    Arrow Video - Salute to the Canadian Army (U.S. Army Signal Corps)

    Based upon the FNC1's shown in various clips, I think this video was produced and released during the 1960's, but I'm not completely sure of that. It's obviously a little staged at points and soldier's don't make great actors in some of the speaking parts, but the real combat and ceremonial footage is enjoyable.

    Big Picture: Salute to the Canadian Army - National Archives and Records Administration - ARC Identifier 2569680 / Local Identifier 111-TV-414 - DVD Copied by Timothy Vollmer.

    This episode in the current THE BIG PICTURE series, filmed in Canadaicon by U.S. Army Signal Corps cameramen, had its world premiere on October 28 at 9:30 P.M. over the coast-to-coast facilities of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Tracing the history of the Canadian Army from the middle of the 18th century to present, the film examines the historic relations of Canada and the United Statesicon. The fruitfulness of Canadian-American solidarity is nowhere more evident than in the shoulder-to-shoulder fighting shared by Canadian and American soldiers on the battlefields of Europe and Korea. Evident throughout the story is the vigorous neighborly spirit which has contributed so mightily to the strength of Canada and the United States alike. As presented on THE BIG PICTURE, Canada's modern Army embodies a living tradition begun long ago and nourished by the many soldiers who contributed service and sacrifice, who led its regiments and filled its ranks on the battlegrounds of the world.

    The senior officer in the P.P.C.L.I. trooping of the colour was A Hamilton Gault, who died in 1958. Also the hatbadges the troops wore were kings crown so it was filmed just after the F.N.s were taken into service in 56 or 57??? I did 25 years with P.P.C.L.I. starting in 1974 but didn't recognise a soul.
