Default Front Page News

Bill Mulholland's 15 CWT with the Artillery School's ceremonial 25lb Gun and Limber in tow, appeared on the front page of Fredericton's Daily Gleaner news paper on Thursday Nov 30. His vehicle was used as part of the funeral ceremony for a WW2 and Korean War veteran.
The scan is not the greatest as it is from the news paper. There are a few errors in the text but never the less a very striking photo.

Great show, Bill. The vet would have been thrilled I'm sure.

On a lighter note, when are you finally going to put up your Gunner hatbadge, Bill? May as well, after all the time logged pulling various pieces...

Alex, keep it coming. Geoff, battledress would be a nice touch at our august meeting. I am sure the lassies at Gracies would be tickled, and Clive could use the competition...

You realize, sir, that this constitutes a challenge.

Realize also that I shall have to strip Rupert naked, but mind you, it will be a small price to pay and he will understand. Just don't get within arm's length of him the next time you're down here.

I remain,
Respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,

Geoffrey A. Winnington-Ball

Hi Mike


Jeez man..It's about time...Clive even piped up on another thread today with some cock and bull story about being on a "Mountie Course" in Regina or some like nonsense when we all know Clive was probably conning all those georgeous young wenches at Gracies ,conning them with phoney "Interviews" and tales of employment opportunities doing"under-the-cover" secret work for him....so that is a proper alibi for his latest absence from the forum...But we eagerly await his input at the January parade at Gracies...
Parade dress is combats...sandles optional...
RHC will keep us updated as of the program..

Sandals and combats??!! You worry me sometimes. Just to piss off the lot of you (and steal away the hearts or Gracie's serving wenches), I shall wear battledress.

BTW, I turn 54 on 28 Jan, so y'all can buy me one of the cute ones.

I don't really care WHO makes this happen, JUST DO IT. It's been far too long. And needless to say, ANYONE who can get there is welcome.

That didn't sound right. I meant, set up the Gracies thing, not procure women for me.

On the other hand.....
