Wow!! Just looked at the pmq demolition pictures in "what's new". Kind of hard to look at but the houses are old and if they have asbestos in them I guess demolition is the best and easiest solution. I'm sure they will be replaced by homes that will be far better and be built with more modern materials. None of the houses that I lived in are on the list, thankfully. It will be interesting to see what exactly they will be replaced with.

I'm new to the site, and I can't stop looking up all the names. There are so many people I can recall in my classes I was there from 1951 to 1956 then to the Peg for a year and then back to Shilo till 1963. Still looking for Debbie Leskiw

I haven't visited the site for some time...it's looking better all the time. Just retired end of August 2009 and moved back to Canada after 23 years in Belgium. I lived in Shilo from 1952 until 1960, although my family returned to live there in later years while I was in university.

The murder that is referred to in an earlier post happened when a young soldier shot his former girlfriend and her new soldier boyfriend out of jealousy. I still remember the blood soaked cardboard covering the spot. The military police interviewed my good friend Tony Findlay who witnessed the murder.

Shilo was a special time and, like others must feel, it left an enduring stamp on my life. When I lived there, it was Princess Elizabeth Public School, the Hostess Hut and the Sports Palace. Waggel Springs was the destination of choice and only Harvey McGee, the greatest of all teachers, was the only person in town who had a guitar.

Good wishes to all old timers from the Jurassic period in Shilo.

one younger sister Darla.
I went to O Kelly and Greenwood
Doug went to high school He was the oldest
We were all named with a D as you can see.
three sisters were born in Shilo and I was born in Brandon because they the army doctors were not accepting maternaty cases because the Koren War was on and the wounded soldiers needed the beds.

My father just passed away Jan 14/10 and I remember his poem about Shilo Camp during WWII. But I cannot fully recite it. It starts:

There is a place called Shilo Camp
Where soldiers had to go

there are several missing stanzas to complete the poem. Can anyone help? I thank you for your kindness. Guy

PMQ demolition? What's going on in Shilo? It seems to be the only base I lived on that is still in existance! There's no Gypsumville, no Rockliffe, no Lahr. When I saw the pictures of Gypsumville on the facebook group, I just about cried. Very eery feeling to say the least.

Please tell they're just demolishing in order to rebuild because the originals are just too old...please?

Don't think I could take hearing another base is going...going...gone
