The end of an era. After 22 years in this beautiful small city of Fredericton New Brunswick, we are moving away to a new home in a different city.
In preparation, I have been packing for several months. All the Royal Flying Corps, CEF (Canadian 1st War), steel helmets, Pickelhaube Wappens, edged weapons etc. have all been packed. The final pack was the Imperial German rooms. And this is the big weekend.
I knew the new house could not accommodate my entire collection, so I over the last two years I have sold 44 Uniforms, 53 Helmets, and 57 cloth caps. What you see in the photos below are what remains. My favourites.
Years back, I worked at the Combat Training Centre HQ, and the Commanding officer once told me; "If you are being run out of town, you might as well head to the front and make it a parade".
So we held a final parade. :salute:
