Jim Seggie said:Back a number of years ago, PRes regiments were tasked with Cbt Sp roles...The Royal Regina Regiment (The Johns) were the 81 mm Mortar dudes who, in event of war, would man some tubes for Reg Force bns (In theory anyways) I believe the Royal Winnipeg Rifles were anti-tank dudes.
Thoughts?
Yup, when I joined up in the 1970's Seaforths were Mortars, Westies had the 106mm etc. Later on saw Recce in RNLDR, 81mm in the PLF in the 1980's and then again in the 1990's 81's the 48th in Toronto etc etc. 3 RCR Mortar Platoon on Reforger in 1980 had 7 trained militia augmentees in it. It wasn't broke and didn't need fixing.
