| Name: Jeff Darrington From: Brighton E-mail: jivepig@hotmail.com |
I have been doing alot of research lately and really enjoy this site. My Grandfather enlisted in 1939 with the Hasty P's. His name was Albert Darrington. We have no war photo's of him except a portrait. Anyone who still reads these posts if you come across Albert Darrington in a photo particularly in a old photo, would you be able to contact me? I have been through the portions of the Archives Canada website. I can't find any of him in the pictures as of yet. I am really interested in his Panoramic photo that was lost moons ago. He was also during the war in England part of the 3 Rivers Regiment and the Fort Garry Horse. Thanks Jeff Darrington Brighton

Call to all descendants. On July 18th, 2010, the Metis Nation-Saskatchewan will host a Special Commemoration & Reconciliation Ceremony at the site of the Historic Gravesite of Batoche, adjacent to the Batoche National Historic Site. This ceremony is to honour the Fallen of the 1885 North West Resistance. A gated monument is to be erected in honour of all who lost their lives, on all sides of the battles. If you know of descendants of the Midland Battalion Company H, please let them know. Kindest regards. Claire

My great uncles "Charles H. Ries-Private" was a member of the 80th Battalion C.E.F. and lost his life for his country on March 4th 1917. His brother "Wilbert Ries-Private" was a member of the 21st and 155th Battalion C.E.F. My cousin "Albert Edward Vardy" was a member of the R.C.A.F. and lost his life while on a mission in WW2. I am collecting information to share with family members regarding these courageous men and the Battalions they served under. A wonderful site. Thank you for sharing, Respectfully, Gloria Bronson

My father served in WW2 in Holland with the Hasty P's. He talked of a few instances (his army unit confronting Hitler's youth troops in a Holland village and some peace conference he stood guard at). He has now passed on leaving a daugther thirsty about his and Canada's contribution to the war in WW2.

Today, I had the most humbling experience, to speak with a gentleman, whose father, Pte Erwin A Jacksons was killed serving the Regiment. He spoke of his father and Uncle's Regimental service and how proud they were to be Hasty Ps. We will always remember them. Paratus

Congratulations and "well deserved" to LCol. Ross Cossar on his promotion and command of the Regiment. I was a private soldier when then OCdt. Cossar first came on board with "B" coy in Peterborough. It's good to see you doing well sir, and I wish you and the Regiment much success in the coming years. Paratus, Wayne

I want to acknowledge the efforts and interest of all who attended the Regiment's Change of Command parade on May 1st. The parade was a grand success from start to finish. Following the parade, members of the unit continued their training through the Commanding Officers Challenge, Exercise Fresh Audacity. This infantry challenge saw five sections of soldiers compete in 26 activities. On the Saturday evening, soldiers competed in a Pugil bout(courtesy of MCpl's Saunders and Evans), a biathlon range (courtesy of 2672 Army Cadets), an electronic trip wire challenge and map tests. Sunday they encountered a 21.5 km march around Peterborough with stands that tested various soldier skills including weapons handling, communications, media relations, calling artillery fire, and so much more. MCpl's Hickey, Barkema, Evans, Angle and Tippet are to be commended for their solid leadership throughout this physical and mental challenge (especially since they went in blind to what was being thrown their way by their new CO). MCpl Angle went on to lead his section to victory. It was a job well done. Clearly the Regiment retains audacious soldiers who are willing to accept challenges and give their best.

| Name: Dave Willard From: Beachburg, Ontario E-mail: davlyn@nrtco.net |
In the submissions below I made mention of the Hasty Pee pipes & drums incorrecty wearing red hackles on their glengarry's. I commented on this as the wearing of the red hackle is an honour that was bestowed upon and reserved for The Black Watch, Royal Highland Regiment by Royal proclamation. I recently came to noticed this practice in a photograph, that as it turns out, was a dated one. Pipe Major Robert Stewart I have learned, corrected this problem some years ago. It is encouraging to know that The Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment manages to support and maintain a pipe band. There are few other components of a regiment that can boost troop morale and provide such a positive interaction with the community as does a band of pipes & drums. Good for you Hasty Pees and bravo to PM Robert Stewart and the band. Dave Willard CD, BA, KStG Formerly- Hasty Pee Cadet,Lorne Scots, 1st Black Watch, 1st & 2nd RCR, 3 Mech Commando (CAB) & RCAF

I'd like to take this moment to thank LCol Ross Cossar for inviting me back to see the Change of Command parade today. He and I had served as subbies together, in Peterborough, and today was an opportunity to remember some great times we had together. It was also an opportunity to remember that though you may leave the Regiment, it never leaves you. The Regiment has been placed into the hands of a man that has lived and breathed it from the moment I had met him. These are difficult times, from members serving in Afghanistan to the realities of budget cuts and keeping our troops in the fighting form they need to be in. I think the Regiment is in solid hands. I'd also like to congratulate RSM Al Found. There was never a more dedicated soldier that I could remember from my time with the Regiment. Today, he turned over the honour of being RSM to another and will take his commission. One day, I'm certain, he too will take command of this Regiment and deservedly so. The future of the Regiment looks bright. Paratus.
