Call it a violent century!
In 2014, all Canadians will begin a long remembrance of the first industrialized war in the history
of man, one that cost many nations, including Canada, a massive human toll.
The First World War, or the Great War as it was
called — 16-million war dead
— started the modern era, with
repercussions which affect us to
this day. Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI)
was founded on Aug. 10, 1914
with the Government’s acceptance of the philanthropic offer of Capt Andrew Hamilton
Gault, a Montreal entrepreneur,
to provide $100,000 to raise and
equip a battalion for immediate Capt Gault
overseas service.
PPCLI has served Canada continuously ever since.
In 2014, PPCLI will celebrate with Canadians in
Edmonton, Ottawa and, in 2015, in Belgium and
France. Parades, ceremonials, music, art and memorials will all be featured.
The Charter of the Regiment was signed by the
Minister of Militia and Defence on Aug. 10, 1914.
Eight days later mobilization was complete, as
old soldiers flocked from every part of Canada to
Lansdowne Park in Ottawa, where the Regiment
was assembled.
Out of 1,098 all ranks accepted into the new Regiment, 1,049 had seen previous service in South Africa or in the regular forces of the British Empire.

Flu shots
available
for CF
members
Shilo Stag
Here are a few facts
and myths related to the
flu. Myth: I never get the
flu so I don’t need to be
immunized.
Fact:
You’ve
been
lucky. No one is immune
from these viruses. These
viruses are spread easily
just by breathing, coughing, sneezing and touching something contaminated with mucous from
an infected person’s nose.
Myth: Influenza vaccine can give you the flu.
Fact: The vaccine will
NOT give you the flu.
The vaccine is made from
inactivated or killed bits
of flu virus that can NOT
cause an infection.

Training for war at Camp Hughes
Three soldiers line up outside the 2nd Field Troop Canadian Engineers canteen (above) which was built at
Camp Hughes to provide for the thousands of troops who learned the lessons of trench warfare on the rolling
plains east of CFB Shilo just off Provincial Road 351. The trench system was developed in 1916, a year after
Camp Hughes was named in honour Canada’s Minister of Militia and Defence, Maj-Gen Sam Hughes. Previous to this, the summer training camp which opened in 1910 and saw 1,469 soldiers attend was called Camp
Sewell. In 1916, the camp trained 27,754 troops, making it the largest community in Manitoba outside of Winnipeg. That summer three young privates lost their lives at the camp and are buried in the nearby cemetery: John
Messenger (July 17), Walter Barringer (July 22) and Williams Perkins (July 26). This trio never made it across
the Atlantic Ocean and the trenches in France or Belgium, to fight alongside their Canadian comrades. Bringing
supplies and troops to Camp Hughes meant a stop at the Depot (below). Construction reached its zenith, and
the camp boasted six movie theatres, numerous retail outlets, a hospital, a large heated in-ground swimming
pool, photo studios, a post office and a prison. Troops were accommodated in neat groups of white bell tents,
located around the central camp. In 1933, the camp was dismantled and much of the material, including some
of the buildings, were moved to nearby Camp Shilo. Photos courtesy RCA Museum archives

Drive with care during Halloween night
Lt Dane Nicholson
Halloween is coming up quickly, and
hopefully you have started planning
costumes for everyone in the family.
As usual, we expect a lot of kids out
on the streets of CFB Shilo going houseto-house asking “trick or treat.” I was always disappointed by a trick, so here is
to hoping for a lot of candy.
To make the night eventful for all the
right reasons, be sure to plan ahead for a
fun, safe night.
The greatest safety risk at Halloween
in this area is vehicle traffic out while there are many
more kids out than usual, who are all very excited.
We strongly suggest motorists stay off the roads as
much as possible. With many Halloween events on
Base consider staying local and walking, taking advantage of the messes or home-based activities.
For those driving consider car-pooling with a designated driver, the Shilo Courtesy Shuttle or taxis.
All are cost-effective safe solutions which keep cars
off the road for kids to enjoy their night as safely as
possible.
Will you be among those out trick-or-treating?
Make sure you promote the use of safe costumes.
Here are some great tips for a Halloween costume
which a child will enjoy, while being safe:
• Consider the use of brighter colours, which is possible with most costume designs. Instead of Batman,
consider Spiderman;
• Avoid masks and instead use face paint. This ensures maximum field of vision;
• Ensure all accessories such as swords
are clearly fake and made of flexible materials; and
• Look for flame resistant materials.
It is also important that residential
housing unit residents be prepared to
welcome the area’s youth on Halloween.
If you are not going to participate, it is a
common courtesy to keep lights turned
off to indicate no one is available.
At home or not, ensure your walkways are cleared of any ice or snow depending on weather conditions.
Any pumpkins illuminated with flame should be
placed in a manner that makes them unlikely to be
disturbed.
As well, ensure pets are kept under control on what
can be a very stressful evening for cats and dogs.
Lastly, for all the trick-or-treaters, ensure your loot
is properly inspected when you arrive home. Look
for signs of open or damaged packages or allergens
which may affect you — all of the goodies in this category should be discarded.
If you have any questions or would like more tips
on a safe Halloween night visit the Community Police
Centre at 30 Quebec Cres. from noon to 6 p.m. Monday to Thursday, or 1 to 4 p.m. Friday.
Or go online by visiting our Facebook page at www.

