Sgt Russell and Sgt Taylor of the Airdrie (Highlanders) 3016 Army Cadets in an odd tug-O-war at the Calgary Highlanders Family BBQ in Mewata Armoury. The Airdrie Cadets did a number of battles on this, but this was the most anticipated. I will try to post more soon.

We would also like to welcome Sgt Russell back to the Airdrie Highlanders Army Cadets. Due to some internal DND issues, he had left and it looked like he would not be back. I know that a number of the Airdrie Highlanders Army Cadets, staff and parents were rather unhappy about this and we are thrilled to have him back!
He is certainly busy. Besides helping the Airdrie Highlanders Army Cadets, he just finished work on Tanks and Tartan: Soldiers for 100 Years at the Calgary Military Museums
He is also getting ready for a Calgary Highlanders tour of historical battlefields in Europe.
Highlights include:
If his flight back is on time, he should get back to Calgary just in time for the ACM dinner.

There is a new exhibit at the Calgary Military Museums, put together by Sgt Russell. Tanks and Tartan: Soldiers for 100 Years is a joint exhibit commemorating the Centennial (1910-2010) of the founding of The Calgary Highlanders and The King’s Own Calgary Regiment. The exhibit contains artifacts, photographs and artwork, including rare trench art.
It covers the history of these two units during peacetime and while on active service in World War One and World War Two. Also included are the experiences of individual members serving around the world on peace-support missions.
It runs until August 2010 and hopefully the Airdrie Highlanders Army Cadets will be able to go down and see it.
