The following more recent words were wrilten to salute a more recent momentous but sadly fad. ing event in our own time “Fifty years ago, on July 10, 1943, the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada along with other ele ments of the Canadian First Divi sion, waded ashore onto the Pachino Beaches to be gin the invasion of Sicily. Little did they realize they it was the start of along and bitter campaign that would take the Battalion through Sicily, halfway up Italy and on to northwest Europe.” So wrote Donald Fairweather, D., Honorary Coionel of the Seaforths, in the June 1993 Regi. mental Association Newsletter announcing the anniversary cele. brations and banquet for this major event in the regiment's gal- lant history.

Afterward, the praise of my Guests is music to my ears and a good beginning for the evening's celebrations. Dinner, a hot and tasty buffet, is followed by toasts and speech es. Colonel Fairweather reminds the assembled guests that while this anniversary especially honors those who served in the Sicilian campaign, tribute is also due to those who fought and sometimes dies in the later advance through Italy, Belgium, Holland and beyond. General Hoffmeister calls to mind officers and men who had served so well with him and he speaks of his pride in the reputation of the regiment.
