No matter where you have been serving within the Canadian
Armed Forces (CAF) and especially within the Royal Regiment,
it has been another busy year. Although there were no major
deployments, the collective experience that our Regiment provided to and gained from regional missions around the world
and at home has remained tremendous.
This past year saw gunners on HMCS Toronto in the Arabian
Sea, operating small unmanned aerial vehicles. Gunners continue to be an integral part of ship’s company’s and are leading
the development of joint surveillance capabilities with our Navy

home, the Royal Regiment answered the call. Regrettably, this
experience came at a cost – in lives and injuries sustained in
service to Canada. Our Fallen will forever be remembered for
the people they were and the positive impact that they have had,
not only on the people of Afghanistan, but also on us. In all cases
gunners served stoically, loyally, and professionally. Today, all
gunners remain prepared to commit to whatever new demands
will come our way – our perpetuation of the commitment of those
that have gone before us – lest we forget.

into the post Cold War, and in the current environment of unprecedented instability and unpredictability, we provided the gunner
guarantee: as mud gunners, bird gunners, locators, FOOs and
FACs, in FSCCs and ASCCs, through the provision of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities – as well as
by being leaders within the institutions of the Army and the CAF

l’armée et de la police afghanes dans le cadre de la MFO-A.
Là encore, telle une famille épaulée par nos propres familles à
domicile, le Régiment royal a répondu à l’appel. Malheureusement, l’expérience s’est avérée coûteuse en soldats morts et
blessés au service du Canada. Nos disparus resteront à jamais
dans nos mémoires pour ce qu’ils étaient, mais également pour

afghan, mais sur nous. Dans tous les cas, les artilleurs ont servi
stoïquement, faisant montre de loyauté et de professionnalisme.
Aujourd’hui, tous les artilleurs restent prêts à répondre aux demandes qui leur seront faites, quelles qu’elles soient. Ainsi, nous
perpétuerons l’engagement de ceux qui nous ont précédés –
Nous nous souviendrons d’eux.
Sur le plan personnel, l’année 2014 sera ma 36e et dernière
année en uniforme. C’est pourquoi j’aimerais partager avec
vous mon expérience comme membre de notre famille régimentaire et remercier trois de ses générations que j’ai si bien appris
à connaître.
Mon père, le Lcol Archie Beare, était artilleur aux côtés de camarades extraordinaires qui ont jeté les bases dont ma génération a hérité. Ces artilleurs faisaient partie de ma propre famille;
ils ont littéralement contribué à mon éducation. J’ai le souvenir
d’un jeune colonel commandant, alors sous-lieutenant en Allemagne, en train de confectionner des sandwichs au beurre
d’arachide pour Murray, 10 ans, et Stuart, 8 ans. Tous deux (mon

succès de ma génération.
Depuis lors, j’ai été témoin de l’évolution de notre régiment.
J’ai appris et servi au sein d’un nouveau cadre d’artilleurs, de

et la période qui a suivi, ainsi que dans l’environnement actuel
d’instabilité et d’imprévisibilité sans précédent, nous offrons
la garantie de l’artilleur : artilleur de campagne, mitrailleur de
bord, repéreur, OOA et CAA, dans les CCFA et les CCAG, en
fournissant des capacités de renseignement, de surveillance et
de reconnaissance, de même qu’en étant des leaders dans les
établissements de l’Armée de terre et des FAC dans leur ensemble. Nous avons joué à notre tour le rôle d’intégrateur de

et de premier ordre que nous sommes devenus. Merci à tous
ceux avec qui j’ai eu le privilège de servir.
Aujourd’hui, le régiment, comme le reste des FAC, se transforme et évolue en fonction du contexte budgétaire et de conditions de sécurité actuels. C’est de nouveau le moment de
recalibrer nos viseurs et de repointer sur l’avenir. La génération qui suivra la mienne, c’est-à-dire vous qui servez maintenant, a de l’expérience et une compréhension impressionnante

