Hi all.

Does the current version of the CIC have a Regimental museum? If so can someone provide an address of some sort please.

Cheers

To my knowledge, there is no museum.  The majority of historic documents and items are kept at the CFSMI in Kingston. 

Each individual unit maintains small collections, but I know of none that have a professional or dedicated staff maintaining much more than a small unit display.

The Branch 'Historian', Harold A. Skaarup, has written a history of the Branch.

Publications:

Major Robert Elliot's book "Scarlet to Green"

Harold A. Skaarup's four volumes "Out of Darkness - Light"

Yes, but we are not allowed to tell you where.

Was Major Foreman later promoted within the order?

The KING has been graciously pleased, on the
advice of His Majesty's Canadian Ministers, to give
orders for the following promotion in, and appointments
to, the Most Excellent Order of the British
Empire, in recognition of gallant and distinguished
services in Italy (to be dated 7th July, 1945.):

. . .

To be Additional Members of the Military Division
of the said Most Excellent Order:

. . .

Captain Basil George FOREMAN, Canadian Intelligence
Corps.

I tried searching by google but with that name it invariably results with endless pages about cooking with an electric grill.

 

[larry Strong]

I believe so, I have his pers file, will check after work.


Yup I now know everything about a specific grill

This is almost funny, Larry.

I wonder if Chispa realizes he stumbled upon and has given you back the picture you yourself posted on the Gentlemen Military Interest Club site a few years ago.

Yeah, shows what a small world we live in now.....

Thanks for the link to Harold A. Skaarup, George. I emailed him and got a very nice reply back, however again no luck.


Blackadder, thanks for the MID link, that's one I did not have.

Well the search continues.....

Hi, thank you kindly, appreciated, however fallowed Blackadder’s post, found the PDF, etc, fast, with all the Foreman grill cloture got peckish.
While eating google search, noticed Maj. Basil G...Foreman in small print from GMIC, stumbling on your old post.

Quickly looked for a “picture,” found noting, today while at ancestry.ca found 2,700 George Foreman’s, non with Basil, looked at some memorial PDF’s,
they all have pic’s, see if the Maj., was part of the Canadian Legion, nothing.

I checked Legion, apparently his a survivor, my CDN SWW files no death under Major Basil George Foreman is listed.

I would gingerly suggest, on GMIC you post a thread with the header: Major Basil George Foreman, Canadian Intelligence Corps WWII, Photo Needed.
Post all his stuff and see, might be a family member looking for info on his war service, like stated; today's WWW is a small place.

C.U.
