RSM Rockey McManus
Voltigeur:
Thank you for posting these great pictures. I was scrolling down and recognized RSM McManus before I read the caption. I entered RMC in Kingston in 1968. RSM McManus was the RSM of the College for the four years that I was there. On the day of our graduation, it was RSM McManus who stood on the edge of the parade square and gave our class our first salute as officers. He was an amazing NCO, a war hero, and I think someone who never slept. I remember that every time you moved on the college, you would look up and see him standing ramrod straight watching you from the tight peak of a Guards Cap. He passed about two years ago after a long career of devotion to Canada. A truly inspirational soldier.
Thank you
Don
