Members of the Niagara Branch, The RCR Association were joined my local members from the CAVUNP, the PPCLI Association and several legions. The firemen were very receptive and, as you can see, volunteered to hoist the Regimental flag high above us in the ladder truck. We were all very pleased with the manner in which the local population treated us even though it was very sad occassion.
Onto the bridge. Sadly, this was the second occasion the branch convened within the month to pay our respects to a returning hero.
Al Mackelvey, Korea, is bearing the Canadian flag and Jimmy Bretherick is bearing the Niagara Branch's regimental banner.
