From the Hamilton Spectator
The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada have a new commander.
Lieutenant-Colonel Lawrence Hatfield took charge of the regiment in a rainy parade celebration at Bayfront Park Sunday, succeeding Lieutenant-Colonel Gary Sexton.
“I’m very privileged today,” Hatfield said. “Our history is time-honoured, written in battle and blood.”
The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada are a Hamilton-based army reserve unit within 31 Canadian Brigade Group. Formed in 1903, it has 34 battle honours from the First and Second World Wars.

Mr Mayor, members of Council, and guests,
It is my privilege today to speak on behalf of those here tonight in military uniforms, those who have recently returned from tours with the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan. These men and women have, like so many other members of this community before them, answered the call. From the War of 1812, to the Boer War, to First and Second World Wars, to the Korean War, to the large number of UN, NATO, and peacekeeping missions, to now Afghanistan.
Steve Arnold – The Hamilton Spectator;
The last thing a Canadian soldier in Afghanistan should have to think about is keeping a job back home.
The Hamilton Chamber of Commerce wants to give that comfort to the country’s reserve soldiers when they’re called into action. In a policy proposal, the business lobby group calls on the federal government to establish a system of tax incentives and other inducements to entice businesses to hold jobs of reservists and make up some of the difference between their military and civilian paycheques.
