The Final Drive

A fitting farewell,

......The Royal Canadian Regiment honoured one of its "greatest career soldiers" today.
A funeral was held in London for Captain John Reid, a highly-decorated veteran best recognized for his efforts in the Second World War.

The funeral contained numerous ceremonial tributes rarely seen for passing veterans.

Check out the link.

the greatest RCR?

I recall Strome Gallway had a very eventful and lively WWII career that included many of the famous battles. He was Mr. RCR for a long time. Supposedly he wrote the Op Order for his funeral and left it with his will.

No Doubt....

......that Strome would write his own obit.
