On Saturday evening, 1 November 2025, the 26th Field Regiment RCA / XII Manitoba Dragoons Museum made special arrangements to open for the 77th Annual 26th Field Regiment RCA Military Ball which was held in the Brandon Armoury for the first time.
Captain (R) Ted Krasicki volunteered to tour interested attendees through the Museum that evening.
Over 60 people signed the Museum guest book.
A successful evening all round!
A group of around forty people gathered at the Veterans’ Memorial in down-town Brandon to remember and honour veterans.
Rev. Dr. Glen Ball said a prayer for all veterans and for world peace. Major (R) Chuck LaRocque recited “In Flander’s Fields” a poem written by LCol John McCrae during World War I. CWO (R) Ernie Sowiak recited the “Ode of Remembrance”, the fourth stanza of the poem “To the Fallen” written by Laurence Binyon at the beginning of World War I. Poppy wreaths were then laid at the base of the memorial.
After the commemoration, everyone was invited inside the Brandon Armoury for cookies and coffee courtesy of the Museum.