Thanks for making this enjoyable night a safe and
memorable time for all participants.

Business accolades
Highland dancers judged on their dancing

award of excellence from LCol Richard Goodyear
during the Sept. 28 CFB/ASU Shilo honours and

consistently delivering a high standard of service
excellence.” This was the same reason CANEX

An introduction to Highland dancing for residents
of CFB Shilo will occur Oct. 13 when the Manitoba
Highland Dancers Association holds a competition at
the theatre in General Strange Hall.
According to MHDA competition secretary Shona
McHarg, “this is the first event of its kind to be held
in Shilo.”
The event featuring about 80 dancers from communities throughout Manitoba and Saskatchewan will
run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Dancers range in age from four and older, with prepremier dancers taking to the stage from 10 a.m. to
12:30 p.m.
Once the results are tabulated by the judging panel,
awards will be handed out before 1 p.m.
The more experienced dancers in the premier class
will dance from 1 to 3 p.m., followed by an awards
presentation.
McHarg said two judges, Erin Welk of Calgary, Alberta and Mary Munro of Burnaby, BC — both members of the Scottish official board of Highland dancing
judges panel — will adjudicate the event.
How did CFB Shilo attract a Highland dance competition?
“The event landed on Base as MHDA was looking
for a suitable venue that would provide ample seating, a large enough separate warm-up area, and a
convenient location near hotels, restaurants, etc. for
travelling dancers,” offered McHarg.
“In previous years, MHDA had used the Westman
Centennial auditorium. However, practice space was
limited to the concrete foyer which is not ideal, and
About 80 dancers, including a few who call CFB Shilo
home, will compete at a Highland dancing competition
Oct. 13 at the GSH. The public is welcome to observe
the event in the theatre, with admission being free.

availability was slim on ideal dates.”
She added, “As I teach Highland dance lessons at
GSH, I proposed the idea to the executive of MHDA
about using the space.”
Of her 55 Highland dance students, McHarg said
about 30 will participate in the competition. CFB Shilo dancers registered for the event currently include
Madison Barrs, Ada Carr, Ella Chelkowski, Breanna
Forrestall, Ava Grulke, Marcus Grulke, and Olivia
Grulke.

MP barbecue raises funds for blind children
Jillian Driessen
Shilo Stag
One would be hard pressed to
find a person who does not enjoy a
barbecue — especially in Shilo.
That’s why the Military Police
detachment on the Base has been
able to raise more that $1,200 this
year in support of the Military
Police Fund for Blind Children
(MPFBC).
The most recent of these barbecues, held at the MP detachment
Sept. 14, was successful and raised
more than $200.
“The support from the community is really good. At this last barbecue, we had a lot more people
out than I would have expected,”
said Cpl Richard Northrup, who
serves as the representative of the
fund in Shilo.
“It was a beautiful day,” he adds.
“It was nice and sunny … not too
hot and not too cold. It was a nice
day for everyone to come out and
it didn’t rain.”
Throughout the year, Northrup
and the MP unit have hosted several barbecues to raise money. They
also sell MP “hero” teddy bears.
As well, Northrup’s wife Candice
has also started making paracord
bracelets to support the fund. The
bracelets sell for $10, with half the
cost of the bracelets going directly
back to the MPFBC.
The bracelets, available to order
on forms at the detachment or via
Facebook, are made up of approximately 10 feet of black and red
paracord.
In addition to bracelets and ted-

dy bears, Northrup would like to
host a barbecue at the community
policing centre as well as host a
charity mess dinner.
“I’d like to have the MPs volunteer their time to be designated
drivers and drive people home so
they can have a good time,” he
said of his proposed charity mess
dinner.
In October 1977, the Military Police Fund for Blind Children was
established as a charitable corporation.
Today, the fund supports children and young adults up to age
21 and remains the only militaryrun charity in Canada.

