Comments: So much fun looking through this site. I lived at 56 Frontenac Crescent in 1963/64. It's a very long time ago, I hope I got the house number right. Family name was Burtenshaw. I loved my time there as did my younger brother Richard, who just recently passed away. Kudos to the team who manage this site. Great job.
Comments: Everyone have a SAFE long weekend and try to stay cool! Cheers Turk

Comments: Shirley and I were sitting here trying to think of the name of the old “coffee shop” in the mid 1960’s. This was before CanEx came in. Hope everyone is getting their vaccinations and have weathered the pandemic successfully ❤️
Comments: Lived my first 10yrs of life in Camp Shilo. Many fond memories. Lived at 2 petawawa cres.

Comments: Ok, here we go again.
Another casual conversation with a neighbour in our townhouse block reveals another Shilobrat who attended school there for two years!
This is getting spooky-there are Shilobrats lurking on every corner!
Just kidding-but it always surprises me when I seem to stumble on folks out there who have a connection to that place.

Comments: It is indeed a small world. On my street I have two neighbours who served in Shilo about the time I was there. One was a "boy soldier" with the Apprentice Battery. He and his wife (who was a nursing sister) served full careers and are now living retirement on beautiful Vancouver Island.

Comments: Recently, I was again reminded that it's a small world in which we reside.
On my walk to the garbage bins in our townhouse complex, I stopped to chat with a neighbour whom I hadn't met before. Early in our conversation, he mentioned "when I was in the military in Manitoba". Of course, I asked where-and of course, he said Shilo! Turns out he served for almost 25 years-much of it with the RCA.
I think it was an hour before I finally got to the garbage bin...once again, that little speck on the prairies casts its wide web!

Comments: Hello! I was so happy to find the "ShiloBrats" web page last night when I was online researching Shilo and was excited to explore it and happily found a photo of the PMQ my family lived in, as well as my uncle/aunt/cousins' house, when dad was posted to Camp Shilo in 1952. We lived at 24 Esquimalt Crescent and I'd love to add our name as having lived in the house from 1952 - 1960 when dad was posted to Camp Borden, Ontario. This is a fantastic site and my mom was thrilled when I told her about it. She is 93 now and over the years we often talked about when we lived in Shilo and how it was such a safe and carefree life raising children there.
