Well, he is with the ROYAL Canadian Dragoons......so that counts. And as a matter of interest..... I am directly related to Oliver Cromwell.... cool eh?

Indeed it does. Most soldiers have their "home" regiment which they spend their careers in. Postings to other 'foreign' units may happen, but they're always part of their regiment until the day they die.

 

Since my ancestry includes Scots, English and Irish, I don't know whether I'm supposed to hate you for that or not. What the heck. We're both Canadian; our families left that nonsense behind when they left the Old Country. Raise a glass to the good major courtesy of this former sublieutenant. He'll just have to handle being toasted by a sailor.
