That was great fun, and yes, I also noticed the significant drop in vets since the first trip in 2005 and the fact many of the Legions throughout the Thompson-Okanagan are dealing with significant membership challenges. Even with the Canucks in the Stanley Cup Final, a number of the Legions...echoed.

Congrats to our members driving the WWII equipment who dealt with various frustrating tire and mechanical challenges without losing their sense of humour, as I'm sure many out there would've just thrown in the towel.

Great to see some collectors out there not part of our group. At one Legion a great CMP HUP showed up - still under restoration - but I'd never seen one apart from pictures. Another visitor demonstrated that M38CDNs etc. are still being dragged out of the brush where they've undoubtedly sat since some ancient Crown Assets sale in the late 1960s - so the hobby is clearly alive and well despite current government attempts to squash military surplus sales.

(Harry's got a pretty complete list of participants, and there's another on the Club website at www.westerncommand.com)
