C'était la première fois depuis longtemps que la 3BAM tirait avec son RGT, car habituellement elle anime la cérémonie au Champ d'honneur (Mémorial national de guerre canadien) à Pointe-Claire dont la cérémonie a été annulée cette année.
La 3BAM est en période de recrutement perpétuel, si vous êtes intéressé à nous joindre SVP, communiquer avec l'Adjuc (ret) Gilles Aubé aux: (514) 249-6164 ou par courriel à: adjucgaube@hotmail.com.
REMEMBRANCE DAY CEREMONY AT MCGILL UNIVERSITY
THE ARTILLERY WAS PRESENT ON HAND
AS ALWAYS
Acting In support of the 34th Canadian Brigade Group, the 2nd Field Regiment, Royal Canadian
CWO Barros of 2RCA joins members of 3BAM for a photo |
The ceremony opened with a thunderous cannon shot from a Second World War 25-pdr howitzer belonging to 3BAM, and fired by LCol (Ret'd) Steve Goldberg, CD . The 3BAM is composed of highly motivated volunteers seeking to equal the high professional standards set by the gunners of the 2nd Field Regiment. Thereafter the regiment fired the remaining twenty shots required by protocol with their powerful C3 105mm howitzers. 3BAM then fired the closing shot of the ceremony as previously arranged.

It was the first time in years that 3BAM participated in a mission alongside 2RCA chiefly because 3BAM traditionally participates instead in another ceremony at the Field of Honour (Canadian National War Memorial) in Pointe- Claire, which was cancelled this year. The 3BAM is in a perpetual recruitment mode.
