Canada's Highland Regiments

[BoldHighlander]

Last night I realized that this year is the centennial of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada. So in honour of a 100 years of the Seaforths I thought I'd post a few more photos that I ran across of them:







Officers review order (circa 1914)


"The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada was first established on November 24, 1910 by a group of Vancouverites of Scottish descent. Upon official affiliation with the Seaforth Highlanders of the British Imperial Army, the "72nd Highlanders of Canada" was redesignated the "72nd Seaforth Highlanders of Canada" on April 15, 1912 and the "72nd Regiment Seaforth Highlanders of Canada" on December 16, 1912. The Regiment received its first stand of colours from the Governor-General, HRH the Duke of Connaught, in 1912."

...this year is the centennial of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada...

I know these guys, and I could probably tell a few stories. The officer on our right (with the UN beret) is the current Commanding Officer. He's a Captain here. I remember when that photo was taken.

Och! This is making me feel old...
