My father served in the Seaforth Highlanders Regiment during the early 1950s. The battle history of the Highlanders is very remarkable from the First World War to the war in Afghanistan and they have a proud place in Vancouver military history. The Seaforth Armoury is a Vancouver landmark located on Burrard street just south of the bridge. My dad always says that he had a great time serving with the Highlanders. The Seaforth Highlanders are well represented in every Remembrance Day parade.
