I'm in Ottawa and have made a carreer of ignoring Toronto. What armoury did the QOR call home immediately after the war? The door behind the Skink has a sign saying "Q.O.R. D Coy".

Clive:

QOR occupied the University Avenue Armouries, along with the 48th, and an Artillery Regiment (either the 29th Field or the 42nd Medium), as well as 5 Column RCASC.

Just for editing notation, there was no Armoury on York Street, however, there was, of course, Fort York Armoury at 660 Fleet Street West, near the Princes' Gate of the Canadian National Exhibition. Units there were The Irish Regiment, Toronto Scottish, 2 Field Engineers, Royal Regiment of Canada and Queens York Rangers.

PS: Still haven't received my photos.
