There is also a magazine. My son has written an article on the Strathcona's in South Africa. It was published on the Centennial of the Regiment.

I've had it bookmarked for a tick, but great of you to post it for those who didn't know.

Sir Charles, Is this the first article your son has written? Has he written others that are similar? That's pretty exceptional to get an article into the magazine!! Is there any way for us to read the article??? I, for one, would really like to read it.

Thanks,

EEJ

Eagle Eye; I'll call him and see if he has an electronic copy. I had a copy of the issue, but where? My Sun & Air has his book out now. HOSTILE INTENT, the CIA in Chile 70-74, by Kristian C. Gustafson. Amazon & Barnes & Noble. i have written a couple of amateurish mongrel history articles, One in the NCOWS SHOOTIST a while back and another coming up in the first 2008 issue. 2008 is the 150th anniversary of the goldrush on the Fraser River, and the founding of British Columbia

BTW, my sister was the book designer. Talk about running in the family!

Thank'ee, read shortly after it was published & I really enjoyed it as it is rather well written.

Colonel; Have you ever been to Canada? In the 19th Century? In "full-fig" as a Militia Colonel?
