The Calgary Highlanders in World War 2

Calgary Highlanders in training during the Depression. Sadly, the army camp grounds are now a strip mall. The hillside still has the brigade markings and is a historic site for the city. This scene is based on the army camp of Signal Hill which was used up until the 1990s.

Piper of the regiment. I will still have to figure out how I can rotate the shot.

I had the chance to visit the Regimental museum of The Calgary Highlanders.
I also bought their pipes and drums cd, a decal for my bicycle and a t-shirt.
I never would have visited this museum had it not been for my mother's funeral. I needed a quiet place to contemplate her passing and to pay respect to those brave Canadian men and women who have served our country.
