of silver haired gentlemen in the Regimental Green jackets the light constantly catching the glint of coloured ribbons shiny medals that bejewelled most of their at tire Alongside their wise predecessors were the tan dress uniforms of the current serving Lord Strathcona Horse RC Side by side it was very easy to visualize the retirees contrasting with the fresh faces and eager voices of their youthful com patriots they too having had the of youth and the quick step of anticipation The original dress uniform of the mounted calvary were a splash of bright colours shiny helmets horse plumage and lance made their appearance that much more cavalier The years of the was well represented by the old world soldiercavalryman the World War 1 World War Korean veterans and serving peacetime personnel Amid these men and between their conversation and memory recall the women who in no less capacity served as well were as pastel flowers in their dress They too renewed old friendships and perhaps also the misadventures follies and the high points in following the man In uniform Hap pily most offspring of these fine gentlemen and ladies have gone forward with their lives and achieved the highest aspirations for which many in these regiments fought and died to defend As a child of the Canadian Arm ed Services this reunion gave me the opportunity to once again taste the flavour of the forces in their Pomp and Ceremony the tradition and patriotism that in these troubled times in Canada seems somewhat lacking is a constant in the personnel of Canadas forces That part of my life Is now a clos ed chapter but this reunion revives old memories and all the experiences that have made me what I am and it was wonderful to temporarily immerse ones spirit In a cleansing way and to
