Comments: Just dropped by to see what's shakin', and to say "hi". Yesterday having been Remembrance Day, I got to thinking about the years my family spent in Camp Shilo '54-'59 ('CFB' thanks to Mr. Hellyer's destruction of the individual identities of Army, Navy and Air Force); it was a great place to partially grow up! I was too young to do much that was socially memorable, but I was in the Cubs, and attended the new school the first year it was open (initially named Princess Anne Elementary in 1957-58 school year, and the name was changed for some silly reason after that -- I think the Queen didn't like it competing with her namesake, Princess Elizabeth school!). Cheers, everyone!

Comments: This Remembrance Day will be particularly memorable this year as our father, Ben Ripley, passed away last week on Nov.5th at age 87 at Truro, Nova Scotia. Dad had two postings to Shilo, 1952-54 when he was with Service Corps and 1968-72 when he was with RCEME and posted to Shilo to be with 1 Drone Troop. After Drone Troop disbanded he was attached to RCHA until his last posting to Chatham, NB. Greetings to all our Shilobrats family.

Comments: My father lied about his age to join the war effort at fifteen, spent his 16th birthday on the boat to Europe, returned after the war at the age of 21. Lost youth! hopefully paid back by his children, Ken Doug & Deb.
Comments: To commemorate this Remembrance Day 2013, Edie posted her "Tribute to my Mother" link on the ShiloBrats Facebook page.
For those not on Facebook, you can view her tribute in the 'Special Edition' section on the side menu.
Many of us have a personal connection to Remembrance Day through our heritage that will become more distant over time. Here is now a place and time to 'Remember' your connection before it becomes too distant...

Comments: Looking for Cadet Fred Tuttle who lived at Shilo when his father was posted there in 1963. I believe that he was in an artillery sponsored cadet corps. I was one of the 25 cadets, along with Fred, that went to Jamaica in 1963.

Comments: Everyone should read Edie's tribute to her mother's service in the women's army.
Comments: Thank you Gary for highlighting a very unheralded era for the "Moms" who served in our Armed Forces as we lead up to 'Remembrance Day'. Edie's story can be viewed in Special Editions in the side menu. Do you have a story to tell?
