Hi Bill; sorry you are absolutely right. I was speaking of the bn based in Picton that was dropped fm the Canadian Army ORBAT. I think I must have been thinking of the Canadian Guards?
Perhaps some of our more knowledgeable members could clarify if Picton was indeed regarded as the 'guards depot'?
I knew a few Guards offrs early in my career. Some had served in Picton and had some great stories to tell. When I was G4 of 1 CDn DIV in 93, we had a Div HQ ex in the barracks in Picton. The barracks was very run down of course but walking around one could hear or should I say imagine the life the bn had in Picton?
My apologies if I have offended any ex Guards officers/soldiers.
Cheers Al
