Hi R. Good post Thanks for this info.

Judging from a conversation I had with someone a while back, it sounds as though all 3 of my Uncles, all 3 with the Royal Winnipeg Rifles...only one came home... which was my Dad's brother Oscar) probably WERE part of that Parade. I like to think that that's so.

Also ... I'm glad you liked the Bren. I thought the old illustration was great. I just did a Google "image" search for "bren gun"
