Default Picture of Oct '07 Reunion of 83rd Battery in Hamilton

I've attached a copy of a photo taken on Oct 20/07 at a reunion of
the 83rd Battery of the 23rd Field Regiment - location James St. Armoury, Hamilton, Ontario. Sorry the only names I know are of Herb Danter (2nd from left front row) and Doug Rochester (3rd from left front row). What a fine looking group of "heros". I attended the reunion and some of the men remembered my dad Eric England.

Thanks for that Cheryl. I trust you and Herb are both well? I've put up a couple of other photos from that reunion on this thread...

My grandfather was Gordon Wilbur Graham, he was a Sergeant with this group of men. His nickname was Doc. Do these gentlemen still have these reunions? I would love to attend. My grandfather used to attend them faithfully.
Kindest Regards, Dave Schefter

Default 23rd Field Regiment Reunion

Sorry, the last one I attended was with Herb Danter in 2007 in Hamilton, but
unfortunately he has since passed away and he was my link to the reunions.
Can anyone out there who reads these posts, know of who to contact
re when and where the reunions of the 23rd Field Regiment are.
Cheryl
