Recalling S/Sgt. 'Tony' West
Hi Joe ...
May I add my thanks to those of many others for the fine work you have done in creating this most valuable resource for our Members.
I see that you have indicated the NCO's that you served under, i.e Ernie Ruttan who was my NCO i/c at Maillardville Detachment and Roland Harding who was my NCO i/c at Haney following the retirement of S/Sgt. Tony West who was my NCO i/c when I went to Haney in 1964. Tony was a former BCPP and had some wonderful stories to tell about his time when he and his white steed, also named Tony as I recall, patrolled the vast areas surrounding Burns Lake.
Upon retirement he was very much involved in the local riding club and founded a mini-muscial ride for children and had them outfitted in our Review red serges. I was unable to find anything about him on your site and was wondering if in fact he has been included.
Thanks again Joe and continue to keep up the wonderful research and work you are doing on behalf of all of us.
Best regards ...
Ron Mangan,
