It is with deep regrets that this message is to inform the Page of the passing of yet another "Warrior"...RSM Vic Jackson MM of the 48th Highlanders of Canada. He started as a line troop, promoted to Sgt of the Support Coy (Sniper) then CSM and finally, after five years of the most degrading, soul breaking work on the face of the planet they made him RSM. Upon his retirement from the Regiment, he became a Law Enforcement officer with Metro (Toronto Police Force) and retired as a Detective Sargeant. (I know that I've missed details that are important to others and for that I apologize).

I first met this individual approximately five years ago as his driver to our Warrant Officers' and Sargeants' mess function and got my ear chewed off for an hour about the pomp and pagentry "BullShit" that went with the Regiment and how little he cared for all the "crap". Later on, much later I might add, this very same curmudgeon that had ragged on me about all the hoopla and crap told me in no uncertain terms, that if I was ever to have to trust anyone or anything, the Regiment is where you could place that trust and have it returned tenfold. That said everything............... Go with God, RSM, if he'll have you...and if he won't, the Devil better run for cover 'cause RSM Jackson is looking your way!

As now and forever
