The Honourary Lieutenant Colonel of the 39th Combat Engineer Regiment, James Happer CD would like to extend his greetings to Western Command and invite all club members to participate in an historic event.
Sixth Field Engineer Squadron (39 Combat Engineer Regiment) is celebrating its 100 Anniversary this year. On May 7th the Squadron will March for the first time with its new flag, carried in a special ceremony at Mahon Park in North Vancouver.
The event will start with the Regiment, Colour Party and JP Fell Pipe Band marching to the parade grounds at the park. Local veterans will also participate and it is hoped that Western Command members will join the parade and help transport the vet’s or just be in the parade. Once the parade arrives at the park, vintage military vehicles will be positioned as the backdrop for the official ceremony, right on the parade grounds, NOT parked in a far off forgotten corner.
If you have an older military vehicle and would to join in the celebration to mark the 100th Anniversary of North Vancouver’s Military Engineers, please contact Guy Black (604) 937-7673 or
gmblack@telus.net. More information will be provided closer to the event date
