I'm trying to contact Rex Terpening, who has written such an informative history
on thge work of the RCCS in the Arctic. I seek his permission to quote from his
work -- with appropriate credits -- in my second book now in process. (My first,
Good Night Old Man, gives my experiences as one of the terminal generation of
landline commercial Morse operators, (Canadian Pacific Telegrtaphs).
This time, I want to include what I didn't have room for -- the NWT & Y Telegraph
system, which served the north so very well.
Mr. Tarpening, please respond.

I was just musing about the Sigs when I realized I have been on civvy
street longer than I was in the CA(R).
Left back in 1974, saying was then "feeding them not needing them".
God we went through lot a crap then! What a lesson in both democratic and
autocratic service. But on the whole a great time. Miss many of those I served
with; think back on places served and people I met both positive and
unfortunately negative, but thats life.
I really have a lot of respect for those serving in todays military; Kudos to them
one and all.

Generally not having seen each other in 52 years, a few of us from K156 (1958 in
Vimy) are gathering in Cambridge ON on 23 April - an evening of war stories, lies
and bragging. We've even invited our D.I. from basic. Anyone living in the
Cambridge area interested in joining us that evening (we've booked some rooms
at $62.50/night). Email me for details.

I wonder if you might be able to help me in the following, perhaps yourself, or
through any contacts you might have:
I run the Telephone Museum of PEI in eastern PEI. As part of the exhibits, I have
a growing teletype collection. Recently, I added two AN/UGC-504(V) 1 military
teletype/printers to the collection (very similar or identical to the US AN/UGC136AX - note it used the same keyboard as these US machines - the only
difference appears to be the designation plate on the back of the unit). They were
made by Rayethon E-Systems ECI Division in Florida from 1984 onward. It is an
ascii and baudot selectable high speed dot matrix teletype with selectable baud
rates made to run off 110 volts AC.
http://www.qsl.net/vy2ac/ugc-504.html
In order to get them running, I need a bit of information on them - they both came
without their power cords. They use a 5 pin Amphenol connector into which the
AC power and Loop were fed. I need the pin ins/outs for this connector. I realize
they are quite recent. Additionally, I would love to get a photocopy of their
manuals, which I will gladly pay for... You can see one of those units at the URL
above, see dome of the teletypes in the museum collection at:
http://www.qsl.net/vy2ac/rtty.html

Dear Signallers Club - I am looking for help with some research I am doing about
the role my home village of Maiden Newton in West Dorset (UK) had during
WW2. This will eventually be displayed on information boards as part of a
Historic Trail around our village during a large scale Charity 1940's themed
weekend we are holding next year June 19th & 20th 2010. We know that the
signallers were in the village during the war and that they were from Gaspe,
Quebec Province. We also have some memoirs from a Currie Willett who was
billeted in a Nissen Hut within the village. We also know that the unit stationed
here was sent over to France during D-Day. Can anybody out there give me any
more information about the unit that was stationed here. You can contact me on
michael.trew745@btinternet.com. Many thanks for your time.

So, the old Arrowhead Arena burned down. That's a shame, but perhaps a viking
funeral is better than a slow decay into oblivion. During the winter of 76/77, I was
attached from my unit (RCD) to be a rink rat at the Arrowhead. What a great job
that was. Go to work in civvies, drive the Zamboni, hang out at the rink. Those
were golden days indeed, my first tour in Germany. The best years of my life. I'm
currently living the life of a country squire in a rather remote corner of the West
Kootenay. If ever anybody is in the area make sure you look me up. I need some
help drinking my elderberry wine!!

Cdo! Great site.
Am searching for a WW II vet (Signals) by the name of Douglas Brown. He would
have been in Belgium sometime in 1944. A Belgian gentleman whose family
billeted him I think is looking to make contact. If any of you have any idea on how
to locate an old Signaller from that era I'd appreciate the help.

