MBdr Haleigh VanderPost of 56th Fd Regt RCA first Canadian gunner to ride with the King's Troop RHA.

Yesterday, Master Bombardier Haleigh Vanderpost, of the 56th Field Regiment, RCA made history by becoming the first Canadian gunner to ride with the King's Troop RHA on a Royal Gun Salute to mark the 73rd birthday of His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales.

What an incredible opportunity for this impressive young lady to represent the Royal Canadian Artillery while riding with the King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery in London during the Remembrance Sunday services. Most people who saw this wouldn’t have recognized the significance of the white over red plume on her busby, representing the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Full Dress Uniform.

Ubique!
