17 Aug 2025 - The Regimental Rogue moved to a new hosting service in July. — It appears the main casualty was the old blog which depended on the old host's back end code. Work continues in restoring much of that material in a new format - The Minute Book.
The O'Leary Collection; Medals of The Royal Canadian Regiment.