de changements, autant dans votre sphère de contrôle qu’à

without these dedicated Gunners, many of the important projects and initiatives would not happen.
A good example of the importance of volunteers is the McCrae

by the money we can raise and the volunteers willing to step
forward to help.
If we are to continue to advance the interests of The Royal

of volunteering and donating to the cause. In short, we need to

Il faut déployer beaucoup d’efforts et de nombreux artilleurs
doivent s’engager à répondre aux besoins de la famille régimentaire. Le directeur de l’Artillerie de même que le colonel régimentaire et son personnel accomplissent un travail remarquable, et
ce, malgré leur emploi quotidien très chargé. Bien évidemment,
le major régimentaire et son personnel au QRG jouent un rôle
HVVHQWLHOD¿QGHIDLUHHQVRUWHTXHOHVDFWLYLWpVGX5pJLPHQWVH
déroulent sans heurt. Or, la grande majorité des personnes qui
se consacrent au soutien des familles sont des bénévoles. Le
Sénat, la Campagne du patrimoine au niveau national et régional, l’AARC et les autres associations d’artillerie un peu partout
au pays comptent tous sur des gens comme vous et moi pour
faire avancer les choses. Sans ces dévoués artilleurs en effet,
bon nombre des projets et initiatives d’importance n’auraient
pas vu le jour.
Le projet de la statue McCrae constitue un bon exemple de

d’un petit groupe de personnes dévouées.
Lorsque je parcours le pays, on me demande souvent ce que
la famille régimentaire ou l’AARC fait pour moi. Il y a bien sûr les
bourses pour les personnes à charge, les subventions pour les
musées et les projets des unités, notamment la statue McCrae,
qui rend hommage aux artilleurs d’hier et d’aujourd’hui et dont

et du nombre de bénévoles qui sont prêts à s’impliquer.

The end of 2013 brought great sadness as the issue of mental health was tragically brought to the front of our collective consciousness following the recent death of young soldiers. We,

continue to be discussions and studies in the CAF on educational and training requirements of the NCM. There will be continued emphasis on lifelong learning, educational upgrading, and
second language ability. While encouraging the above throughout a member’s career, we must ensure the main focus for our
junior NCMs and senior NCOs is to become the technical and
tactical expert of their craft. In this stage of a career, learning

by NCM leadership and The Royal Regiment will be in a position
to provide quality leaders to the institutional Army and CAF.
2013 saw The Royal Regiment experience a number of second and third order effects as a result of the adoption of the

Dans les FAC, il y a, et il continuera d’y avoir, des débats et
des études concernant les besoins d’instruction et d’éducation
des MR. L’apprentissage continu, les cours de perfectionnement
et les compétences en langue seconde resteront au premier
plan. Tout en encourageant les éléments précédents tout au
long de la carrière du militaire, nous devons veiller à nous concentrer principalement sur la production de MR subalternes et

techniques et tactiques dans leur domaine. À cette étape de la
carrière, l’apprentissage devrait surtout porter sur l’acquisition
de compétences et de connaissances liées à l’emploi. Ensuite,
les militaires peuvent entreprendre leur autoperfectionnement
en matière d’éducation et de maîtrise de la langue seconde. À
mesure que les militaires prennent du grade, d’abord jusqu’à adj,
puis jusqu’à adjuc, ils doivent se concentrer sur l’élargissement
de leur base de connaissances et le perfectionnement de leurs
compétences clés et de leur maîtrise de leur langue seconde.
Ainsi, les MR, par leur leadership, pourront continuer de bien
servir nos unités et sous-unités, et le Régiment royal sera en
mesure de fournir des leaders de qualité à l’Armée institutionnelle et aux FAC.
En 2013, le Régiment royal a subi des effets de deuxième et

for the soldiers in 2 RCHA with
a variety of new adventures
and fun experiences. D Battery started off 2013 with a
plunge…into the icy waters
at the Ravenscroft Lodge in
Temagami. This years Battery Winter Warfare Training,

