smooth bore howitzers? Is it the City? Under a arrangement? Or the GOC. The cannons currently in the City of New Westminster Works yard. As they go through another restoration.

So, through Military District 11 documents the truth is revealed.

So, as the Melfa Weekend has passed. The Royal Westminster Regiment Association conducted there Golf Tournament on Friday followed by the dinner on Saturday and AGM on Sunday.

One of the museum volunteers Chris Young set up a display of artefacts: such as Maj Mahony Field Message Pad; Sgt White's (KIA) Map from Melfa and other items. He helped with a video presentation as well which we will post here.

He has been going through other maps and letters home.

The image is from Maj Mahony who is sending documents home. What's interesting is the documents got wet when he crossed the Melfa River and fell in. One of the lads commented "Nice day for a swim Sir?". For solidiers, we all censored our activities while deployed from our families.
