Today I met with Neil Fraser who had kindly
invited me to lunch at the Royal Canadian Military Institute.
As you would perhaps expect a lot of military
display and the one on the left contains a Victoria Cross
Their library surely contains a very
impressive collection of material including all the British Army lists
And here is Neil Fraser (on the right)
standing with the librarian
They still have a card index system but the
librarian knows where everything is. The library can be visited as long as
you arrange your visit with them usually at least 3 days ahead
Some of these rooms can be hired for the day
for a meeting or special event but usually only through a member of the
club
And this is the bar where the bell is rung
when you want to buy everyone in the bar a drink! :-)
And it was now time to say goodbye to Neil and
to thank him very much for a lovely lunch and tour of his club where I
also met some really great folk whose names as usual for me I can't
remember. |