Being a deliberate operation, an immense amount of planning,
meetings, and rehearsals were conducted to prepare the Canadian soldiers to act as a multi-national Global Reaction Force.
On the night of February 27th, six members of 2 RCHA joined
nearly 1800 other airborne service personnel and jumped into

artilleurs ont suivi un entraînement très rigoureux. La course
de 28 obstacles avait un volet par équipe où le Régiment s’est
démarqué en arrivant en troisième position. En plus, il y avait un
volet individuel divisé par groupes soit; 20-29 ans, 30-39 ans et
40 et plus. L’Artil Morin-Boucher s’est hissé en deuxième position dans le groupe 20-29 ans, le Sgt Dion (30-39 ans) et l’Adj

elle a organisé l’Expo Québec durant laquelle plusieurs artilleurs
ont pu montrer à la population leur travail dans leur corps de

FRXUVHV ZHUH UXQ LQ DFFRUGDQFH ZLWK WKH 7UDLQLQJ 3ODQV DQG
participated in many boards to continue to develop Individual
Training. The Orderly Room provided steadfast service to students and School personnel, and Ops and Training continued
WRGHDOZLWKWKHFRQVWDQWO\ÀXLGHQYLURQPHQWWKDWHQFRPSDVVHV
coordination to ensure training can function without delay. As the
fall season progressed into winter, the members of the Battery
completed yet another IBTS cycle. We move once again into the
Christmas period to rest, recoup and be with friends and family.
With spring will come new challenges for us as we begin supporting a new series of writing boards aimed at improving training and standards for some of the many vital courses offered at
the RCAS.

The Band of the 15th Field Artillery Regiment was heavily
involved with both the Regiment and the community in 2013.
The Band found itself engaged in activities ranging from supporting unit functions to marching in civic parades. The Band, in
conjunction with its mandate to Connect with Canadians, also
played in concerts across British Columbia, promoting the military through music.
In June 2013 the Band saw one of its most senior members,
Sgt Greg Graham, retire. Between the former Royal Westminster Regiment Band and the 15th Field Regiment Band, Sgt Graham had over 40 years of service. He was honoured with conJUDWXODWRU\OHWWHUVIURPWKH3ULPH0LQLVWHUWKH&KLHIRI'HIHQVH

Committee to write the history of the Bytown Gunners. The museum project would not have been possible without a generous
endowment from Joy Maclaren. Other vital support has come
from the Regimental Senate, the Bytown Gunner’s order, the
Senior NCO’s Association, and all other friends and volunteers
of the Regiment. These various partners have made the regimental museum popular and have to date registered over 1000
artefacts. We are grateful for all members of the Regiments’ supSRUWLQJRUJDQL]DWLRQVDQGORRNIRUZDUGWRKHOSLQJWKHPLQWKHLU
continuing efforts to preserve the unit’s history and build community here in Ottawa.
In spite of the stresses of the move and challenges posed by
training the Bytown Gunners rose to the occasion in 2013. None
of this would have been possible without the precious support
of our regimental family: our HCol Nanji, the Senate members,
the Senior NCO Association and especially the unit members
themselves. The guns are continuing on with the missions and

In Flanders Fields – Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, May 1915 – May 2015
Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, artillery officer, physician and poet, wrote In Flanders Fields at
the height of Second Ypres, one of the most bitter battles of World War I. The centenary of that poem
falls at the beginning of May 2015. As a result of the initiative of the RCAA and the dynamic
leadership of the McCrae Statue Committee, the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery will erect a
statue to honour John McCrae. DesLJQZRUNLVwell advanced.
The figure will resemble McCrae and show him in a way
highlighting all of his roles, with his dress as an Artillery officer
and his medical bag nearby, as he writes. The statue will show
the destruction of the battlefield and, at his feet, the poppies
which are such an enduring symbol of Remembrance of that
war and all armed conflict since. We are pleased to have
commissioned renowned Canadian sculptor Ruth Abernethy,

