Tanks and Tartan at the Calgary Military Museums

April 17, 2010 in Calgary Highlanders, Events, Notices

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.
