What happened to this site and all the photos and histories?
Answered my own question, I hope.
I believe it is moved here on facebook.

To your reply and the one above from Gonzo. I was with the engineers at Lees Avenue throughout the 80's. I remember Capt O'Brien. I remember a few other medics from the 28th. We did our basic in 83 at Rockcliffe for a couple of weeks then went to Petawawa. We had some medics but they ended up...
Thanks, I will have them scanned as soon as we can get more information, such as the location. We have more of photos of him and I want to ensure they are preserved. In the last picture some of the soldiers have insignia, and some do not, but you have to blow it up and look really close.
Here...
Thank you very much for your reply, I will check out your link. I also understand that the Canadian 1903 uniform shoulders did not have the extra material to support shoulder flashes such as Divisional patches. I guess I did not realize they were later in the war as they are evident in this...
Hello, I have some photos of my wife's grandfather who fought through WW1 and at Vimy Ridge wounded twice and lived until 89. There are 2 photos taken of him and some other fellows, but they are not wearing cap badges or shoulder insignia. He joined in 1914 in Calgary as a private, and these...
Some armories were completely torn down. The 3 Field Engineer Squadron of Ottawa used to meet at Lees Avenue, right on the Rideau River close to the now Ottawa U campus. I have great memories of weekends building Bailey Bridges in the yard and taking assault boats up and down the river. Not a...
He is short boots. There is no reimbursement. He has mukluks. The SWAT ones have been mentioned before, but I will check the others ones. Thanks very much for the suggestions. Solid black is not a concern because when I picked him up other recruits had brown or tan colored boots. He has a...
Hello,
My son is currently taking his BMQ on the weekends in the reserves over the winter. The course is 60+ recruits and they do not have enough boots for everyone. He has to wear a pair of worn cadet boots that have holes in the bottom. Since he is infantry, and as a former infantry NCO, I...
Well, they won't be going back to Ottawa, they tore all the hangars down.
Now, let's see, under the Liberals we lose military units, followed by much complaining and criticism, and under the Conservatives, we gain military units, followed by much complaining and criticism.
C'est la vie.
Thanks for catching that one, I checked t on IMDB:

Incidently, in addition to the Canadians in "A Bridge Too Far", as a former engineer, the 'Canadian' sequence was brief with the rubber boats, but althought they don't mention who the British Engineers were...
I don't quite understand what the big deal is. We have already had reservists die in combat and they are already being integrated.
If only there were better laws for employers to guarantee their jobs when they deploy, it would make life easier for a reservist to volunteer.
There is a lot of civvie equivilent training that can be done. Medics can be trained, nurses can be trained, by civvie paramedics and nurses. Admin clerks can be trained by civies for computer skills, transport operations and drivers can be trained by civvies, CE can be trained by civvie...
Yeah, bet you're right, tried to think of movies with Canadian Military History content. I think if I showed segments it would be better. The BoB air sequences are still really good, especially the scenes with the air combat and background classical music. I bet the kids would still love the...