EXERCISE KAPYONG FURY
WITH 2PPCLI

Gen (Ret’d) Crabbe (left) and 2PPCLI CO LCol Michael

centennial.
Photo by Jules Xavier
Her Royal Highness Princess Patricia,
daughter of the Governor General, graciously consented for the Regiment to
carry her name.
The Patricias were the first Canadian
combat unit into battle in the First World
War and participated in all the famous
battles of that war, including Ypres,
Passchendaele, Vimy and the Somme.
The Regiment began a history of service to the nation that continues to the
present day, being involved in the major operations undertaken by Canada in
the Second World War in Sicily, Italy and
Northwestern Europe, followed by Korea, then in Germany as a part of NATO,
UN peacekeeping operations, the former Yugoslavia in peace support, and
Afghanistan throughout the recent war.
This service has cost 1,850 Patricias
their lives and thousands of soldiers injured.
The Regiment has been awarded 38
battle honours, four Commander-inChief Commendations — one for Medak and three for Afghanistan — and
one U.S. Presidential Unit Citation (Kapyong). There have been three Victoria
Cross winners.
Today’s PPCLI consists of more than
2,000 serving soldiers mainly stationed
in Alberta and Manitoba.
As well, hundreds of Patricias are
serving in various capacities throughout
the Canadian Forces and across Canada,
as do some 30,000 Patricia veterans and
hundreds of cadets — in more than 40
communities and in every province and
one territory.
The Colonel-in-Chief PPCLI is the former Governor-General of Canada, the
Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson,
the first Canadian woman to serve in
such a position.
In 2014, the Regiment will celebrate its
century of service to Canada with major
commemorations in Edmonton in August, Ottawa in September, and Ypres,
Belgium in May 2015.
As well, its members will participate
in a running relay carrying a baton containing the Honour Roll of the regiment
across the country between Edmonton
and Ottawa.
They will also sponsor a world-class
art show in three cities, and will conduct about 30 other significant activities
including the production of books and
music, all to be shared with Canadians
everywhere.

PPCLI as a unique example of living Canadian history, visit www.ppcli.com and

The Shilo Stag 9
Terry Fox event well attended
Shilo Stag
It was a perfect day for
running.
It was not too cold and
not too hot — Sept. 7 was
an especially perfect day
to run for a cause as worthy as cancer research.
This year, more than
500 people participated
in the annual Terry Fox
Run at CFB Shilo, lending their legs to five- and
10-kilometre runs and
walks while raising more
than $2,000.
The morning kicked
off with a warm-up led
by Janelle Boyd, who
used the Village People’s
classic song YMCA to inspire her attentive audience out front of the Drill
Hall. After a few words
from Base Commander
LCol Richard Goodyear,
the runners were off with
CFB Shilo Emergency
Services leading the way.
The Terry Fox Run is
an annual event hosted
by communities across
Canada and around the
world to raise money
for the Terry Fox Foundation, which to date
has raised more than
$600-million for cancer
research.
Unlike other funds
for cancer, the Terry Fox
Foundation contributes
on average 84 cents for
every dollar raised solely
to research.
Annual runs are organized by volunteers
and are non-competitive, with no entry fees
or minimum pledges.
Additionally, funds are
raised by participants
and volunteers without
fiscal sponsorship from
outside sponsors.
This is the 32nd year
CFB Shilo has organized
a Terry Fox Run.
Following this year’s
morning run/walk, participants were treated to
lunch served by the Shilo

The Shilo Stag 11
Base teenagers enjoy
their busy summer
Jodi Billard
Summer has come and gone and
CFB Shilo teens are adjusting to being
back to school.
But before we said goodbye to summer, we would like to fill you in on what
we did this summer.
One of our highlights was a road trip
to Lilac Resort in St. Anne.
We had eight teens attend and everyone had a great time.
The trip was paid for through fundraising by the teens and Teen Centre
staff, so we would like to thank those
individuals who helped make the trip
possible.
The Teen Centre underwent some
changes during the summer months.
We added a “dry” bar, restaurant
booth, couch, and an air hockey table.
We also now have a candy bar which
so far has been extremely popular. No
more candy bags full of candies which
you may or may not like.
Now teenagers choose what goes into
the bag and what they spend. Candies
are five or 10 cents each, and selection
is updated regularly. During the coming
months, the Teen Centre will also see a
fresh paint scheme and more new additions, including a new TV.
One of the computers which was re-
moved to allow for the renovations will
be returned as well.
Once the changes are complete, we
will be having a grand re-opening to
show off the updated Teen Centre —
watch for details.
The Teen Centre has been a busy
place since we re-opened Sept. 7. We
have welcomed many new faces and
familiar ones, too.
And, of course, new members are always encouraged to visit.
The Teen Centre is open Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 6
to 10 p.m. for individuals aged 12 to 17.
Membership is free, we just ask that a
membership form be completed.
In the upcoming months, we will be
having movie nights twice a month; going to a corn maze; holding a dance;
planning a Christmas shopping trip in
Winnipeg; plus offer volunteer opportunities for teens.
Keep an eye on our website and
newsletter for more information.
If you haven’t already, be sure to join
the Shilo MFRC Teen Centre group on
Facebook for the most up-to-date information.
Jodi Billard is the assistant youth
leader at the Shilo Military Family Resource Centre.
