God bless the PPCLI.
I found this after stumbling upon the "sniping UN peacekeepers" video in question, which really pissed me off after reading about the Medak Pocket. While it's true that peacekeeping is deeply flawed, the edgy "blue helmets are all useless/corrupt" take has almost certainly made the world worse.

🧵🧵🧵Over the holiday I picked up a memoir written by Hub Gray, Korean War veteran who was a lieutenant with a local infantry regiment (The PPCLI). Tucked away in the back half, Gray describes a disturbing incident where him and the 34 men under his command witness an apparent bio weapon test

Biggish batch of last of my Crusaders and Toulmorese undercoated.
PPCLI gun section and tractor crew in the flocking.
Remembered I had some little balls of welding spatter. Glued to top of barrel to become apples.

Watching old movies with dad:
Note Sgt O'Neil's shoulder flash.
My BNOC training NCO was MWO Baumgarten of the PPCLI. The WO who taught me how to gut-out the impossibly endless ruck march up and down several mountains? PPCLI.
Don't mess with the PPCLI.

My father was career military, I was named after the PPCLI & like many of my generation, our parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents served, sacrificed and lived through not one, but two world wars - and others. I grew up with their stories and lived experience.

What I do know is that without training, you are liable to shit yourself. I also know that units like the PPCLI are very well trained, and I know that I wouldn't talk shit about people who have fought and bled along side your own armed forces.

The Light Infantry Regiment is a good idea, although it will interact strangely with the existing battle honours and regimental identities for the PPCLI, Vandoos and RCR. It’s a concept that’s been tried before and can hopefully be executed properly today without any distribution of Klan literature.

The war ended not long after. Then 45 years later, Gray searched the PPCLI archives at his regimental museum (@themilitarymuseums) and, he writes, was shocked there was no mention of the incident. It simply wasn’t recorded. Not anywhere. He looked elsewhere.

In the years Canada was in Afghanistan, my colleagues and I repeatedly had to profile soldiers who died there.
Here are some that I wrote or co-wrote.

Though a reservist, Corporal Jason Warren had volunteered for a six-month tour in Kandahar. He died Saturday, just two weeks short of leaving the combat zone for a week of decompressing in Cyprus befo...