A possible design, then Major John McCrae May 1915
We are now involved in discussions with the National Capital Commission (NCC) and anticipate that
we will have authority, in due course, to place the statue near the National Artillery War Memorial, on
Green Island at the junction of the Rideau and Ottawa Rivers, just off Sussex Drive in Ottawa. This
ideal site is just minutes north of the National War Memorial.
The citizens of Guelph, Ontario will also honour John McCrae, by placing an identical statue near his

Au champ d’honneur – Lieutenant-colonel John McCrae, mai 1915-mai 2015
Le lieutenant-colonel John McCrae est un officier d’artillerie, un médecin et un poète qui a composé
Au champ d’honneur lors de la seconde bataille d’Ypres, une des batailles les plus horribles de la
3UHPLqUH*XHUUHPRQGLDOH. Le centième anniversaire de ce poème aura lieu au début de mai 2015.
Suite à l’initiative de l’AARC et grâce au leadership dynamique
du comité de la statue de John McCrae, le Régiment Royal de
l’Artillerie Canadienne dévoilera une statue de John McCrae
pour lui rendre hommage. Le travail de conception avance
bien. La figure est créée afin de ressembler à McCrae et pour
le montrer de IDoRQjPHWWUHHQYDOHXUWRXVVHVU{OHVDYHFVD
tenue d’officier de l’artillerie et son sac de médecin, tout près,
pendant qu’il écrit. La statue exposera la destruction du champ
de bataille et, à ses pieds, les coquelicots qui représentent,
depuis longtemps, le symbole du souvenir de cette guerre et
de tous les conflits armés depuis.
8QPRGqOHSRVVLEOHGXPDMRU John McCrae, mai 1915
Nous sommes maintenant en pourparlers avec la Commission de la capitale nationale (CCN) et
nous prévoyons obtenir la permission, en temps voulu, de placer la statue près du Monument
national aux artilleurs, à l’île Verte, à la jonction des rivières Rideau et des Outaouais, tout près de la
promenade Sussex, à Ottawa. Ce site idéal se trouve à quelques minutes au nord du Monument
national de guerre.
Les citoyens de Guelph, en Ontario, travaillent également sur un projet pour honorer John McCrae,
qui est d’installer une statue identique près de son lieu de naissance. Ils entreprendront une
campagne de financement civile distincte et travailleront étroitement avec notre comité régimentaire
de la campagne de charité situé à Guelph.

sorte que l’on se souvienne de cette légende canadienne et de son œuvre lors du centenaire du
poème Au champ d’honneur.

MBdr Halmrast passed away in 2013; originally hailing from
the Lethbridge area, MBdr Halmrast began his military career
as a Reservist in Lethbridge and then transferred to the Regular
Force 1 RCHA. His return to Lethbridge and service to the Battery was far too short. The tragic loss of this valued member was
a great burden to endure in the concluding months of 2013.
There were numerous awards and honors in the year. Bdr

hours the Bty had deployed and was offering aid to beleaguered

Que faisons-nous?
Au niveau national, nous travaillons avec la CAD pour faire
progresser des dossiers qui touchent les Forces armées canadiennes et le Régiment royal de l’Artillerie canadienne. Au
niveau local, nous sommes la voix de toutes les associations
sociales d’artillerie en ce qui a trait aux problèmes en matière
d’artillerie. Nous nous employons également à faire passer des
messages dans l’ensemble du Régiment.
Au niveau du Régiment, nous appuyons les initiatives qui rendent le Régiment formidable, notamment la rédaction et la publication du Volume 3 de Les artilleurs du Canada et la tenue du
colloque annuel, qui portera cette année sur les engins télépilotés. Il sera notamment question des projets des Forces armées
canadiennes à cet égard et du rôle que jouera le Régiment royal
