Royal Canadian Hussars - Regimental History ( new)

[Jacques Rioux]

I can confirm that this is an outstanding book. I received my copy last week and it goes into great detail from the founding of the cavalry to modern day COVID deployments. A lot of information on not just the RCH but it's allied units, former units, uniforms, equipment and many personal stories. Very well presented and great addition to any library. Full disclosure, I am a former member of the RCH and am included in portions of the book.

My copy arrived today and I have had a cursory overview of both volumes. Even though I am not included in either publication, I am still quite impressed with the quality of books and look forward to reading them. I am glad that the notice was posted on MLU.

Here is a research question for you. In 1976 Secteur de l'est put together a fly-over recce troop of guys from Sher H, 12e and RCH. Not sure about Hull. Att is are some pictures from a Sher H comrade (Marc Slater). A fellow who was 12e was in that troop, but could not remember who was the troop leader. He remembers the officer was RCH. Is it in the book?

[Jacques Rioux]

Let me check, they did mention a little bit about the flyovers. I did one myself for FALLEX 91 and could not find to much details on individual years but overall information like Officier X deployed during years X. If I find anything for you I will let you know

Don't look too hard, I was just being a smart ass and never served in the RCH as I was in the Engineers...hehehe.

We know you're the consummate smartass Ed, but I asked the question for Jacques.

Those were lean times in the Reserves in the 70s, and the stories might not have been very interesting to write about. I wonder if the authors leaned on the Annual Historical Reports?

Got a set waiting for me over at my friend's house. I am immensely looking forward to reading it. Taking some pictures next week with some vehicles to send up for the Trumpeter.

[Jordan Baker]

My set arrived yesterday and after a quick browsing this morning I’m quite impressed. They even had a handful of Otter pictures I had not seen before.