Greetings from Guelph. I was a member of the Signals cadets and Militia in
Ottawa in the mid-1950s. My father, Chris Wright, was a member of RCCS from
the late 1920s, when he joined Signals as a private in Regina, until he retired in
the late 1950s as a Lt.Col. He served in the Prairies and NWT in the 1930s, and
during WW2 was posted to Britain, the Radar School in Halifax, and in Canada.
He served with CARDE (Can. Army Research Defence Establishment) at Camp
Valcartier in the late 1940s for 2 years, and at the School of Signals at Vimy
(Kingston) in the early 1950s. After retirement, he worked for the Dept. of
Defence Production for a few years in Ottawa. He passed away in 1987. If
anyone knew him, I would appreciate hearing from them. Thanks.

response. One of our RCASC members suggested that I post on your web site
get your Alberta members to E-mail Premier Klein (premier@gov,ab.ca) The
more response he receives from retired as well as serving members will surely
sway his decision in the right direction. Thanking you in advance. Bill

Dennis Van Meer today. I hadn't seen him since the early 60s in Germany. He
was a Sigs Elect. He now owns a campground near Red Deer, and one in
Arizona for the snowbirds. Needless to say we had a great chat and many laughs
reminicing of the 'old days'.

Hi fellow Signallers. I've recognized a few names in the guestook and sent emails
tonight. I joined in 58, graduated from K146, served with 5 Sigs Sqn, 1 Sigs Unit,
56 Cdn Sigs Sqn (60-61) and then became a PERI at Anderson Gym in Vimy.
Long story after that but servwed with the MCDT in 1967, 1 Line Troop, Air
Operations in North Bay, CFSPER in Borden and quite the Army in in 1979.
Served another 20 years as a Transit Constable with the Toronto Transit
Commission after that and retired in 2001.I'm now the President of a new
Chapter of CAVUNP and I strongly encourage all peacekeepers to (also) join the
Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping(CAVUNP).
We have 22 Chapters across Canada and if there is not one near you (yet),
become a "member-at-large". It is great! Visit our Website at WWW.Cavunp.htm

Just found out about this site from an old pal on the Motorcycle Display Team.
Thought I'd have a boo to see if I recognized any names. Nope! What the hey,
that was 35 years ago, I can't expect to remember anyones name that long. Just
kidding!! I remember those good times like they were yesterday. Heck, I could
probably do Roll Call off the top of my head, aint that right Buck, or Brush Mush
(Russ), or Herm. Looks like I'm gonna have to spend a few coins, join this bunch,
and get back in touch with a lot of good old friends. I say old, because if I
remember correctly, I was the youngest, or close to it, and I'm damn near ready
to retire with over 30 years at Dofasco Inc. in Hamilton. There's still got to be a
whole lot of motorcycler's left yet, I hope. You'd sure make a grown man happy, if
anyone formerly of the CAF M/C DT were to get in touch.

trade, I quit the Army, and did 25 years with the RCMP. Now semi retired in
central Newfoundland, but keeping close contacts with the military thru 103

Hello Comrades. I'm not a Club member but was introduced to this site by one of
you stalwart members, and in skimming these entries, I note some familiar
names. I was amused by some remarks about Basic Training troops K***. I think
mine was K* ! I took basic when the Forde Bldg was called The Model T Bldg.
Generals Wylie and Simpson were 2nd Lts ! The tree in the parade square was a
sapling. My motto, besides VVV, is E.H.et E. - Ubique Honor et Equis Everywhere Honour and Equality : The motto of the WWII 12th Manitoba
Dragoons. I served 38 yrs in the army.
Let us all honour the miitary ethos. We are, all of us, some of Canada's best.

mentioning of the RCCS (RC SIGS) as the real recipiant of the 100 years of
Military Signalling.. This stamp, if it should come to pass should not be produced
without the badge of
the RCCS as it main legacy!!!

my "Beer-belly Jimmy" in vintage condition);CFB KINGSTON (TD - E Coy 1973),
CFS MASSET (1974/76), CFS Leitrim (1976/79) and of course, CFS ALERT

I am having a real problem with finding out information about my old unit. All the
files are marked "CLOSED" in the National Archives. Some of us have got
together and are trying to plan a mini reunion during the next RC Sigs reunion.
Anyone out there got any contacts/advise on how I can at least get the normal
roles of those that served in Northag Sigs Tp? Visit our site, but its still just in the
planning/building stages. VVV
